Merely validated my initial assumption. It is unfortunate, as this appears excellent, and I have observed W211 models utilising them; it seems the wheel hub differs among the 220, 280, 320, etc. Thank you for your time; nevertheless, I believe the wheels are available for purchase if anyone is interested. 235/40/R18 front Rear tires: 255 or 265/35/18. Front tires were recently balanced before to fitting; rear tires require replacement due to deterioration and sidewall cracking.

I believe that is precisely what is occurring. The question now is how and whether I can accommodate them.

The 5x112 bolt pattern is accurate. The standard centre bore is 66.6 mm; I believe the issue is with the nut, which does not fit through the new alloy wheel. Thank you for your response.

By the way, the 18-inch wheels originated from the 2004 E55, so they are indeed year-appropriate, which is somewhat perplexing to me.

Greetings, everyone. I am the delighted owner of a W211 E220 CDI Avantgarde with an automatic gearbox. In excellent condition, I decided to indulge in a set of period-correct AMG wheels to complete the aesthetic. Could someone kindly elucidate why they do not fit? The wheel nuts from my regular factory 16-inch 5-spoke wheels are incompatible with the 18-inch wheels I purchased; therefore, if I attempt to use a different nut, it will not fit the hub, correct? Kindly assist; the images depict an attractive car, and alloy wheels would enhance its aesthetic appeal. Thank you for your attention; I hope someone can assist me, as all the "alloy specialists" have recently disappointed me.

F34 from 2014 Assistance required for key fob issues.
VVC-Geeza replied to heralder's topic in General Car Chat
Please refrain from raising your voice, but have you ensured that the batteries are installed correctly? I have seen this issue when individuals hastily attempt to prevent memory loss or similar concerns. Could you resynchronise them as was possible with the previous versions? I have not encountered this issue myself; my apologies. What is the significance of placing the key beside the column? -

Have you assessed the injector leak-off or leak-back volumes? -

Approximately one year ago, I purchased one from eBay that seamlessly integrates behind the rearview mirror, replacing an existing cover. It directly connects to the wiper wiring at that place, eliminating the need to route cables to other areas. The image quality is exceptional. I cannot recall which specific eBay seller I purchased it from, but they all seem to originate from the same manufacturer.

Registration numbers are variable; thus, the VIN is more precise, particularly when verifying items that may have altered in their identification.

Removal of the turbocharger from the W204 OM651 engine
VVC-Geeza replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
Is there one that likes both female and male turbos? -
I maintain cellular equilibrium. Air conditioning charging. Do not keep the automobile stationary for extended periods at 100% charge.

The Driver Profile is set to default as a guest.
VVC-Geeza replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
The software and hardware are excessively slow to load at startup, causing frustration during the waiting period. The driver profile fails to recognise you, necessitating the selection of the driver post-loading.Adjusting the seat and steering wheel is expedited by just pressing the driver number button located beneath the steering wheel. -
The Smart-Top was supplied and installed by Comand Online in an expedited manner today.I scarcely had time to complete my scampi and chips at the neighbourhood tavern. I am absolutely enamoured with it. Appreciated exploring the owner's exquisite SL600 V12; it is very magnificent. I highly endorse the service provided by these individuals.
-
Comand Online has proposed to supply and install for £550, which I will accept. I am enquiring if they can also perform an Android Auto upgrade concurrently.
-
I have emailed them, but I am not optimistic as they do not offer this device and may be reluctant to undertake installation.

I sent an email to MBS in Southampton, but they have not responded. There has been no reply from PCS in Horndean either.Has anyone had one installed by a garage on the South Coast?

Significant wear would require driving over numerous obstacles while applying substantial brakes or acceleration, in my opinion.

Vindecoderz indicates the year 2011. I presume you are referring to it indicating the year as 2011.5?
-
I could have already experienced speed control. However, I cannot assert that it manifests each time the forward sensor code is present.
-
My vehicle has the same issue around once a month, consistently when in motion; it has never manifested at startup or while using cruise control. It mainly occurs after an encounter with a pothole or an abrupt road irregularity. I prefer not to remove my front bumper, and my vehicle is an early 2011 AB model that seems to have certain components from 2010. The 2010 model had two sensors under the bumper, however the subsequent 2011 and 2012 models are equipped with a single sensor located below the bumper cover. I am uncertain about the version I own, if I have the dual sensor variation, and which, if any, is defective. I am unable to access the area behind the bumper to ascertain if the connector(s) could be loose. I expect to endure it, at least until the temperature significantly increases in this area.
-
I have conducted a search on Google and explored many forums. Has anybody successfully resolved the problem with the forward alert sensor? I have seen this code many times in GAP: C1A67-96. As is often understood, it dissipates with the vehicle's cycle (stop/start). It functioned for many weeks, but then unexpectedly reemerged. Deactivated and reactivated the Range; all functions are operating normally. It is suggested that the front sensor requires replacement. Some assert that the front sensor has faulty wiring or requires alignment (necessitating bumper removal). I am capable of doing this task; however, it would be unfortunate if a replacement sensor were needed and I did not possess it prior to removing the bumper. However, the sensor is expensive, if I can locate one. Some even suggest it may be a defective battery. The resting voltage seems to be around 12.22 volts. During winter, I sometimes saw 11.96 volts, and all I did was open the doors. Should I consider replacing the battery? The battery is about 2-3 years old and comes from Land Rover. Regardless, I acknowledge the abundance of discussions on this topic; yet, after 13 years, there seems to be no conclusion or definitive answer. Perhaps none exists, humorously speaking.

I believe the hue is aesthetically pleasing; nonetheless, the back arches need some enhancement. It resembles a C220d with a front-end modification.
-
Since it is an intermittent failure, inspect for damaged wires or bad connections prior to replacing the sensor.

Inquiry Concerning BMW Locking Wheel Nuts
VVC-Geeza replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
Weld a nut onto it. Garages possess the equipment necessary for their removal. Remove all four and utilise standard bolts; I employ this method. No wheels have been stolen for many years.
