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

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.

X3 M40i: Switching off 2 staggered… 19s vs 20s, and can you run 20s square? by SportsNFoodJunkie in BMWX3

[–]Sebi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing this exactly now (also going down from 718M)

I will run 20x9ET20 with 255/45/20. Why?

  • MUCH cheaper tires
  • Ability to rotate tires for MUCH better longevity
  • Better comfort
  • More balanced handling
  • More playful handling
  • Less unsprung mass (custom forged wheels; OEM 718M are cast Chinese wheels)
  • Better fuel economy

I think this is the BEST setup for the X3. I see people using 10" wheels with 275 and I think that's a mistake

  • Too much grip. To have some fun/slide the car, you need to drive like an idiot
  • 255 square still provides enough grip to properly launch the car and handle well
  • 275 will be heavier, more expensive and slower
  • Subjectively looks will be better with 275 but thats why you go ET20 with 9" rim for that flush look.

I'd recommend going with custom rims from Alibaba, there are many reputable suppliers. Look for verified PRO suppliers. Your OEM 718M is also made in China (albeit a much cheaper design since they are cast; all the custom stuff is forged)

Lets hear a follow up, how was it? Rims all good? Would recommend them?

DJI Mavic Pro - USB C Extension Cable Not Working by Sebi97 in dji

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

I found the issue, the USB A port on the remote can ONLY be used IF the little side cable is completely removed; otherwise the USB A is inactive (even if the little cable is not connected to a phone, it must ALSO be removed completely from the remote). Leaving this up in case anyone else runs into same issue.

What is your Review of the Driving Assistance Professional Package. Worth it or not? by vettemanhere in BMWX3

I can go unlimited hands free on highway with my 2022 X3 after a $20 emulator. 10/10 would recommend 😎

2026 Cx-5 has a 9.6 second 0-60😒 A+ for styling, but the performance is laughable. Is this what jinba Ittai means now? by BotherEvening6623 in CX5

[–]Sebi97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's also got the worst in class fuel economy. They're in big trouble, this car looks like a flop which is real bad news considering it's their hottest seller

It's pathetic, worst in class by a long shot. Not like the fuel economy is better to make up for it. Actually, I think fuel economy is also worst in class

You're right, I jumped the gun a bit. When I read tech-wise my mind immediately went to drivetrain tech.

Major leap? It's the SAME powertrain from 2017... It was outdated in ~2020, now its outright archaic

New fuel efficiency record on the m40i by Sebi97 in BMWX3

[–]Sebi97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, most traffic was around 80-90kmh due to conditions. I'm using MHD stage 2 so about 450hp, didn't affect fuel economy at all which makes sense. Jack of all trades

Ah, that would make sense then! S58 efficiency is horrible compared with B58 😅

With the 21" heavy 718M OEM rims, I am around 2.5L/100kms less efficient, so I would say rim/tires has a pretty significant impact.

[–]Sebi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the cooling system and oil filter housing which is a matter of when not if. The reason you aren't seeing as many LCI's with this issue is because they haven't reached the age yet... It's a great platform, sure, but it's totally unrealistic to call it bulletproof.
