  1. It is necessary to refrain from applying wax or ceramic coating to paint for a minimum duration of 30 days. The paint requires a minimum amount of time for the process of outgassing to be completed. The same applies to paint protective film.
  2. Ultimately, it is only an exhibition, and the most unfavourable aspect is its non-functionality. I am concerned with the description they provide on their website. The Carplay Android 11.0 12.3 inch is a high-definition touchscreen GPS navigation system with Bluetooth designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F06 F12 models from 2011 to 2016. Is it tactile?
  3. The OEM display size is 10.25 inches. Am I allowed to substitute with a size of 12 inches or larger? Can you suggest any well-established and dependable Android touchscreens with integrated CarPlay functionality that can be used as a replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) display? I still want to use the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) microphone, back camera, idrive, and steering wheel knobs.
  4. One may easily browse any of the online part database websites to get the part number for the cover using a coarse filter. The HEATER/AC schematics will provide the information. The website <www.realoem.com> is a valuable resource. The website address is www.bimmercat.com. The website address is www.bmwfans.info.
  5. There is an excellent video on YouTube demonstrating the process of accessing and replacing this coarse filter. The video is intended for a f01 7 series, however, our F06/f12/f13 HVAC blower is configured in a similar manner. I will attempt to locate the video and provide it in this location. EDIT: I located the movie, created by a former acquaintance from the e38 Bimmerboard forum era, namely Edwin from the Netherlands. In addition, he captured the audio emitted by the blower at the start of the video, which might potentially aid in identifying if it corresponds to the sound the original poster (OP) is experiencing. Subsequently, he proceeds to demonstrate the process of accessing and removing the cover.
  6. The potential issue might be the coarse filter that safeguards the blower motor located in the engine compartment. The filter may become fragile and fracture, causing the fragments to generate an unusual buzzing sound when they are torn, thrown, and shattered towards the upper section of the blower mower. It is advisable to verify if the coarse filter is deteriorating and whether it is the underlying cause of your problem.
  7. I am unable to assist with the suspension matter, but I encourage everyone to rally and support the team. Come on you Gunners! 😎
  8. Have you successfully resolved this issue? I am experiencing the exact same problem with my 2018 740ld. It only saves around 8 television stations and one radio station. Thank you in advance, Ian.
  9. Vehicles of this kind possess a considerable degree of license-endangering potential on British roadways, even in their factory configuration. Consequently, one may question the rationale of desiring to modify their engine control unit.
  10. It has been a duration of ten months, during which the original poster (OP) has not made any further contributions to this particular topic. The automobile has been successfully purchased by another party. The vehicle has undergone repairs either free of charge or at a significantly inflated cost. The subframe experienced structural failure while travelling at a velocity of 80 miles per hour on a heavily trafficked motorway, resulting in the unfortunate demise of the original poster. Regardless of the circumstances, it seems that the answer will remain elusive.
  11. The original poster (OP) is engaging in a discussion on the W203 model of the C-Class. It is noteworthy because this is the first instance in which the OP has encountered an individual attempting to acquire or repair a subframe for a C-Class W203 vehicle. The problem has so far been seen mostly with the subsequent 204 series.
  12. Please do a thorough exploration. The emphasis has mostly been placed on the sub frames of the W204 models, rather than the earlier W203 vehicles. Could you provide more details or expand upon the topic of failure, particularly in relation to photographs? There is a scarcity of reported instances regarding failures in the W203 C class. By whom was the inspection conducted?
  13. Currently, I am refraining from operating a manual gearbox vehicle, which I see as a lack of proficiency on my part. To increase the rotational velocity, engage the clutch mechanism, allowing the engine to decelerate to its resting state, hence eliminating the presence of the flywheel. Subsequently, the vehicle transitions into a neutral state, disengaging the clutch and effectively reducing the presence of the gearbox. If the prevailing atmosphere persists.
