Statistics indicate that vehicles such as BMWs and Land Rovers frequently rank among the most stolen cars, prompting insurance firms to adjust their pricing, particularly in areas with high theft rates.

I had not considered it from that perspective, hehe. The location provides an optimal view of the automobile, which is the primary consideration.

Evaluate the cost of the Service Plan and contrast it with the typical charges of a service from an independent garage. If it just pertains to oil services, it may not constitute a favourable agreement. Many BMW maintenance plans seem to include just oil services and other fluids, including engine coolant every five years and brake fluid every three years. Brake pads and discs are classified as 'wear and tear' components and incur additional charges. I believe you will find it more economical to hire an independent contractor for services as needed. Furthermore, oil service intervals as per the BMW timetable are excessively prolonged, extending up to 20,000 kilometres. If you want to retain the vehicle for five years, you need to replace the oil yearly, irrespective of mileage. BMW often refrains from doing a service until the vehicle's computer indicates it is necessary.

Repair mirror chrome finish on CLS Panamera Grille
johnnyb44 replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
Firstly, I think it is referred to as the CLS Panamera Grille. I do not own one; nevertheless, if the chrome-colored plastic resembles the window strips, I regret to inform you that the only recourse is to get a new one, as I have tried several solutions without success. While others may possess the knowledge to rectify the issue, I do not. -
I doubt that a software upgrade will resolve the issue. I believe there is a problem with the hardware.

On my E91, the rear arrangement is simpler; my trailing arm attaches to a single ball joint at the wheel carrier. Upon examining your component, it seems that link part no. 6 contains bushings.
-
It should be OK if it shifts; they informed me that they did not want to break mine but only attempted to use a spanner. The lower ball joint in the wheel carrier caused the camber misalignment, but no play was detectable during inspection.
-
According to Quickfit, my rear camber bolts are seized; however, I believe they were attempting to release the nuts by rotating them in the incorrect direction. The poor camber on the wheel was due to a defective lower ball joint, and upon its replacement, the camber was perfectly aligned without further modification. What is the extent of the camber deviation?
-
Your tracking is very inaccurate if it is exhibiting such behaviour. You have not coiled the ends with the appropriate number of turns; I advise not driving it until you get it aligned, as you may damage your front tires. The origin of the part is uncertain; nonetheless, the corporation operates globally, with the majority of its components manufactured in Germany.

The issue I encountered with the febi nut was its tendency to embed itself into the aluminium hub, making it quite challenging to get the necessary torque when tightening, since it just penetrates the alloy. I filed a complaint with febi, and they sent a design engineer to assess the situation and provide compensation.
-
What do you mean by a 45-degree rotation? Lemforder produces identical components used by BMW. I would have fitted it the same as below, provided yours is that model.
-
I would only choose Lemforder for my vehicle. I attempted to use Febi, but they did not last for a year on my E91. Additionally, they were supplied with un-flanged lock nuts, which would harm the aluminium hub if installed at the proper torque. Purchasing inexpensive options may need doing the task twice, including a second alignment. In my view, the expense and labour of installing substandard components are unjustifiable.

The appointment for the mappers has been scheduled to check for any file corruption. I will find out their assessment, but I won't be able to see the results until september 13th. -

My friend has VCDs, but they are unable to detect any issues, such as codes or malfunctions, related to the turbo or actuator. However, when the actuator is tested, it moves without any restrictions. I have personally acquired an obdeleven device, however it does not display any error codes.
