My EV6 GTLS has reached 80 mph on the M25 several times in the same location. However, this occurs solely when the cruise control is adjusted to align with the speed limit, indicated by the green "NAV" on the dashboard. I believe it is incorrectly interpreting a 60mph variable speed limit sign as 80mph. I believe maintaining the cleanliness of cameras is beneficial. To avert this 'misdetection,' adjust the cruise control to little below 70, so eliminating the search for road signs. One must certainly heed alterations in speed limits, as this remains an integral aspect of driving. Regarding your vehicle's "shimmy" with lane keep assist: I understand your perspective, but perhaps you should acclimatise to it. I perceive it distinctly via the steering wheel, albeit at a level I would classify as 'haptic feedback'; the vehic le does not veer left or right but instead follows the contours of the lane gently.

Fault in R55 Clubman Rear Light Assembly
WordSmith replied to alpaco45's topic in General Discussions
The plastic around the bulb holder can be melted; new holders are available from BMW at a reasonable cost. Occasionally, the light unit itself may also be damaged. Additionally, instances of incorrect bulb types being used have been observed. -
Merely another fraudulent scheme at the dealer level. 🤬

Uncertain about the location of the component, comments on that YouTube movie indicated that the issue is not exclusive to BMW; other owners have attempted solutions, and some individuals reported success.

I viewed a YouTube video suggesting that the ticking sound may originate from the hydraulic lifter. To alleviate the issue, one should start the engine and maintain it at 3000 rpm for three minutes; some claim this resolves the problem, making it worth attempting.

New automobile? 318i or 318d? Or incinerate my funds?
WordSmith replied to ianwh4's topic in General Discussions
Disregard the N43, as they are financial burdens. The N47 engine receives negative publicity; yet, if it undergoes chain replacement every 100,000 kilometres and frequent oil and filter changes, it can demonstrate considerable reliability. I have had e9x vehicles with over 100,000 miles, and they have performed OK; minor suspension components and brakes needed replacement, which is typical for any vehicle on the road. Regardless of your choice, it will undoubtedly surpass the PSA substandard engine. -

Be advised that if sensor codes are being triggered infrequently, it is often indicative of an alternative component being worn rather than a faulty sensor. It is advisable to retrieve any codes and share them here so that I or another someone may assist you. -

Acquired the aforementioned information from the F90 forum on the procurement of 2020 or 2021 M5 shop manuals.

A cursory examination revealed this.

Examine eBay; few years before, I purchased a CD that had a handbook, but it was quite some time ago.

What are their settings according to #3?
-
The factory-fitted units are sealed, and the bulbs cannot be changed. It constitutes the whole unit.

Do you currently own factory-installed LED lighting? If such is the case, then the probabilities are likely insufficient. At what level are they configured?

FuseBox/Power/Battery/Dashboard No power to dashboard

Did you attempt to unplug the battery? It proved effective for me and allowed me to return home with the frozen groceries. -
FuseBox/Power/Battery/Dashboard No power to dashboard
WordSmith replied to Alex1978's topic in General Discussions
I believe it was referred to as a B+ cable problem. Consider searching for it on Google and seeing some videos that may assist you. I had this issue with a vehicle, however unplugging the battery restored its functionality. You could consider doing this, since there is nothing to lose. -

C220d AMG Line W205 - travelled 70,000 miles
WordSmith replied to Craigbelont's topic in General Discussions
Tyre pressures may assist, along with the brand and type of tyre, but cannot offset the disadvantages of 19-inch wheels and low-profile tyres. It is unclear if this is a new vehicle to you or whether you have driven it for 70,000 miles; nonetheless, the presence of a 'sports suspension' will determine the ride quality. I own 19-inch wheels on my E-Class Coupe, which is a compromise. -
Hello everyone, I am seeking a brake master cylinder for a right-hand drive BMW E21 320/6. I am encountering difficulties as I can only see options for left-hand drive vehicles, which have ports positioned incorrectly. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Upcoming project vehicle: W124 E320 Cabriolet
WordSmith replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
It will seem appropriate after you have resolved the matter. Is it Signal Red under the fading?
