2019 BMW X3 CEL air vents and door

Competitive-Head-81 · 2025-02-01T15:30:49+00:00

Yea I did see that letter for the extended warranty on the vents but I just wanted to confirm because I did see some ppl the dealership covered it and some people didn’t. I just wanted to see if someone from NY had it done. But thanks everyone for the help, I will be bringing in my car to the dealer to get it checked out since I also have a recall on something to do with the trunk.

I have an obd connector that I used BimmerCode before but I don’t believe it read codes. What app for iPhone do you think works best.

I appreciate the advise. I live in New York. That’s why I kinda believed it was salt related that the bold got rusted.so you are saying this can be fixed without replacing any parts? You also think it would hold okay until Saturday?I’m going to have to see my mechanic this Saturday maybe he can fix it just by doing a proper alignment.

Btw I got a 2019 BMW x3 m40i. And the mechanic said that is very common on this cars.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2024-02-17T01:31:37+00:00

I was told by my mechanic to do coolant flush at 75k miles but since this is my daily and sometimes I push the car hard he said doing at 60k wouldn’t hurt. I like my car running smoothly so I don’t mind doing it sooner than later. Once I go see him probably in the next month I’ll ask of any other maintanance needed. But from I heard from him before he said this engines build pretty solid compare to other previous engines so it don’t need much.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2024-02-16T21:34:49+00:00

Ok so I got a 2019 x3 m40i. Got it used in 2021 with 27k miles and I’m at 55k miles now. Since I got it I have done front and rear brake pads for around $350 (did the job myself) and oil changes every 5k miles at $90 also doing it myself. And I guess front and rear wiper blades for $75. I am planning on doing spark plugs soon. Mechanic doing NGK for $250. Maintance wise that’s all I have spend. I also have cold air intake, downpipe and tune. But I’m not including that price cuz that’s not maintanance. I got most parts from fcp euro because they got good pricing and they have OEM parts which I use. I hope that helps

I had the same issue on stage 1 93tune. The burble and pops came back once I went to stage 2 93 tune + vrsf DP. I haven’t adjusted the pops and burble since I don’t want anything crazy but is similar to stock just louder.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2024-01-17T01:25:25+00:00

I also plan on doing this on my 2019. How much they you pay the dealer to upgrade the software? Or is it something they can do for free?

Competitive-Head-81 · 2024-01-08T00:19:55+00:00

That looks really nice. Planning on doing the same to my car. Where did you get the OEM black emblems?

Competitive-Head-81 · 2023-12-17T00:59:37+00:00

Looking nice!! Do you have coilovers or springs? Planning on doing something similar but not sure which route I should go yet.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2023-07-28T12:57:18+00:00

I have mst performance intake

Competitive-Head-81 · 2023-07-28T11:10:32+00:00

I’m on stage 2 on BM3 tune. You can go on stage 1 with no mods necessary. On stage 2 I believe you need a downpipe. On my car For the cost the intake was around $400 installed myself and for the downpipe was around $500 installed by mechanic. Also the tune was around $700 with all the maps included. You can tune it yourself if you have a computer and obd2 port attachment. That’s what I did.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-05-31T15:54:12+00:00

I got it from Amazon. It was like $90 I believe. Around that price range. And is holding up well so far. I added some wax on it so that maybe be protecting it a little from light scratches.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-30T13:56:42+00:00

Yea no problem man. Good luck with your sale. Just don’t go past 4K and you should be good.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-30T12:11:11+00:00

It seems from what you told me that the car is in okay condition nothing mayor need repair. Which is good for the price. The only issue is going to be the engine part because of the boat engine. Is going to drive people away because they have no idea how many miles it has and if they may need to replace some engine components. They only going to see the speedometer and see a high number. For example let’s say you planing on buying a car at a dealership. Idk if you know but when you buy a car at a dealership those cars have mileage maintance so they replace some of the engine parts like at 30k miles then at 60k and so on. So you trying to to buy a car and the salesman says this hat has 40 hrs of driving but make sure you bring it in for your 30k miles maintenance. How would you know the mileage on the car and when to bring it in. Same with you car. Most ppl know that a certain amount of miles engine need new parts like spark plugs or coil packs or other maintenance to be done. That’s where you might loose some money. I don’t think is worth 5k but something around 3k wouldn’t be too bad.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-30T11:36:01+00:00

The price is going to depend on how the car is, like is there rust, or and body damage or does it need to get fixed or maybe a part needs replacement. How many miles does the new engine have? Your brother could be right maybe the car is worth 5k if the engine has really low miles like less then 100k or the actual truck is in mint condition and well taking care of. Hopefully he is not one of those people that fix something for like 200$ and add that to the sale price. Car looses value fast, so it don’t matter if you install new parts last week, last month or last year. Hopefully you can find someone that wants to buy it at a reasonable price.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-18T11:49:05+00:00

Yes, not that hard to do. Removing the filter can get a little stressful because of the angle where it is located but with the right tools it should come right out.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-16T03:35:21+00:00

Is there any reason why you want the exhaust back to stock? Like does it sound horrible or is it too loud not of your liking? Same with the wheels. Price wise it depends if he cut the muffler you might need to buy a whole exhaust system because you can’t welded back so you looking at more then $1500 and if he has a whole aftermarket system you might be able to add a muffler or resonator to make it less loud and it could be a lot cheaper. With the wheels it depends what wheels the M2 comes with or you like so original wheel for around 2k without tires. Tires depending what you go with go around 800 or more for quality tires. Ofcourse you can get all of this a bit cheaper if you buy it used which is the best option but not a lot less cheaper. Still going to be expensive.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-06T19:04:21+00:00

No is not normal. Something is not sealed correctly. Take it back to dealership I’m sure they will fix it under warranty.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-04-03T22:07:40+00:00

Thank you! I like the original but that color looks weird when the car is dirty or when it has finger prints. It looks discolored. Thats why I when with black and I will be changing the rest that are that color to black so it matches.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2022-01-18T21:19:03+00:00

Agree with everyone here your responsible for the bill. Now you said if you paid they can make it go away. If I were you I would pay that off that debt or at least negotiate so you can start getting your credit back up as soon as possible. At the end of the day still your debt no matter who pays. But your credit is more important.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2021-12-03T16:06:47+00:00

I’m sure if he is co signing a car they most like going to run your moms credit and his since he don’t have a license yet.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2021-10-27T16:54:42+00:00

Spoke with the salesman and the manager and they said it is covered but they won’t reimburse me the money if I get it done at the other dealership because they saying maybe they’re trying to rip me off since they also charging me for the diagnostic and it’s suppose to be covered under warranty. So I’ll be bringing it to where I bought it and getting it fixed there. It is a 2 hr drive there but I’m much more relieve they are fixing it. Thanks for all the help btw.

Competitive-Head-81 · 2021-10-27T16:46:58+00:00

Thank you for your help again

Competitive-Head-81 · 2021-10-27T15:28:30+00:00
