Re: Tyre Pressures for E90

I have recently discovered the weight distribution of these vehicles, and with fuel onboard, it is about a 50/50 ratio between the front and back. I find no justification for increasing the pressure in the rear tires. The recommended elevated pressures from BMW accommodate two rear passengers, signi...

Re: Tyre Pressures for E90

Gosh, I'm surprised you have such high pressures on the rear wheels . ..I'm not sure what the real weight distribution of the automobile is, but I guess it's heavier at the front? On my Mk3 Supra (which is a heavier car) I have found 36psi at the front and 33psi for the rears gives even tyre wear (a...

Tyre Pressures for E90

I am curious about the tyre pressures utilised by individuals on standard wheels. I have consistently observed that manufacturer's settings are seldom optimal; so, after owning a car for several years, I have methodically determined the tyre pressure that ensures uniform wear over the tread width. I...

Re: Hazardous driving help!

Your reading comprehension seems to be deficient.
My post explicitly asserts: I consistently verify and assume control as necessary.

They malfunctioned sometimes, prompting me to deactivate them.

Hazardous driving help!

On Friday, October 3rd, I travelled from Filey in Yorkshire to Peterborough, a distance of 154 miles, in unpleasant weather conditions with rain for the most of the journey. I often use adaptive cruise control, lane centring, and blind spot warnings via wing mirrors and HUD, as I have always found t...

Re: The air intake of the 330d F30 doubles at idle after vigorous acceleration.

I understand; I purchased it without having it tuned. I have scheduled software upgrades for the ECU with BMW and will keep everyone informed.

Re: The air intake of the 330d F30 doubles at idle after vigorous acceleration.

There is a minor update: when the problem occurs, the EGR control value percentage is -14, and the EGR goal value is -10%.I read on another site that someone had the same problem and error when the coolant reached 60°C. They claimed that replacing the air filter resolved the issue. I have attempted ...

Re: The air intake of the 330d F30 doubles at idle after vigorous acceleration.

Are you aware of the cost associated with updating the software from BMW? I drive 50 miles daily to go to work. I will be 29 in a week and am indifferent to the pace of acceleration, provided I reach the desired speed.

Re: The air intake of the 330d F30 doubles at idle after vigorous acceleration.

Attempted a second air filter and reseated it twice. However, it would hardly result in a doubling of the airflow.

The air intake of the 330d F30 doubles at idle after vigorous acceleration.

Can someone assist me in diagnosing this issue? It is likely a poor remap, however I am uncertain whether it has been remapped; yet, the Engine Management Light (EML) just began to illuminate after the air filter replacement. However, if I accelerate rapidly (from about 20 mph), the needed air intak...
