BEERMAN

I own a 1.8 model (with a slightly larger trunk due to the battery being in the front). Completely dull and uninteresting to drive, particularly with the CVT gearbox, but absolutely flawless and dependable for family duties. It consumes an absurd amount of matter. My major comments: Even the base model has adaptive cruise control and lane assist (lane assist isn't as effective as other cars I've driven, but it's more than capable of steering in stop-and-go traffic and on motorways). It seems to be impeded by roadworks and other surfaces with unclear lines). This option is so costly on some models. Excellent posterior space for isofix seats; both our rear-facing and forward-facing seats fit perfectly. Disappointed it lacks front Isofix, which other models are beginning to incorporate. I believe it is standard, but ours came with a cargo net and other rear accoutrements. Apple CarPlay operates flawlessly (though not wirelessly), so I never use the in-car entertainment system. Average 65mpg with no conscious effort, and up to 75mpg with modest economy driving (although this is the 1.8). The air conditioning is powered by the hybrid battery, whereas the furnace requires the engine; therefore, the winter-to-summer difference in fuel economy can be significant; however, I've never achieved less than 65mpg in 10,000 miles of driving. The Toyota/Lexus hybrids appear to have an exceptional reputation for dependability and have remarkably low operating expenses. The previous model of the Auris seems to be at the top of the charts for minimal depreciation, so I am hopeful that this will be the case as well. The Auris hybrid is highly susceptible to cat theft, whereas the Corolla's catalytic converter is located closer to the exhaust manifold, making it less accessible, and I haven't heard the same terror stories. The height of the adjustable floor is set to the flat position. Additionally, there is ample stowage underneath the floor. There are buttons in the trunk for folding down the rear seats without having to stroll around. It destroys my spirit as a driving enthusiast, but meets all requirements for transporting the family. I cannot therefore criticise. We used to have an EV, but the charging became too much of a hassle with a newborn/young child when we were out and about; driving this vehicle is just as soothing. We have not yet exceeded the capacity, despite transporting a preposterous amount of items. If you have any specific queries, I'll do my best to answer them.

Welcome to the BMW Owners' Club, pal! With an E12 of your calibre, you are more than welcome here. wow, what a treasure you've found! It's possible that your E12 has the lowest mileage of any I've ever seen. No one here has an E12, however my 520i E28, which has the same engine as yours but a fuel injection system added on, comes rather close. I'm dying to see more pictures on here!

Did you purchase it privately or from a dealer, etc? if the vendor accepts the return. Disc changer, as silly as it sounds, is it properly installed? or attempt to breath on it, as particles can cause this. My E46's key may require reprogramming; I'm presently experiencing this issue. cannot assist with television displays

Some would disagree, but if, like me, you just have ramps and recall the question, "How much is that dog in the window?" hire a garage to do it. It's a miserable job. I had to abandon up after just half-way through and contact my neighborhood garage to complete the driveway project. Very awkward.

When wedges are used between two flat surfaces, they must have only one curve -- or??

No, many pipes only break under pressure; otherwise, they may seem perfectly good. I used to pull them off, securely seal one end with my finger, then place the other end on my compressor with an airbed (tapered) fitting for a second... They should be OK if they hold enough to make your finger come free...

Additionally, as @Mistral mentioned, ensure that the pipelines, if they are in excellent condition, are installed correctly.

Sorry, I mistook the hoses for individual washing jets. I'm not sure which lube either... sorry...

The nozzles are where the blockage will be, making washer jets the simplest and most cost-effective option. The hoses should be good since they are a direct line to the nozzles. Take the hose away from the nozzle's rear and test the water flow.

With my wife's Hyundai Getz, we recently experienced the same (don't laugh). Ultimately, it turned out to be the washer jets on the bonnet, so I got two new ones, switched them out, and now they look like fire hydrants! Older ones were incapable of cleaning since they were coated and bunged up with black sludge, as Johnny claims.
