Re: Query regarding scan tool

It shouldn't take more than a few of minutes to scan all of the modules, but it feels like a long time when you're sitting there, so it's probably best to invest in an nt 530 so you can handle more recent models as well.

Re: E53 offspring

I have no doubt that these cars are fantastic, and I know that their owners like them. However, the added complexity of the hybrid system and the intricate technological tricks used to connect the two systems makes me lean more toward the 43 model. Additionally, because to its about 140 kg heavier ...

Re: Violating the E82 Coupe's wing mirrors

Much obliged,
Asking if you should use a trim tool to carefully take it out from the largest opening or from all sides, I'm not sure I understand.
What are the odds of it malfunctioning?

Violating the E82 Coupe's wing mirrors

The tremor in the passenger wing mirror has just recently been noticeable.

Suspension for the back

Are you familiar with the part number for 2016 rear shockers? I'm a little confused by the letters at the end of the ones I've seen online; for example, I've seen 5QM-513-029-M on some, but on others the last M is another letter or combination of letters.
