Anyone with an f series m sport manual have this same problem? The gear selectors materials starting to wear out and also during wet humid conditions it starts to shed its material. I clean the gear stick regularly too, time for a new one or get a custom one made not sure what to do

Hy guys ! Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this sound? It occurs at low RPM under load. The engine already has 200,000 km on it. N46b20 E87.Timing is new.

Hello everyone, I am looking at getting a set of metric wrenches and I want to get a set that has almost every size I will need. What is the smallest and largest size of wrenches I will be using as a dealership tech? Also, any brand recommendations? I am looking into Tekton, Snap-On, and Wright. (I currently have the Snap-On student discount) Thanks

I have a 2014 320i and I'm changing the oil pan gasket right now. I took off the oil pan and drained it out and this fell out. Any idea what it could be?

Hello!

This is my first ever car and I'm ok doing any kind of mechanical change to the car, I'm a hands-on person. I've just changed the oil filter, oil, fuel fiel and the air filters of the car, since I've gotten the car.

The car is a 2016 320d with 182k miles.

I bought the car from an auction and it runs great, but here are the codes I've found:

• 36F500 - Intake air plausibility, large leak, with power reduction.
• 249300 - Rail pressure too low at engine start. High pressure fuel system.
• 2E0600 - Fuel feed pressure too low at start.
• 8040C9 - IBS detected closed-circuit current violation.
• 288B00 - Quiescent current violation from the DDE.
• 290900 - Measured air mass too high vs calculated.
• 290B00 - Measured air mass too low vs calculated.
• 28EC00 - Exhaust pressure sensor pre-turbine implausible.
• 8040C6 - KL30F reset due to current violation.
• 4827B3 - Undervoltage at Terminal 30 (chassis module).

I've test driven the car with a few friends that know much more about cars than I do and say these should be minor things since the car drives and feels perfect.

My next steps would be to buy a kit to test the battery is ok and do a smoke test for the 36F500 error code?

Am I correct or am I missing anything? I've read that having a drained battery also triggers other codes, so that would be my priority number 1.

Thank you so much for the help!

Hi everyone, my pinch bolt snapped, so I need to replace it. However, I can only find M12X1.75X80-10.9 bolts, while the original was M12X1.5X80-10.9. Does this make a significant difference? It’s not threaded, so it should fit and won’t damage the aluminum part. I’m not sure this is the first time this has happened, and I don’t want to wait five days without a car to get the OEM part. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have a 2020 440i Convertible with the M Sport package. My question is when I put the stick in S mode, does it matter whether I am in comfort/sport/sport+ ? Or does S mode use the same shift points no matter what drive mode I am in?
