  1. Indeed, the vexing aspect is that, in my vehicle at least, it stays in a disabled state for what seems to be an entirely arbitrary duration upon initialization. Occasionally, the response is very immediate, but on other occasions, it may need several seconds. If the feature enabled instantaneous clicking upon its initial appearance, without exception, the experience would be far less unfavourable.
  2. Acetone is the appropriate substance for the task.
  3. The torque value suggests that the primary force is being exerted by the bolt clamping mechanism. During the disassembly of my smart car's engine, I saw that the cam chain sprocket had a key, but the sprocket located behind it, which is responsible for driving the oil pump, lacked a key and relied only on friction for power transmission.
  4. To what extent is the key damaged? Typically, the key is mostly used for alignment purposes rather than for transmitting force. The clamping force exerted by the nut/bolt generates sufficient friction for the sprocket to receive drive from the shaft.
  5. Although you may attempt to do so, I anticipate that you will later regret the time you spent on it when dismantling the chain and other components in order to remove the sprocket.
  6. Crescent-shaped - negative. Possibly a linear form.
  7. Ensure that the map is regularly updated and that the camera is realigned, especially if the vehicle has received a new windscreen
  8. Indeed, it is quite likely that it will. I would only do the task after the expiration of the warranty period. Is it accurate to assert that the 340d model has been discontinued? Has it been removed from the BMW website?
  9. The assertion made is reasonable; yet, the responsibility for driving behaviour ultimately rests with the driver, who has the agency to make decisions about their vehicle operation. A driver's licence may be revoked for non-compliance with speed limitations in any motor vehicle.
  10. One will get great enjoyment in it. I have not personally experienced driving the 340i; but, based on the information I have gathered, it is expected that the level of satisfaction derived from owning a 340i would be comparable to that of 340d owners. The additional storage capacity will prove to be quite valuable.
  11. Thus far, no issues have arisen, but my 320 had a few complications. Manufacturing defects and product recalls. One of the factors that influenced my decision to get the M340d was the extended duration of the warranty. Indeed, the remapping process is now being taken into account.
  12. Indeed, it is affirmative.
  13. In September, I acquired the 2021 M340d, which was a notable upgrade over the 2019 320d model. I must express my astonishment at the performance and features of the vehicle. The automobile is rather impressive. In eco mode, the vehicle achieves a fuel efficiency of over 60 miles per gallon on motorways. However, when switched to sport plus mode, the fuel efficiency drops to an estimated range of 25-30 miles per gallon, accompanied by a significant increase in performance. This enhanced performance may result in a notable decrease of around 5 miles per gallon, but it is likely to be compensated by the enjoyable driving experience. I just had the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) body kit installed, and I must express my astonishment and enthusiasm with the outcome. The automobile has been fully assembled. Please get a single item.
  14. can you confirm the absence of DAB in your E class? I would like to mention that my S212 from early 2012 does indeed has DAB. Following my purchase in 2018, I proceeded to have the vehicle fitted with a dashcam at Comand online. Additionally, the technicians at Comand online suggested a software update for the Command system.
  15. Congratulations! You are the recipient of the Heath Robinson award. At times, individuals are compelled to do necessary actions.
  16. Approximately 25 years ago, an acquisition was made of a certain item, which was used on two occasions and demonstrated flawless functionality. I have refrained from using it due to the consistent provision of business vehicles over a span of 15 years. Additionally, my engagement in other professional responsibilities has precluded me from doing such tasks for an extended duration. I am considering the possibility of replacing the ball joints on one of the automobiles in the near future, with the intention of maximising the value of my investment, provided that I am able to locate the vehicle.
  17. It is well acknowledged that there is no logical justification for it to be left-handed. However, it is likely that while reading this article, there may have been a fleeting moment when you experienced surprise or disbelief. Apologies, I was unable to resist. In workshop scenarios such as the one you now encounter, it has been consistently said that the use of heat and aggression may prove to be advantageous.
  18. The issue is in the use of left-handed threaded bolts, which may be somewhat intricate.
  19. Have you been regularly checking the air pressure in your tyres? The presence of low pressure is a crucial factor contributing to the occurrence of fractured wheels.
  20. I just purchased authentic MB coolant subsequent to replacing the thermostat on my CLK. The bottle explicitly instructs to dilute the coolant with tap water at a 1:1 ratio, in order to provide protection against temperatures as low as -37 Celsius.
  21. Is the brake fluid replacement not included in the standard maintenance for a B vehicle, or is it considered as an extra service? All supplementary tasks are included inside a monthly service package.
  22. Greetings, everyone, I am encountering a similar problem with my W221 vehicle. The clock is now running a few minutes behind and is no longer synchronizing with the instruction. Has anybody successfully acquired the TIPS document?
