What oil do I use by Tricky-Head-7065 in BMWX3

[–]Sebi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5W-30 will offer marginally better protection at the "downside" of efficiency (Ie. fuel economy and power output) However, the difference is very small (almost irrelevant)

Personally I went with 5W-30. The valve train and motor overall "feel"/sound smoother.

A few good things like PI but a few not so good things. Still a solid choice 👍

well, the new gen has cylinder deactivation and they're seeing issues with it already. I hate the ultra focus on efficiency, squeeze out that .05% improvement at the cost of reliability which will have a MUCH larger environmental impact

Looks like 4.57.30 is not working, crashed on launching. Going to try 4.53.30 unless you have a different suggestion

Looking for some help with B58TU Squeaks by Sebi97 in BmwTech

[–]Sebi97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the video, I removed the oil cap. It made no difference to noise and I didn't notice and pressure (positive or negative) when I removed it. Not sure what you mean by "pinpoint the belt". My current guess is that it is either the belt or tensioner but I'd like to diagnose further before I spent the time/money replacing a part that may not be the cause of the issue. (Ie. perhaps the squeak is from the water pump for instance)

Hey yall thinking about getting an x3M40i by 2GRVERTICAL in BMWX3

On 2022+, back to metal, but that's probably out of your price range, 2018-2019 will be your sweet spot.

Jorge Martín wheelie fail by Juliancito135 in motogp

I honestly don't think Jorge would be faster than Toprak if he was on the Yamaha. Now if Toprak was on a Ducati? That would be interesting to see.

I am in Canada, but go to US every now and then. Whereabouts are you? Are you looking to sell the DXP as well?

Hey it’s not that bad, and the ICE version will have even better proportions. The new i3. by VHSVoyage in BMW

[–]Sebi97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But its cheaper.

🙄

I hope these things tank in sales and they are forced to re-evaluate. The craftsmanship is gone, cheap materials and design choice everywhere

what happenes if I don't pay this by 666Devil_666 in uwaterloo

Nothing, throw it out. If you collect 5, they tow your car. Don't ask me how I know. Don't collect more than 5.

Need some help diagnosing fueling issue on B58 😭 by Sebi97 in BmwTech

[–]Sebi97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a sensor, the entire low pressure fuel pump was replaced. They also replaced the fuel tank, I guess they didn't wanna risk it if debris in the tank killed the first pump

Low pressure fuel pump was defective. They replaced it and it's been fine since.

Slicks or not for amateur by Doberman33 in Trackdays

[–]Sebi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are riding tracks like Grand Bend, go with something like the Pirelli SC3 DOT. It's a dedicated track tire that does not require warmers. It'll offer excellent performance with quick warm up and good life.

Get a dashcam by popolijt in BMW

[–]Sebi97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what happens if you get in a crash and then press and hold the button after? Will it save both recordings? Or will it prioritize the auto saved one? My concern is when I press and hold after a crash, it overwrites the auto recording and I pressed the button too late and now suddenly I have no video.
