Re: Lighting for the back

Be wary of aftermarket lights; I had a bad experience with black rears that misted up constantly; I ended up returning them and getting a brand new, authentic one, and it worked perfectly.

Re: The motorway F11 535XDWhen you lock your 2013 car and turn the key in the ignition, the lights will turn on.

The error codes would gain a lot of knowledge, as you said. From what I understand, ISTA is quite pricey, and an advanced version is required in order to read CAS. From what little I know about the scanner industry, I gather that ISTA is pricey and that an upgraded version is required to read ...

Re: The motorway F11 535XDWhen you lock your 2013 car and turn the key in the ignition, the lights will turn on.

Updating: I have measured the amount of current drawn from the battery when the ignition is turned on for the car. The current steps up from 11.8 amps to more than 19 amps in a matter of seconds. My multimeter's wires were getting too hot, so I turned off the device. Even with the ignition turned ...

Re: Oh my, my 330d xdrive is dying. Any suggestions?

The mechanics there are experts on BMWs, so I'd rather not hold it against them; I haven't had any problems with remaps, dpf, or anything like that. Are the vacuum lines leaking? Thanks for getting back to me; I was under the impression that the repair shop would have looked for error codes as they ...

Oh my, my 330d xdrive is dying. Any suggestions?

My 2014 330D X Drive began losing power approximately four months ago; I experienced what seemed like limp mode and noticed that the exhaust was noticeably louder; the vehicle had a twin conversion. Could anyone provide any insight into what could be going on?+ I spent about £800 on six new ...

Re: mechanisms genuinely

After I swapped out the shifter with a new, high-quality one, the car ran smoothly over fifty miles of stop-and-go traffic. left without incident after dropping off to visit a friend. the road was clean, but I had to drive slowly for a mile in first gear only. All intermittent contacts, such as ...
