The same thing happened to my F32 420i N20, too. No, that is not the brake drying performance. You hardly notice when that one brushes against the pads. The brief power cut that you're describing is actually the vehicle's brakes. On N20, one of these three things happens almost every time: 1. The Classic N20 problem is causing HPFP to begin failing. You experience a split-second cut when it becomes unable to maintain steady cruise pressure. Do not enter any codes until the situation worsens. Using ISTA, verify the readings of your low pressure fuel sensor while you're on the road. Your ignition coils and spark plugs are due for replacement at 76,000 miles. A weak coil will misfire for one combustion cycle under light load at highway speeds, and the DME will cut power to protect the cat. It occurs at such a rapid pace that no code is recorded. See if it follows by switching the coils around the cylinders. 3. Wastegate actuator / charge pipe – A small boost leak won't be noticeable until you're cruising steadily at 60 to 70 mph. Upon detecting boost deviation, the DME briefly cuts throttle. With the wipers turned on, which means it's raining or cold, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the ignition. A cracked coil boot can arc if moisture gets inside. Carry out this task: While you're behind the wheel, have someone record HPFP pressure and misfires using Bimmerlink or ISTA. As soon as it occurs, I wager you will notice a drop in pressure or a misfire count. Put the pieces aside. Record it initially. Please inform me of your findings; I am an expert on N20 gremlins, haha. 💪🏻😊

So that I can adjust the ride height, I just bought a Launch diagnostic tool.
-
Even though I'm 81 years old, I won't be sleeping tonight because there are no leaks and the ride is much better.

In addition to the valve block and fittings, the new pump I purchased also came with "O" rings. For air spring bags, a "O" ring is not necessary. AI also mentioned that the black pipe connecting the compressor to the valve block had a 10 ml nut that, when unscrewed, would release pressure. Yet again, I am mistaken. In order to proceed, either use software deflation or release the red and blue lines.

Under hot weather conditions, the rear air bags failed to inflate and the compressor even came to a halt, likely as a result of thermal cut-out. Once again began working approximately one hour later. Finally decided to replace the rear air bags, compressor, and relay because the car is 8 years old and has 50,000 miles. Got a price of £1400 for these parts alone when I called a local supplier. When I asked about the price, they immediately brought up the BMW stock prices. I called BMW to get a quote for the entire job, and they said it would cost £3500 for three hours of labour. Holy cow! I opted to handle the task on my own. Purchased OEM components on eBay for a total of £217. I was able to complete the DIY job in just 5 hours after receiving parts that were visually identical to the ones on the car. The parts arrived after 2 days and the instructions were very detailed, thanks to Google AI and YouTube. I was surprised by how easy it was. Just one thing to keep in mind - the instructions state to "Inflate new air bags with the car jacked and wheels just touching the ground." That's all. No coding required. This is incorrect because the compressor cannot be activated by the ride height sensors unless the car is lowered below its normal ride height. Contrary to what Google suggests, neither the air bags nor the compressor have "Push fit" connections for airlines. My sincere wish is that this data will allow other people to cut costs just like mine. I should mention that the original compressor was actually manufactured in India and was not even badged as BMW.

I appreciate the advice, both of you. Did it again the way you wisely advised. Probably, I should give SYTNERS service management a go.
-
All right, I appreciate the advice.
-
Oh, my goodness. Much obliged. I'm afraid I can't place the blame on the Britons. With a 90 kg towbar limit, I believe I can eliminate the possibility of under-or over-inflation. My main gripe is with tracking. If anyone can decipher it, I do have the most recent data! It could also be a differential equation. I really hope you don't

It is 2019 and I still have the G31 530. Michelin run flats—the back three tires—have experienced tread separation during that period. Has anybody else experienced this?

I opted for the HU 6014/1 z MANN oil filter and the BMW Twinpower Longlife-04 5W30 motor oil. -

Hey there! I would like to schedule an oil change for a 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30e Hybrid with 130,000 kilometers on the odometer (VIN: WBATS110709D47624). I am at a loss as to which option to select. There is a lot of disagreement online, and when I attempted to use AI to help me decide between the two oils, it gave me conflicting advice: 0W-20 BMW TwinPower Turbo LL-17 FE+ or 5W-30 LL-04 BMW TwinPower Turbo Engine Oil, both made by BMW, 1000 ml each.

Warning: Drivetrain Problem; it is permissible to proceed - DPF
IrvesBMW replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
If the information code indicates that the DPF has reached the end of its lifespan, you can inform that a new DPF has been installed. Since it is merely an informational code, it would not trigger a drivetrain alert. -

Could it have been some questionable fuel if it occurred after filling up?

I need your help with this number, n57, please.
IrvesBMW replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
If the sensor is not there, you should be able to fix the problem by replacing it. -
I had an E92 LCI for five years, but the weather in the UK made me too chicken to ride it roof down. A bunch of young men from Eastern Europe run a barbershop, and there are a couple of black E93s parked outside. They continue to look beautiful every time I pass by.

Sure, I'd be happy to have a look if you were closer. Maybe someone in your neighborhood can suggest a place that won't take advantage of you with their parts cannon.

The air plausibility could be caused by a multitude of causes. If I were in charge, I'd make sure there are no obstructions in the tubing that measures pressure before the turbine. Not even the turbo would be replaced at this point. In a perfect world, you'd be able to use Ista to aid in diagnostics; by the way, whose nation are you in?
