The RR suspension and all-wheel drive surpass those of the AMG GLS and X5M. The neighbourhood roads are always snow-covered and rutted, which absorbs moisture from the road. The all-wheel drive system excels in traversing various terrains, including 14 inches of snow on an asphalt or slick sloping driveway. The D110 owned by my wife and this RR are the only SUVs/trucks we have own that have never experienced slippage or hesitation in snow. We use appropriate snow tires.

I have accumulated 2300 kilometres on my 2025 550e AB. I have acclimated to the absence of the knobs. It would be somewhat simpler, but I like the more polished appearance. I am not seeing the same problems with my iPhone 16 Pro while using an Otterbox cover. It becomes warm but not hot. The audio system improved somewhat with the latest Pivi upgrade. It much surpasses my 2024 AMG GLS 63, which I disposed of in November. Significantly improved equilibrium and timbre. Lane keeping works comparably to my GLS and the X5M I previously had.Suboptimal, still acceptable. An intriguing statistical point: the RR we hired in Europe performed far better.I contend that the engineering of roads in the UK and Europe is, in my view, generally superior in terms of signage. I resided in Germany for five years and often travelled to Austria and other destinations. The conclusion is that the RR we leased, along with our X5M and several Audis, performed better in Europe than in the United States. I have had no difficulties with radar or cruise control when travelling on I-70 from Denver to Breckenridge. I hardly use it due to road conditions and speed regulation, but when I do, it works well. Last night, I operated it in Dynamic/Sport mode, and it transformed into a radically different car. Not quite at the handling level of my previous X5M, but almost comparable. I like the exquisite ride in the RR over the X5M. In my view, it surpasses the AMG GLS in almost every aspect, save for the exceptional exhaust note of the AMG. Ultimately, I could have saved $20,000 by avoiding two exchanged automobiles to get this one, had I heeded my wife's advice two years before.However, the refinement between 2022 and 2025 would have been absent. I sometimes miss my 23 D90 V8, but I would choose my Range Rover over it.

Thank you once again for everyone’s contributions.

I am uncertain if I am permitted to share links, but here is what I was examining: https://www.saxton4x4.co.uk/vehicle/kia-sportage-15229

Thank you for the responses. I am asking a refund of my reservation money. I felt uneasy spending that much without assurance of the warranty's validity.

I have secured a 72-plate Sportage HEV from a dealer, however it is not an authorised used or main dealer vehicle. The vehicle was first registered on November 22. Last Kia service occurred in November 2023. Presently at 18,000 miles. The dealer has said they would service the vehicle prior to sale (untaxed, suggesting it has been in the trade since November). Several enquiries. Will the delay in service affect the warranty? I understand that Kia permits independent servicing; nevertheless, is there anything more I need get other from an itemised invoice? I presume this will impact resale value due to the absence of a complete Kia service history. Thank you in advance!

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Thank you for your response. 91,000 miles I did not hear any knocking from the chain until today. Is that difficult to repair?

This is my first post, so I appreciate your assistance in advance. Mrs. had a breakdown this morning. While driving on the freeway, the vehicle lost power, shifted into neutral, and has not restarted since. The RAC diagnostic has provided this information; do you have any suggestions?

I absolutely like reading comprehensive assessments such as this. Thank you! I just acquired the same model year and specifications as yours; however, a check engine light illuminated on the second day, and I am now awaiting inspection. I will compose an introduction after it is returned and I have had it for some time. I hope you enjoy extensive journeys with your new Evoque.

Thank you so much for your assistance; it is really appreciated.

Thank you. If I get a 2005 330i differential and use the axles and hub assembly from a wrecked 330ci automatic, will that be compatible?

Thank you for your prompt response. The 2005 330i is a manual E46, whereas the 2002 330ci is an automatic and is being dismantled.

Hello, I own a manual 2005 BMW 330i that need new rear axles, differential, and hub assembly. I discovered a dismantled automatic 330ci that has all the necessary components. Will these components be compatible?

The online Haynes manual indicates that the rear shock absorber mounting bolts should be torqued to 100Nm (M12), however it is significantly inferior to earlier models I have had, in my opinion.

Thank you. There is no weight stamp on them; I am likely going to forgo them due to the weight of the 90 and will wait till I get correct measurements.

They are 19 x 7.5 J45 KA036.

Greetings, everyone! New Owner of CX90 GSL with 19-inch wheels. - The majority of Mazda rims are suitable; nevertheless, weight is a concern. There is a set of 19" CX5 rims from the same model year for sale, but I am unable to locate the weight capacities elsewhere. Do you anticipate any problems?

Which application do you use to get this information?

The battery was assessed after a 5-minute operation and is displaying a voltage of 14.1 volts. After following Ted's excellent advice, I examined the boot and glovebox lights and confirmed that both lights are turned off. I will attempt to connect a voltmeter in series to see whether there is any current consumption while all devices are turned off. Stay tuned for updates.

Excellent idea!

I will do a voltage assessment as recommended and determine the measurement. The battery is functioning well since it is just 3 weeks old. To troubleshoot the issue, I will remove the bulb from the glovebox light to eliminate it as a potential cause.

I believe I am experiencing a malfunction with the Body Control Module (BCM) on my 2003 SL350. After replacing the batteries for the utilities, the central locking system malfunctioned after a mere 2 weeks, necessitating the use of the emergency key to open the boot. The newly installed battery initially displayed a voltage of 12.1 volts. However, after recharging it, the battery returned to its normal functioning state. The engine start battery is functioning properly without any issues. It seems to be a persistent issue with battery drainage or a malfunctioning BCM preventing the battery from charging. I have had a vehicle for a duration of 14 years without experiencing any issues related to battery depletion. Therefore, I assume that the Body Control Module (BCM) may be the cause of this problem. Can anybody provide advice or guidance on this matter? 1) Where is the BCM (Body Control Module) situated in the trunk and how can I access it? 2) How can I do a test for it? 3) It seems that fresh ones are no longer accessible. Is this statement accurate or does anybody possess knowledge of a reliable supplier? 4) Is there a service available for testing and rebuilding these units in case a new one is not available? 5) Any other recommendations for a solution would be welcomed. Using camper van split charge units as a substitute is an option that some individuals have considered, but it should only be considered as a last resort. Thank you.

Another individual who abandoned the physical version of the document many years ago. Primarily, I am hesitant to remove it from the plastic wallet it is in, because of its current condition. I acquired it in the mid-1970s.
