As far as I'm concerned, the tires can be shredded since they aren't my current preferred option (I would love a whole set of similar ones). My goal in scheduling gearbox repair for this coming Friday is to finally have the 'thump' out of lower ratios eliminated, a problem that has plagued me with every high-miler I've ever owned.

I want to thank everyone. I was able to get it for free as a buddy of mine had it sitting on his drive for three years and was about to send it for scrap. This antique diesel-powered vehicle has 148k miles on the odometer and is now a weekly commuting route between Nottinghamshire and West London. It starts up with the first turn of the key. I haven't spent enough money on her to make the experience as "finessed" as I would want it to be just yet, but she drives well and when I press the fun pedal, I get the results I desire. Plus, it's completely free of the features that have irritated me in the last several vehicles—for example, lane keep assist, speed sign alert, weariness monitor, etc.—so I can relax and enjoy the ride. Progress: Replaced battery Equip yourself with discs, pads, callipers, and flexi lines. A few tires Concrete manifold Inclusive service Carrier for new driver door handles The other set of items: A code for a remote fob Rear ARB bushes (MOT notice) Change the gearbox fluid. Vac cylinders and lines, as well as new engine mounts Updated audio system with Apple CarPlay compatibility (the original device only had one functional corner) With any luck, the vacuum cylinder will fix the engine's last wobble, and then everything will be fine. Since Turbo is the first, it may be considered later this year.

The X5 was mys at no cost. I rescued it from the scrapyard, restored a few parts, and am now using it every day.

The back sensor on the right or left side? Also, are xenon headlights standard on this vehicle? The sensors on the driver's side are responsible for auto-leveling the headlights.

The additional oil changes are essential. One of my vehicles has had oil changes every 12 months, although only accumulating 1,700 miles. However, I prioritise the MOT and oil and filter replacement while it is on the ramp, with other filters replaced as needed.

Which module is being referenced? What is the FEM?

I purchased a 2019 F31 with 35,000 miles on it. Through the utilisation of Carly, I discerned that fraud was probable. I consulted a BMW specialist who validated my concern: the vehicle had previously been equipped with a mileage blocker and had accumulated 93,000 kilometres. I am not too worried, given that mileage is hardly substantial for a B47. However, because to the inconsistent service history (probably to conceal the mileage blocker), I have undertaken the following actions: Comprehensive service Cera Tec application Archoil DR6900 application Transfer case lubricant replacement The vehicle functions adequately, despite an error signal indicating variable glow plug resistance. I will likely replace all the plugs on the next service. Are any other actions I should contemplate undertaking?

Primary statistic. I purchased one from ECP, and it lasted only 9 miles until the car reached temperature and then became stuck in the open position. While not advocating for the payment of BMW tax, consider acquiring a quality product from MAHLE. MEYLE is my preference.

I had it changed at a BMW dealership, with the cost covered by BMW; nonetheless, this issue predated the EGR repair.

It is a two-wheel drive.

Greetings everyone, I possess a 2016 BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer with a 1.4L diesel engine and automatic gearbox, accommodating seven passengers. At low speeds (below 20 mph), particularly in stop-and-go traffic, the gearbox occasionally jerks violently, resembling the sensation of being struck from the front or rear. I have infrequently received a "Transmission too hot" warning, which dissipates within seconds. I had not seen it for six months; nonetheless, I encountered those individuals today when travelling through the town this afternoon. A BMW dealership reported that they conducted an inspection and found no apparent problems or warning codes. Another mechanic recommended a complete gearbox replacement, estimated at between £5,000 to £6,000, which seems like a significant increase. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or possess any insights regarding the potential cause? Your feedback is appreciated - thank you!

I initially proposed that to one of the mechanics working on the vehicle; however, he insisted on cleaning the heater core first, as he prefers not to replace components unnecessarily. Well, it is completed now.

I have resolved the issue. Despite purging both heater matrices of the Vito and refilling the coolant using a vacuum pump system for £120, the issue persists. I changed the water pump, which appeared to resolve the issue. I appreciate everyone's assistance.

It is the 2.1 Merc engine. Automated.

I considered the possibility of an airlock; however, the coolant level has consistently remained adequate, and there have been no recent alterations that would precipitate an airlock, unless it is feasible for one to occur spontaneously. Nonetheless, I will conduct a comprehensive coolant flush to eliminate any airlock; I am uncertain about the complexity of the procedure, so it is prudent to entrust it to professionals. I will thereafter provide a report here.
