  1. Ultraviolet radiation specifically affects the appearance of paint, especially red paint finishes. Previously, Mercedes offered a paint kit specifically for fire opal red painted automobiles. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the specific information on this kit. However, it is advisable to consult a dealer's parts department, as they should be able to assist in locating the kit. Why would Mercedes provide a repair kit if the system was not defective.
  2. The visual appearance of something is rather impressive. A fracture or rip has manifested on the front seat of my S205. The outcome is rather unsatisfactory. What was the cost of the retrim? The prospect of completing the whole task at once is rather enticing; nevertheless, I am somewhat apprehensive about the associated expenses. Has there been any instances of Artico MB seat base covers being swapped by other individuals? I express my gratitude in advance.
  3. I have examined the fuse and replaced all of them as a precautionary measure, nevertheless the issue persists. The functionality of the start/stop button is satisfactory, and the trunk comfort access feature works as intended. Only the doors that are no longer functioning. The observed phenomenon is quite unconventional. I saw a pre-owned comfort access module listed on the online marketplace eBay. However, I am uncertain whether the functionality of the start/stop feature and trunk opening capability necessarily indicates the absence of a defective CAS module.
  4. Greetings, The functionality of my comfort access system for all of my doors ceased to operate recently. The batteries on the key fob have been replaced and the fuse in the trunk has been inspected, indicating that both components are functioning properly. The issue at hand is only to the doors, and does not have any discernible impact on the functionality of the push start or trunk comfort open features, which continue to operate without any hindrance to my comfort. Based on my assessment, it seems unlikely that the whole comfort access module is the cause of the issue. Upon doing a diagnostic scan using the BimmerLink software, a total of four faults were detected and shown. Furthermore, I acquired a novel driver side door handle; nonetheless, the outcomes were unchanged. Has anybody encountered this phenomenon previously? Attempting to resolve the issue independently prior to visiting the authorised dealership.
  5. Given your apparent uncertainty over the car's oil consumption, it would be advisable to adopt a proactive approach by regularly inspecting the oil levels, rather of depending only on the car's self-diagnostic capabilities. By doing so, you will be able to identify any abnormal patterns or deviations, potentially enabling you to detect and address any issues before they escalate. It is quite probable that the situation is satisfactory.
  6. In addition to the perspectives shared by other individuals, the original poster (OP) has made a statement on the automobile being newly manufactured, while simultaneously indicating its model year as 2021. If the vehicle in question is from the year 2021, it would be expected to have had at least one servicing session by this point. Can you confirm if this has occurred? I am unable to comprehend the information presented in the entry pertaining to the concept of oil being 'half gone'. A significant number of recent automobile models assert that an oil consumption rate of 1 litre per 1,000 miles, or a comparable value, is within the realm of acceptability. In light of this, it is vital to inquire about the specifications given in the vehicle's manual about this matter.
  7. Does this apply only to situations when one straddles speed "humps" rather than placing just one wheel over the hump while keeping the other on the regular road surface (as suggested for navigating humps), or does it apply consistently to all types of speed bumps regardless of their width? When crossing the tyres, it is important to consider the potential negative impact on the inner sidewall. Therefore, it is advisable to modify the process accordingly.
  8. There is a declining demand for conventional automobiles, with the exception of specialized models that cater to certain market segments. Please refer to the work of Ford. Henceforth, the company will only provide two automobile models for sale: the Mustang, a well-known vehicle, and an unidentified economical model. There is a widespread desire for trucks and SUVs among individuals. The Porsche dealership in my vicinity mostly specializes on the distribution of Cayenne and Macan models.
  9. It is advisable to annually apply a protective spray to the locks and periodically rotate the emergency key, with particular attention given to the boot lock.
  10. To start the process, it is advisable to apply a lubricant, such as silicone or GT85, into each crevice associated with lock mechanisms, as opposed to use WD-40.
  11. I recently replaced the wheels and tires on my vehicle with a size that deviated from the specifications shown on the door label. To ensure accuracy and compatibility, I used a tool for this purpose. The purpose of this tool is to calculate the optimal pressure for vehicle tires.
  12. I adhere exclusively to the prescribed tire pressures and have not encountered any difficulties pertaining to traction or tire degradation.😃
  13. The bonnet is equipped with two release catches on the stays, allowing an increased upward movement. This tool proves to be quite advantageous when there is a requirement to refine the surface under the hood of a vehicle.Were there any other individuals who were aware of this information?
  14. Undoubtedly. Within this community, there are those individuals who display an air of arrogance and conceit, believing that it is incumbent upon others to possess comprehensive knowledge of the complex workings of their own automobiles. Disregard their presence and get satisfaction from your just acquired automobile. If one wants to enhance the level of soundproofing, it is recommended to proceed with the inclusion of supplementary measures. As the owner of the vehicle, you own the autonomy to make decisions on its modifications and alterations according to your preferences. Greetings and welcome to the forum. It is advised to disregard any individuals who may exhibit unintelligent behavior.
  15. It seems like a decent effort was put into the revision.
  16. Indeed, there are some resources pertaining to Finite Element Method (FEM). It is advisable to remove the kick panel and conduct a thorough examination.
  17. Have you examined the fuses located on the Front Electronic Module (FEM) situated behind the kick panel on the passenger side?
  18. Which equipment was used for the scanning process? Generic readers, which I assume were used to extract data, might potentially provide incorrect information on BMW vehicles. To ensure more specificity, it is recommended that a comprehensive vehicle scan using ISTA be conducted. It is advisable to inspect the fuses as a potential cause for the loss of communication, if indeed that is the problem. In addition to the primary fuse box, it is also necessary to consider the fuses located on the Front Electronic Module (FEM).
  19. A comprehensive diagnostic assessment is required to ascertain the specific codes that have been recorded as the first point of reference.
  20. Greetings, I would appreciate obtaining a copy of the DVD if the aforementioned offer is still valid. I believe it would be advantageous to own such DVD. We express our gratitude for your input.
  21. A technician informed me it was a malfunctioning ingector, but I'm not an expert on BMWs. Until the engine reaches around 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, mine makes a horrible knocking noise when cold, as if I rev to about 1500 after sitting for 10 minutes.
  22. Confident that it's a chain? I have the same problem with a banging injector until it heats up.
