Re: Contemplating the purchase of a second-generation V10+ Coupe.

Are you located in northern or southern New Jersey? Multiple second-generation individuals are documented in the southeastern region of Pennsylvania. If any of these postings pique your attention, I would be more than willing to inspect them on your behalf, if necessary. Best wishes in your pursuit!

Re: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) or manual pressure gauge

The accuracy of Direct TPMS may be considerable. Most pressure gauges exhibit significant inaccuracies, particularly after a few months of usage. Especially more affordable Chinese ones, which includes a large number of them! The Michelin Eurodainu is the one recommendation I would make. This produc...

Re: Unidentified tape found on the engine cover of a 2011 V8 (manual) vehicle.

I am curious whether any of these were originally placed on autos where the installation was not flawless. However, I would not anticipate such behaviour from the Germans.

Re: Unidentified tape found on the engine cover of a 2011 V8 (manual) vehicle.

I recently parked my vehicle at the airport and opened the hood to inspect the appearance of my 2014 v8 engine. During my inspection, I saw a clip located in the vicinity of the engine. It is possible that they concealed the clip or misplaced it. Indeed, I struggle to remain focused on the subject a...

Re: Unidentified tape found on the engine cover of a 2011 V8 (manual) vehicle.

That is also my guess. Furthermore, are you certain that the extension cables do not pose a potential hazard of causing a fire? Although I am not an electrician, I often interact with engineers who are responsible for determining the appropriate electrical specifications for industrial projects. Acc...

Re: May I inquire about the model of your exceptional phone?

The Samsung A22 was chosen as a replacement for an Apple iPhone due to dissatisfaction with the limitations put on users by iOS. Additionally, after two years of usage, the iPhone's operating system failed to update and some applications had issues, such as failure to update or download. Transitione...

Re: What kind of oil do you use? and your maintenance schedule

I am increasing the frequency of changes to yearly (low yearly miles presently). Mann filters and Castrol FST Ultimate LL04 5W30. The engine has 68,000 miles and I have had it since it was new.

Re: Can the F30 320D (N47) engine be installed in a 2011 E90 318D?

Apologies for resurrecting a highly outdated discussion, but I would like to provide a clear answer for anyone else seeking to undertake the same procedure. The answer is simply yes, it works flawlessly. However, it is worth noting that several additional components may not be compatible (I cannot r...
