  1. Many thanks to all of you. It is currently charging.
  2. Bosch BMW Ignition Coil OEM 04470/94937 (6pcs) : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive
  3. Since then, it has only been started a couple of times; it has not been driven. The next time I want to use it, I'll have to reset the time on the clock, fix the yellow low battery light, and figure out how to unlock the boot without damaging the car. 80Ah 800 CCA was the initial battery specification. A Bosch 95Ah 800 CCA was used as a replacement. It was probably registered and coded with Bimmercode. For the past eight years, I've driven this vehicle without incident. Has the car's brand-new battery really died after four months of inactivity? Will I have to buy it all over again?
  4. https://www.ebay.co.uk/?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181132&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X6fc9d2fa852645d417d0308f3108abf9&subId2=15
  5. On eBay, you can find around 50 of those 830 part numbers.
  6. I've come across a few posts that had similar initial messages. It appears that a date x months from the build date (even without a specified next date) could be triggered by the factory default to Automatic (under Vehicle Maintenance Settings). I changed the Next Service Date from Automatic to Manual in April 2023, after my build was completed in January 2023. Instead of selecting a date, I left "Set Next Service Distance" at 5,000 miles and "Set Next Service Date" blank. Finally, hit the Reset button. Approximately 500 miles prior to the next 5,000 interval, a message reminder has consistently appeared. I am uncertain if your firmware had any effect.
  7. Accurate measurements and understanding the fittings should facilitate a replacement. 👍
  8. The vehicle appears to have required merely a DPF regeneration. This is entirely typical, particularly if you predominantly utilise the vehicle for brief trips. If your driving primarily involves brief excursions of 5–10 km and you seldom embark on extended trips, I recommend steering clear of diesel vehicles. Contemporary diesel engines are adversely affected by interruptions during DPF regenerations. This may result in additional complications, such as fuel contamination in the engine oil, AdBlue crystallisation, and various associated problems.
  9. I appreciate the cordial reception - it pertains to the n57 - I will explore the forum for suggested oils and maintenance timelines. The map dates back to 2016, making the return trip from the dealer an amusing experience with a depleted phone battery. I simply need to purchase numerous accessories, such as a boot liner and roof bars, etc. - I am extremely enthusiastic about this car, although I feel a sense of melancholy bidding farewell to the Z4.
  10. I assume you were referring to AGM! Absorbed Glass Mat batteries contain an electrolyte gel that is retained within a fibreglass mat and, to my knowledge, are hermetically sealed.

  12. I have merely perused this discussion thread. A few enquiries: for what duration have you possessed the vehicle? Have you purchased from an M-B dealership; has it been maintained by them and is it current? I understand the vehicle is several years old, yet if it possesses a complete dealer service history, it might include their Mobilo Life coverage, which could allow you to request a diagnostic visit. I am confident that additional individuals will join, given the numerous terms and conditions; however, the primary stipulation is that maintenance must adhere to the schedule and be performed at an M-B dealership. If that is not the case, are you affiliated with one of the breakdown services, such as AA or RAC, and do you possess home start coverage? Once more, you might be able to arrange for a technician to visit and diagnose the issue with your vehicle. If the issue extends beyond the battery and they are unable to resolve it immediately, you ought to request that they transport the vehicle to a garage of your preference. The issue may lie with the battery, as previously mentioned by others; should you procure a replacement, verify the appropriate specifications for your vehicle (some models possess dual batteries, though I am uncertain about yours) and opt for an OEM brand such as Bosch or Varta; select a battery with a five-year rating. Although substituting the battery will undoubtedly pose no detriment, there exists the potential for other issues to be present. To ascertain the appropriate battery type for your vehicle, input your registration number on the website provided below, navigate to the car batteries section, and it will specify the correct battery model for your car, along with a selection of compatible batteries from various brands; it is advisable to opt for one of the premium brands listed, yet it is prudent to compare prices as they can differ markedly between retailers (occasionally by as much as £100 for the identical battery!). For instance, if a website indicates that your vehicle requires a type 019 battery, it is likely to present various options available for purchase; however, if you also explore platforms such as eBay or Amazon, or simply conduct a Google search for a type 019 car battery (this is merely an illustration and may not pertain to your specific vehicle), the results will yield numerous vendors, revealing considerable price disparities for the identical battery—thus, it is advisable to compare prices.
