  1. Did precipitation occur when the windscreen wipers were in operation, by any chance?
  2. I was only able to locate kits, but I did not check Facebook. I am likewise unable to comprehend it.
  3. https://diversionstores.co.uk/products/bmw-3-series-f30-f31-f35-yellow-drl-module-kit-lci-2016-2019-models-1?srsltid=AfmBOoq6I56RSiaIrQNHluq5I87pb0rn4ZkZ-GyUvCOONC8AQWCYCxkA&porc=vxqwuBiBeyBgCGItBeHfvulIpikqoBh
  4. Upon a brief examination, it seems that the kit is suitable for installation. This particular item is located in the United Kingdom, however Aliex (presumably referring to AliExpress) offers the same item at a far lower price.
  5. Understood. I haven't seen these before, but I have never actively searched for anything yellow. I will do a thorough examination later and if I come across any, I will provide a hyperlink.
  6. Is the yellow colour you are referring to the bright yellow colour or the yellow colour produced by old-style bulbs?
  7. By doing a test with the battery unplugged, you have effectively shown that the issue cannot be attributed to an electrical malfunction.
  8. It seems that the latch has really malfunctioned, since our touring vehicle can be easily opened with a screwdriver. Pressing a button causes it to reopen.
  9. Is manual button pressing required for the release or can it be accomplished with a screwdriver?
  10. Is it possible to engage the lock by applying pressure with a screwdriver?
  11. In order to diagnose the problem, you need ascertain if there is an electrical issue or whether the latch has malfunctioned. To accomplish this, fold the rear seats down so that you can reach the battery while keeping the trunk closed. Deactivate the battery and test whether the tailboard glass can be closed and secured in the absence of electricity in the vehicle.
  12. Apply a generous amount of plus gas to thoroughly saturate it overnight. Assuming that the bolt has a standard head, utilise a socket and breaker bar to attempt to initiate its movement. Subsequently, gently tap it to remove it.
  13. Thank you. Does anybody know the procedure for disabling a missing key? Will the spare key we are using also be deactivated?I apologise for my lack of knowledge on these subjects. Is it performed by authorised BMW dealers or locksmiths?
  14. I would want to express my gratitude to my friends for their valuable remarks. The key remains undiscovered. If the key had been lodged in the crevices of the seat, are I correct in assuming that I should have been able to start the car's ignition? No, it did not. It is likely that the automobile was inadvertently dislodged after being started. Our driveway is monitored with a Ring camera. No one has been seen collecting. Is it possible for the i3 to go a distance of 2 miles without the key being inside the car? Thank you.
  15. I am seeking assistance and would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with support. We own a BMWi3. In order to go shopping, I placed the shopping bags inside the vehicle and left the car key on the driver's seat cushion, which my spouse uses to drive. I desired her to operate the vehicle and proceeded to unlatch the entrance gates to the driveway. Reluctantly, I removed the cushion and occupied the vehicle as my partner rejected to drive. After pressing the start button, the automobile started and we proceeded to the store. After parking the automobile, I deactivated the engine by pressing the button and exited the vehicle. Now the enigma starts. The automobile key eluded my search. When I attempted to start the vehicle, it displayed an error message indicating that the remote control device was not present. Suspecting that I may have misplaced my keys at home, I contacted a friend who graciously offered to drive me there. However, despite our diligent search, we were unable to locate the keys at my residence. We retrieved the additional key and began the vehicle. I have yet to locate the key. As part of an experiment, I started the car's ignition using the auxiliary key and intentionally dropped the auxiliary key. To my astonishment, I successfully operated the vehicle and managed to drive a considerable distance. Subsequently, I returned home by driving. Could someone kindly inform me of the location where I should direct my attention in order to locate my auto key? Has anybody else had a similar experience? Thank you.
  16. I had not previously considered that perspective, but you are correct. I am now contemplating the fact that one of my three vehicles has two tires exhibiting signs of sidewall splitting. I have a preference for Uniroyal tires and unfortunately, their prices have increased. This particular automobile is mostly used on bingo outings.
  17. Although it is not to my own preference, I do not criticise or dismiss them. Inspect for any necessary repairs and also check the date code to ensure that you do not purchase outdated tires.
  18. It may be necessary to click the button to deactivate the engine, after which the electronics will shut down when the door is opened, depending on the idrive configuration. Since I own a 530e, the engine remains inactive while the vehicle is not in motion.
  19. Did you neglect to deactivate the engine by pushing the button? Within the idrive system, there is a specific menu option available that allows you to activate the feature of automatically shutting off the engine when the door is opened. Perhaps using this menu item would be beneficial for your situation. Since I have a keyless system, I am unfamiliar with the purpose of deleting the key.
  20. The M57 engine has a maximum oil capacity of 8 litres. However, it is important to note that overfilling the engine with oil will not conceal any underlying issues if the engine is already in poor condition.
  21. I would accept VWDaveBMW offer and get a quotation for transport services from Shiply or Anyvan.
  22. Locate an alternative BMW dealership. If the consistency of the oil is similar to sludge, it is possible that it was not replaced at the appropriate time. What is the current mileage of the vehicle, and how many miles have you added to it since you bought it?
  23. Yes, I am considering replacing one of the fuel injectors with another. I often notice the smell of gasoline, and it has been more pronounced recently. However, upon discovering a buildup of oil in the chamber, I am contemplating doing a compression test after removing the oil residue.
  24. Gratitude is expressed towards @ChatMaven. In order to confirm an alternative hypothesis, would the presence of a seal problem not result in the depletion of oil from the combustion chamber? Based on my assumption, does the oil go in a downward direction? Unless there is a problem with the seal being broken around the top.
