  1. Great thread!was correct when they suggested moving to the hub center method. Tire profile and pressure always cloud the rim-to-arch reading, so it's worth comparing your new numbers instead. Your comfort to sport drop appears to be about correct for these vehicles, if that helps. In Sport, Airmatic lowers the front end by around 20 mm and the rear end by about 10 mm on the X218; these dimensions correspond to your 670 to 650 and 640 to 630 measurements, respectively. Therefore, nothing there shouts that something is amiss. What would actually reassure me is that the two sides read the same, 670/670 and 640/640. When the level sensors show that the airmatic is at the desired height, the struts and accumulator are evenly holding the pressure, which is why symmetric readings are important. A worn strut or a leaking accumulator would have caused one corner to sit 15 or 20 mm lower than the other. Put your worries about it drooping to rest; it appears to be level on yours. A few things to keep in mind so that other people's measurements are fair. No one else in the car, same tyre pressures, about the same amount of gas and on a flat, level surface. The readings obtained after a run and those taken after parking for some time might be slightly different because Airmatic adjusts the ride height depending on the vehicle's position. Even with the steel front, Cherrypd, your husband's rear air figure will serve as a good stand-in for the OP's Comfort rear, as both rears will self-level to their respective targets. True to what the OP stated, fronts will clash.
  2. As expected, I am grateful. Strange, though.
  3. Hello Everyone The other day I observed that my 2024 Sportage GT Line's rear lights, particularly the inner ones, have acquired multiple fractures. Interestingly, there has been no damage to the body, therefore there has been no collision or anything like that. This happened to anyone else as well? If that's the case, could you please tell me what steps you've taken? Much obliged.
  4. Verify that the x11 connector—which goes into the internal fuse box's base—is not rusted; otherwise, you will not be able to receive any signals.
  5. The second set of knobs for the back doors was just installed. Despite not being covered by warranty, the last pair was installed at no cost to the customer. They said it was a design flaw and repaired it when I reported it two years ago. That is plainly not the case.
  6. The owner clearly knows what it's like to have unscrupulous individuals show up and take advantage of the car for sale. Lots of useful advice for anyone planning to sell autos in the future.
  7. As long as you maintain the 6,000-mile service and change the oil and filter regularly, your vehicle will run like new.
  8. On a budget? Just use 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it off and cover the doors with BMW stripe M decals. For around £200-£250, which includes an electric pressure paint gun that connects to the wall outlet, you could spray wrap the entire thing if you're comfortable with that kind of thing. I get my spray wrap paint from a business called Matt-Pack, by the way. Go ahead and search "DIP YOUR CAR" on YouTube if you're feeling adventurous and want to see some spray wrapping. Spray wrapping is a relatively easy technique that I've been doing for a few years now. Once you have the equipment and are skilled at it, your friends will want you to change the colour of their motor.
  9. It might be wise for you to contact NASA 😂. In my opinion, your issue is much above our area of competence 😂.
  10. You should probably start by contacting the dealer who installed it.
