Have you thought about a less expensive pastime if the premium difference for heavily modified vehicles is a dealbreaker? 😉

Well done, you've ruled out that avenue 👍.

You need compression levels above 190 psi for a turbo, which is currently low. I find it interesting that brake cleaner/easy start only moistens the plugs, yet having spark is helpful. Were the sensors you swapped out OEM parts from a local retailer or authentic BMW parts? I won't claim otherwise, but with all the fake stuff floating around, it's worth verifying.

My 2025 Tesla Model 3, which is 8 months old and has 5,600 miles on it, is also experiencing the same issue. There is no one available to answer my question about whether this is covered by warranty because I submitted a service request on a weekend. Some $235 is the "estimate"! Enquiring about if this will fall under warranty or incur actual costs, I included a message. Weekend spent anticipating Monday's response.

While stationary, my 24 plate Nirio HEV indicates that the terms and conditions have changed, however the option to consent is not illuminated when I attempt to see it. I am annoyed with this; does anyone possess a solution?

I apologise if this is the situation. I need guidance regarding the presence of odour in the cabin despite the exhaust system being in its original condition.

Fortunately, for automotive aficionados, the regulations in my locality are merely theoretical.

In all honesty, I likely ought to. However, in actuality, the odour was present since the inception of the stock system. To clarify, the "homebuilt system" is constructed by my friend, a skilled exhaust fabricator. I believe I should commence with a smoke test.

I possess a first edition Proceed GT 12/500, which I thoroughly enjoy modifying and driving; nonetheless, I have encountered this issue since the day of purchase. The stock exhaust of the GT includes a primary catted downpipe positioned post-turbo and an additional one located immediately thereafter (which I purchased without). During a test drive, I detected an odour during heavy acceleration with the windows down, but I dismissed it. Fast forward one to two years of ownership, I resolved to enhance power and sound by constructing a custom catless downpipe. Following the installation of the downpipe and subsequent tuning, the exhaust fumes are incessant and overwhelming when the windows are lowered. Even with the windows closed, I perceive that they still infiltrate the cabin. Nonetheless, I am uncertain about the issue, given the odour was present prior to my removal of the catalytic converter. I attempted to extend the tailpipes, but there was no alteration. Do you have any recommendations?

I have successfully resolved it! The block connector connections on the aesthetically pleasing, although subpar quality, aftermarket headlamp components had begun to deteriorate. Several tips of the pins were really disintegrating. I connected the block and, after identifying several faulty lights, discovered that everything began functioning properly. The extensive hours of meticulous re-wiring yielded commendable results, undoubtedly! Aside from the expense of a batch of Scotch connectors, it was complimentary (quite atypical for my Z4)! Joyful days!

There is no evidence of combustion or thermal damage around the cluster connection or the terminal connector of the wire. Are there further earth connection points to verify, and if so, what are their locations?

I disconnected the ground tracks in the light cluster and connected a line directly from the battery, thus the ground should be adequate.

That is a compelling concept. I suppose there is no harm in attempting.
