  1. It is logical. I maintain low revolutions until the engine reaches optimal temperature, but I desire the ability to swiftly transition to peak performance when necessary.
  2. Is that due to the impossibility of accomplishing it with Bimmercode, among other tools?
  3. It certainly impacts my 435d. Activating sport mode via the button results in a gear reduction. When I shift the gear selector to sport mode, it downshifts by one further gear. I have also attempted various 0-60 times, as I have recently acquired the car and am experimenting with it. In sport mode with the standard gearbox, I achieved approximately 6 seconds. In sport mode, the gearbox reduced the times to approximately 5 seconds.
  4. I am unfamiliar with BMW and have no prior experience in coding. Is it possible to program the vehicle so that engaging the gear selector into sport mode instantly transitions the car into sport driving mode? I cannot recall a scenario in which I would like expedited changes without also seeking enhanced throttle response; thus, it would be advantageous to simply switch the gear selector to sport mode to optimise performance for overtaking manoeuvres. Alternatively, am I incorrectly utilising the drive mode selector? When I engage the sport mode via the button, the throttle response appears enhanced, and the gearbox downshifts. However, I assume it is also necessary to convert the gearbox to sport mode for optimal performance?

  6. I believe he implies it is not accelerating. It must be connected to observe the situation. Typically, there is a malfunction of the hydraulic pump.
  7. My annual mileage is comparable to yours, hence I concur that the additional expense will be justified, as will the increased frequency of oil changes. Thank you for your contribution.
  8. I was unaware that fuel from supermarkets differs from that obtained at petrol stations. Two years between services is excessive; I schedule mine every eight to ten months. I might not have been deterred from purchasing an Evoque, but I regret having read about the issues associated with it. I simply need to wait for the appropriate opportunity.
  9. Greetings to everybody, I am new to the site as I am seeking to acquire an Evoque; however, I have read that the Ingenium engine may experience issues with inadequate regeneration and premature timing chain deterioration. If I get a vehicle with little mileage and a comprehensive service history, can I circumvent these problems?
  10. Finally returned to a residence where I can accommodate a second vehicle, so seeking to acquire a convertible Mercedes. It has been eight years since I disposed of my exquisite SLK32, which appears to have undergone a plate change since it has vanished. I would consider another vehicle, but I have always desired the R171 SLK55, which is my primary choice. The prices for the 32 models are quite variable, they take considerable time to sell, and most exhibit bodywork deficiencies, which I like to avoid; I prefer any rust to be concealed on the subframe. The 55 models with around 70,000 miles are priced between £14,000 and £16,000. Conversely, there are some questionable options available on eBay priced between £8,000 and £9,000. There are several potentially altered ones for around £16,000. I am seeking a vehicle within the £10,000 to £12,000 range, prioritising condition above mileage. I have observed several properties that have remained on the market for an extended period without selling, as well as those with seemingly unrealistic pricing. There is a listing on eBay for a vehicle that has accumulated 152,000 kilometres and has been declared a total loss, priced at £12,500. I am not interested in that specific option; nevertheless, I believe that if a quality, low-mileage vehicle can be had for £15,000, a high-mileage, written-off vehicle should be far less, and I would anticipate a price closer to the £8,000-£9,000 area. What is the anticipated cost for a vehicle with a clean history and in excellent condition that has exceeded 100,000 miles? Is my money insufficient to acquire a satisfactory option?
  11. Thank you. I have encountered a defective pump just once, which ceased operation prematurely, long before reaching full capacity. As you said, the first click and stop is the only method. I can visibly see gasoline in the filler pipe when my tank is full.
  12. I must confess this is my first Range Rover after several VAG vehicles, and indeed, it is prone to spillage if one is not cautious. In all my other cars, one may somewhat nibble it after the initial click, but this is not the case with the Evoque.
  13. What alternatives were you anticipating?
