Just configure the temperature and distribution settings, and it will work year-round, rain or shine. On occasion, fog the windscreen with defogger. "My air conditioner isn't working this year. Should I re-gas it?"
-
As we head into winter, I just wanted to stress how important it is that people keep their air conditioners on all winter long. Your gaskets could dry up and let gas escape if oil isn't moving through them. Put the economy button out of your mind! Every May or anytime the temperature rises over 20 degrees Celsius, I seem to be reading about re-gas. It's getting old. Compared to the cost of petrol, the savings are insignificant. The means at your disposal for charging your system are not.

I appreciate the advice, both of you. Did it again the way you wisely advised. Probably, I should give SYTNERS service management a go.
-
Being an amateur, I would suspect something else could be at blame.

The rear camber appears to be quite similar to my E91, measuring -1* 47' and -1* 42'. My own measurements are -1* 55' and -1* 46'. The difference between the E91 and your Xdrive 5er is somewhat more noticeable, but I'm not sure how significant it is. The toe is also slightly more.

The number of cloned cars on the road is already high enough; why make it easier for them? My top tip: retake that photo with the number plate and vin removed.
-
All right, I appreciate the advice.

Document everything you know. No one on the forum will offer a hand if you try to turn it into a game. My ex-wife weighs half as much as that towbar limit.
-
Oh, my goodness. Much obliged. I'm afraid I can't place the blame on the Britons. With a 90 kg towbar limit, I believe I can eliminate the possibility of under-or over-inflation. My main gripe is with tracking. If anyone can decipher it, I do have the most recent data! It could also be a differential equation. I really hope you don't

Perhaps there are a lot of turns, low tyre pressure and heavy foot. Are you in Birmingham?

It is 2019 and I still have the G31 530. Michelin run flats—the back three tires—have experienced tread separation during that period. Has anybody else experienced this?

Warning about a rise in battery drain

I understand that trustpilot reviews aren't perfect, but 1.9 does point to some problems. It seems likely that you received a subpar one. -
Hi there! I was wondering if you go on regular long trips or shorter ones.

Warning about a rise in battery drain
Howard_silver replied to VWDaveBMW's topic in General Discussions
The battery could still be defective, so you shouldn't rule it out just yet. Before dropping the battery, make sure it's fully charged and conduct a parasitic drain test. The condition or transfer points should also be examined, since e9x can experience corrosion and water intrusion in the battery box. -
The new facelift model of the Hi e90 330D from 2009 Every morning after the car has been standing overnight, I receive the message about increased battery discharge, which looks like a car on a ramp. However, after driving a few miles, the message disappears. Replaceable battery that is one year old. Just curious as to what it could be. Are you asking Ceydd what it is or where to begin searching? I am grateful.

A leak lets air in while the engine is cooling but coolant out while it's running, which might sound alarming. The coolant that ought to be drawn from the reservoir is instead displaced by that air. Like me, you can keep a valley plate leak under control by checking the coolant under the pressure cap weekly. There may not be enough coolant in the engine if you only check the reservoir level twice a year. You won't be able to tell when there's a more serious issue with the cooling system because of the odour of coolant caused by the seepage. A job of that magnitude would easily cost $1500 USD, and it would require about 10 hours of actual work. They might as well change the gaskets on the valve covers while they're at it.