  14. When the vibrations become perceptible, it is advisable to apply gentle pressure to the footbrake while simultaneously maintaining throttle to sustain speed. This will allow for an assessment of whether the vibrations undergo any alterations. Engaging the parking brake poses a much higher level of danger, since it has the potential to induce van rotation due to the ratcheting mechanism. Engaging the release while gradually applying pressure to the pedal will effectively mitigate the aforementioned issue, but requiring a certain level of courage and resilience. The dual mass flywheel is a plausible explanation for the observed symptoms. I am unable to provide an explanation on how to delete without replacing. A minor observation is that I have not personally seen authentic prop shafts equipped with grease nipples on the universal joints (UJ's). This feature seems to be more often found on aftermarket prop shafts. The aftermarket may not possess the same level of reliability as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products.
  15. The process of removal or eradication. The prop seems to have been removed. It is anticipated that the experts would have also addressed the issue of prop bearings. The possibility of having two exhausted rear wheels seems improbable. However, the tread of the tyre has the potential to do this task with relative ease. If the symptoms seen on various tyres, particularly new ones, are consistent, it may be inferred that this possibility has been ruled out. I would start the process by doing a comprehensive disassembly of the back brake system. It is essential to ensure the secure fastening of the parking brake shoes, followed by confirming the unrestricted movement of the callipers and pads. The remaining components are the half shafts, differential, gearbox and torque converter in the case of an automatic transmission, or the dual mass flywheel if it is not an automatic transmission. The consideration of dual mass flywheels is a logical assumption, since it is likely that Mercedes-Benz would have taken this into account. I have experienced a noticeable vibration emanating from an automobile gearbox system. To be candid, my observation was based on an assumption, since I opted to sell the vehicle rather than do a thorough reconditioning of the gearbox. However, the aforementioned factor resulted in an increase in revolutions.
  16. Greetings, individuals. I purchased Strasse wheels for my M6 some time ago; but, subsequent to their acquisition, I have had difficulties pertaining to air leakage and valve stem functionality. After the installation process, it was seen that the rear valves were in contact with the callipers. However, this issue was resolved by replacing the callipers with smaller ones. The location of the valve is situated in a very challenging position, making it arduous to access for the purpose of applying air pressure. Despite acquiring many TPMS sensors, the issue persists and remains unresolved. Could someone provide recommendations on enhancing the practicality of these wheels for convenient access to inflate them, as well as suggestions on how to reset the TPMS?
  17. Do owners residing in humid areas encounter a more pronounced odour emanating from their air conditioning systems compared to those residing in dry climates? I am now residing in the state of Colorado and so far, I have not encountered this particular issue with any of my automobiles.
  18. On occasion, I engage in the practice of cleaning my snooker balls by using a dishwasher. Provide them with a delightful indulgence.
  19. This serves as a helpful reminder for me to complete my tasks over the next summer season. Both the floor mats and the permanently installed indoor carpet. The quality of the shoes is satisfactory, however their color has faded to a light grey over the course of 14 years, indicating that they are no longer in pristine condition. In order to complete the construction of the home...
  20. According to the statement, silver is considered the least favorable color for blending, despite its tiny proportion. However, it is suggested that blending should still be feasible. When visiting a nearby paint shop, it is possible to get a satisfactory color match by using a camera to scan the color. This is due to the fact that paint tends to fade with time, and relying just on the paint code may not provide an optimal match. This is mostly because many colors have many variants.
