  1. One potential first step would be replacing the cabin filters, since this course of action has proven effective in resolving the issue for several individuals. 2021 BMW G20 M340i xDrive - Verde Ermes/Black - 07/2021.50 2019 BMW G05 X5 xDrive40i - Phytonic Blue/Cognac - 07/2022.33
  2. I am not familiar with the subject matter being discussed. Authentic exhaust systems manufactured by Mercedes-Benz for these vehicles are rather expensive. Therefore, I would consider exploring the option of acquiring a custom-made stainless steel replica.
  3. The automobile in question is aesthetically pleasing. Upon seeing the current market value of the item on the online platform eBay, I have come to the realization that if I were not already in possession of the item, I would eagerly accept the offer at hand.
  4. I like the qualities of the soft top, albeit its price is very high. Last year, I made a purchase of a 350, which has been a source of great satisfaction for me. Although I am uncertain if the engine falls under the category of those impacted, it is worth noting that the mileage is still below 50,000 and the performance remains very strong. If the vehicle has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and delivers a satisfactory driving experience, it would be advisable to proceed with the purchase, as it offers a substantial value proposition relative to its cost.
  5. This morning, I started the process of doing the TB adaptation. Upon doing a scan of the vehicle, it was seen that the fuel pressure once again deviated from the specified range. I shall conduct an examination of this matter today. The fault code was cleared and the adaptation process was initiated. Prior to commencement, the numerical values stood at 13.3% and 87.1%. The steps were executed, resulting in values of 12.5% and 87.5%. After a 30-second interval, the values returned to 13.3% and 87.1%, indicating a potential equilibrium state. I conducted a test drive with the vehicle in order to assess the potential recurrence of the fuel pressure issue, although no such occurrence has been seen so far. I conducted a series of acceleration tests from a speed of 20 miles per hour in an attempt to induce a problem and record it in the system. I will examine the logs in order to identify any noteworthy observations.
  6. It seems that you have consistently had fortuitous outcomes with regard to your automobile, my friend.
  7. I am encountering a similar issue with my F56. Would you kindly provide a comprehensive, step-by-step description of the troubleshooting process? The inability to comprehend the actions taken to reinstate it.
  8. Is an octane booster a viable solution for increasing the octane rating of fuel?
  9. How can one get pleasure from music when it is presented at such a high volume level?The user's text does not provide any content to be rewritten.
  10. The individuals in question exhibit audacious behavior. The underlying principle is to refrain from opening the hood until one remains in close proximity to the engine compartment, particularly in situations when an individual attempts to divert one's attention.
  11. The vehicle in question is a BMW 525d. I am uncertain as to the specific errors he may have made. The individuals exhibited intelligence and strategically positioned themselves, with one individual leading us from the front while the other guided us from behind.
  12. The auditory disturbance emanates from the aforementioned vicinity. Following the initiation of the starting process, about two and a half minutes later, an audible sound like the release of compressed air may be perceived. Subsequently, a noise starts and gradually increases in intensity until eventually ceasing. Immediately after the auditory indication of air being released, there is a temporary augmentation in the revolutions per minute of the engine. Based on my observation, it seems that there is an absence of components in the aforementioned region that may potentially generate the auditory disturbance I am now seeing. Curiously, I have observed that when I remove the gasoline filler cap, there is a complete absence of noise, yet the problem reappears when replacing it. It is unlikely that this noise may be attributed to an echo originating from the vacuum pipe connected to the purge solenoid located in the engine compartment. The model I own is designed with a right-hand drive configuration.
  13. No components have been removed, nonetheless, the auditory disturbance originates from the aforementioned region. When occupying the rear portion of the vehicle (specifically the Cabriolet variant), the sound becomes perceptible from the vicinity behind the seat, in the direction of the filler cap area. The auditory disturbance is characterized by a consistent, moderate rattling sound that is absent during the first stages of operation but emerges thereafter, only to cease intermittently. This pattern persists for the duration of the idle state. Is it possible for the solenoid to produce such auditory vibrations, or may there be other mechanical components in close proximity that may be responsible for the noise?
  14. Thank you for your response. The gasoline evaporative charcoal canister is a component designed to capture and store fuel vapors emitted from the fuel system of a vehicle.
  15. I am perceiving a faint auditory disturbance characterized by a low volume ticking or rattling sound during periods of idling. This auditory phenomenon seems to originate from the posterior section of the car. Upon positioning my ear in close proximity to the rear body panels, the intensity of the aforementioned sound is most pronounced. Do you have any conjecture on the source of the auditory disturbance? Is it plausible that the fuel pump is the culprit? Additionally, could you provide information on the specific location of the fuel pump? It is worth noting that the noise seems to be most pronounced in the vicinity of the gasoline filler cap.
  16. The user's text does not require any academic rewriting as it is already in a concise and The individual in question has been recently replaced, maybe due to unforeseen circumstances, rather than as a result of any deliberate or accidental occurrence.
