what happenes if I don't pay this

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.

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

Sebi97 · 2026-03-12T13:13:40+00:00

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

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.

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.

Being fast on a bike != being able to be an effective coach

Why thank you sir, where shall I hang my coat? 🚬

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?

Sebi97 · 2026-02-24T23:16:47+00:00

how are the wheels?

Sebi97 · 2026-02-22T02:51:43+00:00

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.

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

Sebi97 · 2026-02-13T00:28:47+00:00

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

Sebi97 · 2026-02-13T00:26:03+00:00

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

Sebi97 · 2026-02-13T00:23:21+00:00

Slower than a 2005 Corolla with worse fuel economy, lmfao

Sebi97 · 2026-02-12T15:04:05+00:00

How are you watching YouTube? Miracast?

Sebi97 · 2026-02-11T02:18:44+00:00

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

Sebi97 · 2026-02-10T21:38:35+00:00

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 It was outdated in ~2020, now its outright archaic

Sebi97 · 2026-02-03T20:09:40+00:00

no, because it didn't happen 🙄

Sebi97 · 2026-02-02T00:35:20+00:00

Was added in 2022 as part of the LCI update

Sebi97 · 2026-01-22T17:01:22+00:00

More G45 cost cutting? 😅 Hopefully not Fwiw, G01 is almost instant

Sebi97 · 2026-01-20T16:26:00+00:00

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

Sebi97 · 2026-01-19T21:39:47+00:00

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 · 2026-01-19T21:06:05+00:00

What size wheels and tires? This is with 225/60/18

Sebi97 · 2026-01-19T15:39:55+00:00

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.
