Re: Service indicator displayed

No, you can't reset the light or message until you replace the worn sensor.

Re: To adorn or to remove adornment, that is the inquiry.

Not every debadged vehicle conceals inferior specifications, although the overwhelming majority do. Certain individuals remove badges from high-performance vehicles to create sleeper cars 😊 (a wolf in sheep's clothing) or replace them with a 330d emblem 😊

Re: Damage to the 5 Series F10's chassis and a dead spot in the steering

It's just how BMW rolls: they'll find a problem, whether it's with the rack or not. Then they'll replace it with a new one. Who knows if it's fixed or not? All you have to do is find a good independent mechanic—you can find locations on this site.

Re: Feeling utterly bewildered

There's nothing wrong with a car with an N47 engine as long as it has low mileage or has had its timing chain done. I used to recommend 6 cylinders, but the N57 has too many problems. Instead, look at the BMW N47 or B47; there are plenty of models to choose from within your budget.

Re: Pump and filter for washer

The filter in the washer bottle is clogged with black, mouldy gunge.
