Re: Potential sequence of events?

I was so exhausted that I paid too much attention to the oil change that happened a thousand miles ago.

Much obliged.

Re: Potential sequence of events?

I understand now; when I start the engine, I don't hear anything; it was just noticeably louder than normal.

Potential sequence of events?

Where is everyone?

Some thirty thousand miles ago, BMW installed a new engine in this vehicle.

The mileage is 128k, but it is unclear whether the timing chain was also changed.

Re: the bZ4 parking brake never released

Up until about two weeks ago, my '26 bZ did that only once. Putting it in drive didn't make it release. It took a lot of deliberate parking, putting my foot on the brake, and then releasing the brake using the console switch. Because I was in a rush, I kept making mistakes. I didn't succeed until I ...

Re: Inside temperature of the vehicle

In my own company, it's the same and no. If it's really hot outside, she'll sometimes turn it down to 18 (because she's no mechanic), but it quickly rises back up to 19 again. I've stopped attempting to clarify. Attention, ladies!

Msport 2012 BMW 520d

Hello! I am in the market for an android screen for a 2008 BMW E70 X5 with a CCCC system. I was hoping to find an adaptor cable that would fit my f10 cic harness and allow me to connect it to the screen. The only connector preventing me from using the screen is the CCCC connector, but I already have ...
