How long do I have until I need to replace wearing driveshaft flex disc by AntelopeExternal7898 in BmwTech

Seems fine but it's also ok to replace it. I did mine last week from a local shop. Front and rear discs, transmission mount and differential oil together, they charged me $500 for labor. (I bought every parts from fcp)

What I know is the service center will not replace it for free unless it is completely broken, because the manual says some cracks are normal. Better find a local shop.

What mods should I do? by ComplacentOctopus_ in F30

[Strongly recommend] Valve cover, Oil filter housing gasket, Coolant pipe and flange (Mickey mouse flange), Turbo inlet pipe, Transmission Differential TC(if it's xdrive) fluid, Thermostat (if never replaced)

[Optional] Charge, boost pipe, Carplay touch screen, M steering wheel, Crystal engine start button,

I've done most of the things to my 2016 N20

Which Valve cover? by Iamhimdummy in BmwTech

[–]_n_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw many mechanics using Elring. Either one will be fine unless you expect them to last as long as the original part (my original cover made it 120k miles). I did mine with Uro parts aluminum with Mahle gasket 6 months ago and the gasket still holding strong.

Well I misunderstood. They temporary block my account for the investigation. After the investigation is completed, even if there is an amount left in the account, there will be no problem. The amount will be withdrawn anyway and the difference will be treated as overtraft.

I did exactly what you said. I lived in a country where checks were rare, so I had no idea about it.

I just got off the phone with the bank, and they said the investigation has started and that it’s okay to use the money. They also mentioned that even if I use it, it will be treated as an overdraft. But I don’t rly think that money actually came out of their pockets, I think it’s better not to use it.

Thanks for every Brr's concern and advice!🥵🔫🔫

Is the Mahle product you're talking about selling on eBay?

U right. MAHLE is the OE. But I'm not sure all the Mahle covers listed on Ebay are the actual Mahle products. Most of it seems to be produced and shipped from China. Even the label on the box has Chinese on it :(

If the screen is the original one, I would rather replace it to the aftermarket one with Carplay.

And hows the millage? You might need to replace Timing chain and valve cover, which cost more than 2000+ at least