  17. It is presumed that the issue has been resolved at this point. Nevertheless, in the event that the engine fails to start until the air valve piston has been left open, it indicates that the fuel-to-air mixture is too concentrated. Adjust the fuel screw towards its maximum limit. Rotate the carburetor counterclockwise, as seen from below and above, by 420 degrees, which corresponds to a 1 1/4 turn. Initiate the activation of the engine and afterwards exercise patience until it reaches an optimal operational temperature. Utilize the screwdriver to elevate the air valve piston by about 1-2 millimeters. In the event of an increased engine speed, it is necessary to diminish the amount of gasoline by rotating the fuel screw in a clockwise direction, specifically by 1/8th of a complete revolution. Please wait for a period of 30 seconds until the engine reaches a state of normal functioning, and then attempt the task once again. In the event that there is a high probability of the engine ceasing to operate, it is advisable to augment the fuel supply. Rotate the screw counterclockwise and do the action again. The appropriate fuel-to-air ratio should be maintained until the engine experiences a little decrease in speed or remains unchanged, without stalling. Wishing you the best of luck.
  18. Although it may be out of your price range, consider having the vehicle delivered.
  19. I need to find some kind of outlet for my spare time. I put in around 6 hours today on this. Polished with wax and clay Also, using P2000 wet and dry, I flattened back and polished off what were probably just four or five little scratches.
  20. It seems the coating is peeling off.You may easily fix this with some fine wire wool.The same may be said of a scourer pad used for dishwashing. I predict that you will need to use a silver touch-up pen to replace any paint that peels off.
  21. Ah yeah. The W213 Comand system has welcomed you to its realm of disappointment. My 2017 E220d Premium Plus has a widescreen display and adaptive cruise control. I agree with you that the car's potential is squandered by the mediocre Comand interface. I agree with everything you've said thus far, and because you specifically requested for feedback on what you could be missing, I'll add a few things you might encounter in the near future: It might take a while and be unclear when giving directions: The navigation system will give you a heads-up when it's time to make a turn, but it's not uncommon to have already done so by the time the voice instructs you to do so. When approaching a roundabout, it may direct you to take the fifth exit (which is right), but after you're already on the roundabout, it may direct you to take the second or third exit instead. For some reason, it's fallen out of sync with its original intent, which is for you to choose the fifth option. Do you feel like you're not making many 'right' or 'left' turns? They lean "slight right" or "slight left" in the majority. After a time, it starts to grate on my nerves. Third, almost a year after they were included, several roads and roundabouts are still absent from the most up-to-date maps. Have seen this in France and the UK. I recently attempted to locate a certain parking lot in Guidlford that has existed for at least 5 years, but I was unable due to the lack of POIs and the poor quality of the search results. I had to look it up on Google Maps and then type it into Comand by hand since it wasn't there. Like you, I've tried to look for a certain POI by name, only to be forced to manually zoom in on the map and discover it (and sure, it was named the same thing as I had typed in). 5. The map's speed restrictions are often incorrect. This may not seem like a big deal, but there is a little section of the M25 near Dartford where the map indicates that the speed limit is 40 miles per hour. If you're driving in semi-autonomous mode and reach this section, the car will abruptly slow down. Although it hasn't resulted in a collision just yet, things might quickly escalate if you were stuck in heavy traffic with an impatient driver right up your rear end, as often occurs on the M25. I miss the little window that showed me how much time was left before my next turn, but that's just a nitpick. 7. It has poor street knowledge; for example, it may warn you to "prepare to turn right" when the road really only curves to the right. At the fork in the road, it may advise you to go straight on the majority of the time, but on other occasions, it may instruct you to travel in the other direction. Voice instructions are interesting number eight. Little Bently is an Essex village. 'Lt Bently' appears on the road signage. It is pronounced "Leftenant Bently" by my GPS. Love the way the road sign reads "Newport (M4)" yet directs you in the direction of "Newport, open brackets M4 close brackets"? You probably figured by now that the W213 is my biggest pet peeve. It's a real pity since, as you say, otherwise, it's a fantastic vehicle. That is, unless you include the row of controls for the atmosphere, which all seem to be identical and need you to take your eyes from the road in order to determine which one you really want to use. Before this, I drove a W204 estate equipped with a Becker sat nav (not Comand), and it had many of the same shortcomings (albeit I was able to install speed cameras to that system). This (NTG5.5) is likewise powered by Becker and is a relic of the past when installed in a cutting-edge vehicle. It baffles me how a manufacturer of such groundbreaking F1 vehicles can rationalize such behavior. Before committing to a final design, they should do some rigorous usability testing. I did take the initiative to contact MB's CEO with my thoughts, but he hasn't yet responded to my letter. Is there anybody from MB that checks the forums? P.S. - Mercedes, I need to go out to the vehicle again. Again, I see that my windows are open. If the window fairy performs her job as it normally does, she will have shut the windows before I arrive.
  22. I agree with you, MSL or GAD, and on a more negative note, before you rush into anything, check with your insurance carrier.
