  • ride new winter tire set for one year (also in summer)

    Hello everyone, have the opportunity to rent a car over factory leasing for a year. Big disadvantage: you can tire the car only four compartments so either summer or winter tires Only summer tires I can exclude because I am dependent on my car and the winter here is significantly more severe than in the big city. Now to the actual question: I got the car in March with winter tires and then have it one year. Drive about 25000 km per year. can this be rich with normal driving methods because winter tires are driven much faster in summer? Wouldn’t like to ride the winter with the driven. Of course it would be better if I could rent now and start with fresh winter tires in winter and start with slightly driven winter tires in summer. I know everyone has a different way of driving but maybe there are a few who have done this already. Thanks in advance

  • Stored summer tires disappeared from merchants. What to do?

    Hello board, am new here. Last year I had my summer tires stored with my dealer for the first time in autumn (GTC 17″ rims). Last Friday I wanted to have my summer tires installed and take my winter tires right away because I will change the next weeks anyway. After the information that my front brake discs and brake blocks have to be renewed, I had it done. The company manager said that my set of summer ice creams would have disappeared without a trace. According to his statement from today’s noon, he would not have found a solution yet. He offered me to put similar rims on it now so that I don’t have to drive around with my winter tire until my rims are found. Now I have just thought that the car dealership might take a long time before I finally have my rims again. How long do you have to wait for a replacement or what kind of Mögl would be great if one of you could help me. Greetings

  • Tires slipping on the rim?!

    Hi people, I’ve had the last one every now and then when braking with my Opel Vectra B a rather uneven brake (almost a stuttering) which became worse and worse the last days. When I was at the tank today to refuel air, much to me on which the valves were not there where they should be. But a few centimeters further had slipped so the valves had already folded off. Since I already put on winter tires soon I want to ask if the summer tires now any he could be damaged and should I have the tires restocked before winter?

  • Can I use these tires?

    I’m looking for winter tyres for my new Hyundai i40. In the registration certificate is the size 205/60R16. I think that’s the minimum size. I wanted to order tyres now via reifen.com. I only search for tyres and give my vehicle data will show me 3 sizes: 205/60R16 215/50R17 225/45R18 If I now go through complete wheels, enter my HSN and TSN and choose a 16 inch rim, I have 5 different 16 inch sizes to choose from, among others auc h 205/55R16. I would still have this size from my old car in the garage, can I now also use this tire or is this an indicator error on the reifen.com page?

  • What is the quietest winter tire in 205/60 R16 92H for Mercedes E-Class ?

    Hello…. Don’t come around to buy me some new winter tires. The Conti raised up at the time are 6 years old and have to go down. The driving comfort is important to me with the New Pneus. So you should achieve an extremely low indoor noise. According to your own experience, Conti will be louder already after 3 years. Dunlop Winter Sport 3D I had on my old E-Class already after 2 years became noticeably audible. I had the quietest winter tire so far on the C-Class, n like the Pirelli Sottozero. But it had modest characteristics in the snow. What can you recommend? A nice weekend…

  • Enormous loss of value F12 650i Cabrio

    Today I had my 650i convertible F12 rated at the friendly one. The reason was that my lease will soon expire and I was thinking about a takeover against cash payment. And in doing so, depending on how you can see it, a very good offer received. The car is from 3/11 and was leased by me in 6/12 with 14000km for 27 months. Black, bright interior equipment, many nice extras NP about 125000.-. I leased the car 6/12 with a price of 79000.- 15000km p.a and about 1000.-Brutto pro This means that I can take over the vehicle with guarantee, 3.5years old with 50000km for about 50000.-. In other words, the car is worth only about 40% of the list price after 3 years. I would not have expected that. There are certainly few buyers who pay such a car cash. Most vehicles in this class are certainly leased. For mi As a one-man company it is definitely certain that I will never buy a new car in this class. Vehicles in this class should be 1.5-2 years old before I think about leasing or buying. So the new M4/M4 convertible for the next two years has been done for me for the first time. Either I buy my 650i for about 50000.- from the leasing now, find me a nice one to two-year old M6 for 80-90000.- or it will be a 997 Turbo from 2011/991S from 2012.

  • Guarantee/deficit

    Hello guys, I’m new here and I’m not sure if the question fits here, so sorry already. So, I’m a car dealer and I sold a car to a private man, I told him that the car has temporarily power failures and had, which is possibly due to turbocharger damage or more, which was not checked. It was recorded in the contracts and signed by the buyer. Now exactly after 5 months and 22 days I get mail from the lawyer the he wants to claim his warranty claims/deficit liability. (because of the known problems, performance failures etc., the turbo should come new, exhaust manifolds etc.) The papers are with the lawyer nevertheless wanted to hear from you and your experiences how such something is treated. Thank you already.

  • Discounts on 650 i Cabrio used cars via BMW AG

    Hello BMW-Fangemeinde, looking for a very well preserved 650 i convertible. The NP for a car was around 142,000 €. After about 12-16 months with about 16,000 KM this vehicle was sold with about 45% discount via a BMW dealer. Unfortunately not to me. According to the salesman the head of the branch had bought this cheaply through the BMW management. It would not be a BuyBack vehicle. Who knows about the purchase – or sales procedure. Where there is the most discount e? Where can I buy such vehicles cheaply? Only about Haendler? Annual car, factory equipment etc. pp., since the new car with this price of 142,000 euros and a discount – so far of 14 percent is still too expensive for me, or the car is not worth it. Please only sound answers to this! Thank you, as always in advance for the quick answer here in the forum.

  • Wants to buy me a 6er

    Hello BMW fans, I’ve been through with my driver’s license for a few weeks and I want a nice car. It took me a while to decide for a BMW. First I actually wanted a Mercedes CLS but then I thought that maybe it’s too big for the beginning. That’s why I’m now thinking about whether it’s a 630 or a 650. When I drove with the 760Li from my father I didn’t really have a test with the performance of the car. leme. At first I never drove faster than 160km/h, because my father didn’t allow me to do that. That didn’t really bother me either. Meanwhile I also drove a few times 270km/h and I’m still alive and he meant I didn’t do that bad. That’s why he allowed me to do the 6th. Now to the question: Has anyone had similar experiences? Should I buy the 630 rather, it might not be as dangerous as the 650 What do you think?

  • >Buy car battery for Nissan Micra K11<

    Hello to the motor talk round! Unfortunately, my installed Bosch car battery has today “joyed” (the car doesn’t start anymore, electronics don’t make any noises) and I would like to save a few euros, like to make the battery change itself. Unfortunately, there is a large selection of car batteries for the Nissan Micra K11, so I find it hard to choose or I don’t know which one fits the car at all. Does anyone like to help me with the jumps? any support. LG Shinbo87
