  • NO BENEFIT BMW E38 730i

    Hello, owns a BMW E38 730i with 218 hp (built in 95) which does not produce any performance at all. The car vibrates in the stand and runs unevenly. The previous owner said it only includes the ignition times set, but that is not possible and is not true. Now I heard the salad and don’t know what was first exchanged. A mechanic typed the spark plugs once. In the error memory are only the Lambda probes, which were exchanged by the previous owner. This has made 1 hole in the exhaust and Then the problems had surfaced. Anyway, the car needs forever at 80 kmh and the consumption is the horror….

  • Retrofits: 12V socket boot, AHK for bicycle carrier?

    Unfortunately, the Coupé doesn’t have a standard 12V socket in the trunk. In summer, however, this would be not bad for a cooler or similar. Question to the experts: Are there any retrofit kits for the 6 Series Coupé? Alternatively, I also like to use from the 5 Series portfolio. Must then only find a place where I can clamp it and a suitable installation location. Does anyone have tips for me? In order not to have to open an extra thread, the question for a retrofit AHK for the 6 Series xDrive Coupé. Important: I only need it for an existing bike carrier! Logically it should be removable. A trailer operation does not work at the F13 Coupé anyway. Is that true? Retrofitting kits on the free market for the F13 seem to be scarce. The only one I found is the one here:http://www.ahk.beeken-online.com/…/…egerbetrieb-Ausf-vertikal.html Do you know any other suppliers or offers? btw.: I have an offer of about 2,000,-EUR (material ink. Einbau). Is that realistic?

  • 335i or F01 730d

    Hello together, I had to get an E92 335i before the end of the year (N55 engine). Now my father is also there without a car, since I still live at Hotel Mama at 22 and it will be about 3 years now I also in the question whether it should be a 335i or a 730d f01. Why? – I want my father also to have a lower seat and the car to move as soon as he needs it. That’s why a 7 would be really cool, because I really like the F01, but also a 335i a dream car would be the price range is very close both cars between 20- 23.000€. Which of the cars has a higher maintenance? I earn about 1800€ net + 450€ by the way. (sparted would be about 70% of the purchase price) The reason is simply that I somehow also want my father to drive a regular car if he needs it.

    Moin, with an e38 730 I just read out the error here, what does the electrician think about it? Lighting only does the DSC lamp. Cable breakage, control unit or a component broken?

  • 740d xDrive with mixed tyres

    Hello, now that I’ve fallen on my nose with my wheel change, I’d be interested in how other 7xDrive drivers can handle mixed tires. I had bought the M double spokes 303 in 20 inches for my 740d xDrive and was so naive to believe that I could have any tires fitted with the corresponding specification (size, width, carrying load), in my special case a Continental Sport Contact 5P without ROF and with MO marking. Unfortunately, I had to find out very quickly that my 7s is not compatible with every tire model or even can be driven by two special tires. BMW recommends in the dimension 245/40 R20 front and 275/35 R20 back either the Pirelli P Zero or the Goodyear Excellence, both with ROF and star marking. I’m not sure if I should do another tyre test on these rims. I’m afraid that it won’t work again and I’ve wasted a lot of money again. On the other hand, you can order this rim from the factory, so they should work in every case. How are your Drive Mixing Greetings and X Drive?
