My dealer previously replaced these at no cost in both fobs during service appointments, but they have ceased this practice and now impose a fee upon request. I replace them annually during servicing and, like others, only use high-quality branded batteries.

The spring on the driver's side has fractured.
MrGreedy replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
I believe they manufacture springs from chocolate nowadays. Did not see many snap occurrences years ago, but it is now a commonplace phenomenon. -

Is petroleum-resistant RTV available in the UK?
MrGreedy replied to Chrishazle's topic in General Discussions
Permatex seems to be the term that emerges from a brief Google search, however it looks hard to get in the UK. Cromwell Tools further offers a Dow Corning product, 730 RTV. -
There remains air within. Did he experience data leakage through software?Operating the pump for each corner. I experienced a similar situation a few years ago, but I lacked the time to address it immediately; yet, it resolved itself after a few days.

S211 E55K AMG Estate available on eBay
MrGreedy replied to ML350_Colin's topic in General Discussions
I have a particular fondness for this rare hue. I am uncertain about the condition of that inside; as you mentioned, I have never encountered one so extensively worn. -
Are there any new cars that appeal to you?
MrGreedy replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
The new 5 Series vehicles are aesthetically pleasing; yet, if I possessed that level of financial resources, I would choose to get a 1990s E34 M5, a quintessential BMW that distinguishes itself in a crowd. -
Risks of Purchasing Used Rather Than New
MrGreedy replied to ForumGuru's topic in General Discussions
What is your inquiry? All pre-owned vehicles originate as new ones. Amusement expressed through laughter. -
Consider salvage yards.

Have you verified that the lights are installed properly? New headlights will incur significant costs!

The noise is audible and resembles chain strain in that little movie.

You must upload to YouTube or a similar platform and share the URL. The description suggests it resembles timing chain noise.
-
When maintaining engine revolutions at 1500, is there any audible noise? Additionally, at a cold start, is there any atypical noise emanating from the back of the engine?

Are there valet services available in Surrey?

All that Gleams performed well on my M5 in January 2013. I will choose them again. January 2015 for a comprehensive valet and minor repair of the E55... -
F11 2012 2.0 Diesel Msport daytime running light malfunction
MrGreedy replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
My previous F11 had the same issue; I successfully removed the rust and addressed the moisture infiltration, resulting in the problem being resolved. If not, you are considering a replacement module. -
F11 2012 2.0 Diesel Msport daytime running light malfunction
MrGreedy replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
Examine the module for indications of corrosion, since it is a prevalent f1x problem. Access it via the inspection panel located in the wheel arch liner. A few T20 screws and remove the sliding module. -
After three years, I received comparable MOT recommendations, although there were no stipulations to repair the rear discs or pads. Corrosion is likely to occur more rapidly in coastal locations of the UK than inland. The contributing factors include limited mileage and the duration of driving with an inadequately loaded vehicle. When just you and a front seat passenger are present, with no cargo in the trunk, the front brakes bear the braking strain, resulting in surface rust on the rear brakes. My vehicle is parked outside year-round, which exacerbates the rust problem.

I adored it and still see it as fresh, since the owner plays golf at the same location as I do.

The F13 will not meet your requirements, as the rear seats are nearly impractical for adults. Although I have not experienced the F06, it appears to be as spacious as a 5 Series and is aesthetically superior. Additionally, the build quality of the F12/13 and F06 is exceptional. My previous F13 640d was priced at £81,000 when new; I purchased it for £13,000 in 2020 and sold it for £13,150 last year. If possible, seek a model with comfort seats and the rare Bang & Olufsen stereo system.

Another little detail on the 124 coupés and cabriolets (exclusively) is the small window in the passenger door pocket. The service book was not adapted for right-hand drive cars; rather, it serves as a visual reminder for the next service, which drivers of left-hand drive vehicles see each time they open the driver's door. I took this photograph of my vintage coupé years ago; if you have seen this same image before, it belongs to me!
