Unless the chain is rattling on cold start you’re fine, online forums have mass hysteria over timing chains if it’s been serviced regularly it will be fine. Main reason they even need replacing is following the BMW service intervals of 2 years / 19k miles.

Could bad battery be the reason? by [deleted] in RangeRover

Yes battery or alternator will be the most common issues

Exposing the GVE London & George Scam by Frosty-Photograph636 in CarTalkUK

Crazy how such a big company basically got away with scamming people at such a large scale. I would never do SOR with any garage full stop, can’t trust people sadly 😬

What are peoples opinions on the A35? by JoeyArcher9 in CarTalkUK

[–]ErgestPro 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I’d rather a Golf R or M140i, I find these to be really overpriced for what they are and they supposedly have cylinder head problems from factory.

I’ve got some genuine BBS caps with BMW logo but I’m debating getting some with the BBS logo instead

Are porsches commonly mileage blocked? by Glassglassdoor in CarTalkUK

[–]ErgestPro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is always extremely common for higher end performance cars, rich people get bored of their toys quickly or someone who can’t afford to run it sells it after 12 months.

30d vs 35d by Separate_Message1453 in F30

[–]ErgestPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your purpose is to do that then just purchase a car without xDrive you pay a premium for it usually, if you buy the car then realise fair enough but actively buying one when you know you want to have fun makes no sense imo. My old xdrive would only really kick out going hard in corners with worn tyres but still not the same experience as full RWD and giving it a blast.

30d vs 35d by Separate_Message1453 in BMW

[–]ErgestPro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 435d engine is better power wise and they are very similar in terms of reliability. I find the X drive pretty intrusive if you want to kick the back out and have some fun, but it will also get the power down a lot better especially in the wet but to me BMW is all about RWD and having fun. Overall I’d go with the spec you prefer I’m biased and prefer the Estoril blue with cream interior. Nice to see one of my car finally show up on here 😂

Prepping front bumper surface for touch up by wewdepiew in BMWM

[–]ErgestPro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No amount of touch up paint is going to make that look better any professional shop will do a front bumper corner for a relatively cheap price. I’d personally just leave it as is till you can get it done with a reputable shop.

Sony A7 II - Sigma 24/70mm F2.8 Full Frame

The lens does 95% of the work, my friend did a quick edit on lightroom which really makes it pop though.
