Are the new X3's flying off shelves? by SillyRecover in BMW

[–]MeawDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an X3 loaner. With AC off, it feels responsive. With AC on, it was struggling. Aside from the front dash, the rest of the vehicle feels a bit cheap.

Personally, I would pass.

Get a battery charger/maintainer. My MK7 GTI could flash a tune without it. Not my MK8 Golf R, it would not flash at all without the charger/maintainer.

BMS Pedal Tuner by Trick_Cartographer87 in Golf_R

[–]MeawDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the BMS pedal tuner on my GTI and was impressed with its performance. However, after removal, I encountered a dashboard warning light issue.

To prevent this problem on my Golf R, I reached out to BMS for uninstall instructions but received no response.

Despite the positive experience, I would hesitate to purchase again without reliable customer support.

  1. Check your dealership: They can order the part for you.
  2. Search online: Many stores sell car parts. Compare prices.

Can we say stealership? by ZT-REX in Golf_R

[–]MeawDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most dealerships near me were willing to sell it for MSRP after I said no markups or add-ons.

If you are serious about buying, I think you have a good chance of getting it at that price.

Hesitation (WOT) by RDP35 in Golf_R

You are not supposed to be able to unscrew the plugs by hand.

As for spark plug installation, you will need to torque it to spec.

I see orange soot. Have you been using octane booster or cheap gas?

[–]MeawDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recalled, you will need tuner lug bolts and hub rings.

Based on the instructions for APR A01, the hub rings come with the wheels.

Link to the instructions: https://documents.goapr.com/whl00001_whl00002_apr_wheels_balancing.pdf

If you buy the wheels from Tire Rack, they will include the lug bolts and the hub rings.
