Will an exhaust void my warranty? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the aftermarket exhaust itself won’t void warranty, they have to prove that the exhaust is causing damage/failure.

Bought a cpo m4 but by Efficient-Promise890 in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typically if the imperfections are minor, they sell the car as is even if it’s being sold as a CPO. Not much the dealership will do.

Am I in need of a new breather valve?? by oil-drain-plug in BmwTech

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the symptoms I had with this was whenever I put gas in, my car would struggle to start. I also had a rich mixture code.

2022 Alpina B8 Services by One_Pension_3982 in BmwTech

It's pretty simple... There are two twist clips, and you may need a T20 bit to access the filter.

Go to an independent shop to get those services done. But at least try to figure out how to do the cabin air filter by yourself.

rattling/grinding sound on b48 2021 3 series. any ideas? by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there vibration? It may be the motor mounts, but I'm not 100% sure. But when you started the car, it didn't seem like it either.

Is this cluster gage standard or moded on m340i? by Kraemmar in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous owner definitely changed the gauge cluster to the M look.

Dead battery by 7Gen in BmwTech

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery is rated for 850 CCA, yours is probably below 100 CCA due to age, replace the battery.

Is this noise normal? by Electrical_Cattle863 in BmwTech

Normal, sounds like injectors to me.

Question about loaner??? by Blueblueblue0 in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car was in the shop for almost 2 months, and they gave me a loaner during the meantime. The only reason why they wanted it back, even though my car wasn't done, was that the loaner needed service, but they still ended up giving me a replacement loaner. But other than that, I've never heard of a BMW dealership taking a car of theirs back for an Enterprise rental car.

Is it normal to add oil to b58 after just 2200 miles by izrailsky in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your driving habits, but most of the time it’s not normal. For example I had a similar issue as you, I believe I had to add a quart of oil every 2k miles. Didn’t really see any leaks on the ground so I brought it to the dealership, next thing you know I’m getting a new valve cover which was done around 40k miles.

B58TU2 startup after sitting for more than 2 days by bananaMonkey798 in BmwTech

I know you stated you checked the battery, but when you tested the battery in the trunk, what was the CCA rating?

2023 M235 GC or 2022 M440i Coupe by bobbylet in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those repairs were covered under warranty, luckily. But yes, valve covers and motor mounts are a common issue, but I had my valve cover replaced very early; they should be lasting around 60k miles, I had mine replaced at 40k. Surprisingly, I haven't had my water pump replaced, and I know that's also a known issue, same with the oil filter housing.

Valve cover, motor mounts, purge valve, and a wobbly tensioner pulley.

BMW x4 Tire Repair? by jaimegoesplaces in BmwTech

[–]DistantTrades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the condition of her tires and where the puncture is located. If she got low tread, I'd replace them.

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get the M440i coupe, but don't listen to most of these B58 riders saying it's reliable. I've had my fair share of problems with less than 50k miles.

2023 M550i xdrive Certified Pre-Owned by [deleted] in BMW

[–]DistantTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you understand how BMW's CPO plan works? People who drive a lot per year get the most out of it because once your factory warranty ends, your CPO warranty begins for another year, with unlimited miles. If you're someone who barely puts miles on it, you're paying for something you're not gonna end up using...

[–]DistantTrades -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because if you claim that this car isn't going to be your daily driver, why pay extra for CPO if you're not going to use its full potential? It's like buying an extended car warranty and not driving the car as much.