  21. In order to get an additional 3 decibels, it is necessary to increase the volume by almost double its current level. The efficiency of a speaker is often assessed at a distance of 1 meter, with an input power of 1 watt, resulting in an approximate sound level of 90 decibels. The conversion of 2 watts to 93 decibels is seen. The equation 4 = 96 is mathematically incorrect. The equation 8 = 99 is mathematically incorrect. The equation 16 = 102 is mathematically incorrect. The equation 32 = 105 is incorrect. The equation 64 = 108 is not mathematically accurate. The power output of 128 watts corresponds to a sound level of 111 decibels for a single speaker driver. The truck included around 10 to 12 speakers, which were positioned in a confined space. These speakers were very efficient, with sound output levels ranging from 95 to 98 decibels when driven by a power of 1 watt at a distance of 1 meter. Furthermore, it should be noted that the aforementioned observation was made when the windows were closed. When operating a motor vehicle, I consistently maintained open windows and positioned any noisy objects behind me to prevent direct exposure to my ears. The threshold for discomfort is often seen at a sound level of 130 dB. Exposure to sound levels of 140 dB is known to result in irreversible damage to the auditory system. Sound levels reaching 150 dB have the potential to induce immediate deafness. It is worth noting that sound intensities above about 192 dB may be fatal. The present article aims to explore the correlation between watts and decibels (dBs) in the context of audio systems. I have been using audibly prominent sound systems in my automobiles for an extended duration. I no longer have tinnitus. There was a period during which they experienced pain. At now, my auditory abilities are rather proficient. The sound level in decibels (dB-SPL) is shown next to it. The jet engine emits sound at a level of 140 decibels at a distance of 3 meters, whereas the threshold of discomfort for human hearing is typically about 130 decibels. The rock performance attracted an audience of 120 individuals. The motorbike experienced an acceleration of 5 meters per second squared, reaching a speed of 110 meters per second. Similarly, the pneumatic hammer achieved an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared, resulting in a speed of 100 meters per second. The plant is producing a high level of noise, reaching 90 decibels. The vacuum cleaner has a power rating of 80 units. The traffic congestion is significant, with a high volume of vehicles reaching 70 units. The restaurant has a tranquil ambiance with minimal noise levels, creating a serene dining experience for patrons. The nocturnal ambiance of a residential neighborhood at a certain time, namely 40 minutes beyond sunset. The movie theater had a low attendance rate of 30 individuals. The phenomenon of leaves rustling at a rate of 20 occurrences. The act of human respiration at a depth of 3 meters is seen to occur at a rate of 10 breaths per minute. The threshold of hearing, often known as the lower limit of audibility, refers to the minimum sound intensity that may be detected by those with strong auditory sensitivity.
  22. Fortunately, I do not engage in the exploration of caves. During my experiment, I achieved a sound intensity level of 142 decibels using a subwoofer-equipped audio system while playing a song by the band Metallica. The 1987 pickup truck, specifically the extended cab variant, has undergone a modification whereby the back tiny seats have been eliminated. The back seats of my present vehicle have also been removed. The case resting on the floor is intended for the purpose of housing a pool cue. I have not conducted any tests on my current system, but, it is expected to provide a range of 135-140.
  23. This location necessitates the reduction of stereo volume: The location in question is Long Beach, California. A decibel meter reader was mounted on the roadway. Headers and straight pipes should be taken into consideration. In response to the initiative of a civic organization in Long Beach, California, the local law enforcement authorities have deployed a signage system to monitor the levels of sound produced by automobiles driving through the region. The electronic sign operates in a similar manner to the automatic roadside speed-measuring signs, which promptly display a warning illuminated by LEDs, indicating the current speed of the vehicle as it passes by. The signage incorporates miniature sound-capturing devices that detect and record the highest decibel level detected in its vicinity. Subsequently, this information is visually displayed on the light-emitting diode (LED) screen. On average, vehicles create around 55 to 60 decibels of noise while going at a speed of approximately 60 kilometers per hour. The officers responsible for monitoring the sign are very attentive to vehicles that exceed the noise threshold of 70 to 75 decibels. Individuals who own aftermarket exhaust systems are advised to engage in upshifting by a few gears and increase throttle input while executing a passing maneuver. The use of an electronic indicator by law enforcement agencies to assess the noise levels emitted by automobiles and motorcyclists.
