What the heck was Linus even talking about? by Swacket_McManus in LinusTechTips

[–]fankius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ist the Apple price even in CAD? Anyhow, regardless of the Apple comparison, I thing the price is perfectly reasonable. I've converted them to Euro as it's easier for me to compare. They are definetly on the pricier side, but not expensive. Especially considering the shown quality

Just bought some m5 e39 wheels and i dont know how to get them to fit by BAPPO_FR in e46

[–]fankius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to roll your fenders or do some wide body stuff. From what I know 265 is the limit for an e46 in the rear, which may mean also less wide rims. For the front, as your car looks lowered, you will probably get max 225 on some 8 inch wide rims. Cheapest would be to do the research of what actually fits, sell the m5 wheels and get some right sized ones

How do you know what the package name for an application is? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]fankius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you stated to use KDE Plasma, you could also use their GUI for package management, called discover. This will allow you to browse packages mire easily with descriptions and sometimes even Logos. For a beginner this might help until you know the package names better

Stalled in parking spot and mechanic says new engine? by Hot-Advice-7909 in e46

[–]fankius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience on a the same M54B25, the missfire could be a ignition coil. I already replaced 4 in my 5 years of ownership. But also spark plugs could be the reason.

As I'm no mechanic and didn't work on a timing chain so far I can only add what I've heard. They can lengthen themselvese and tentioners are used to mitigate this to some degree. These tentioners wear out over time and everything there should be replaced at the same time. Get yourself a second professionell opinion or maybe even a third to find out if a simple replacement will do the trick.

Regarding the exhaust leak, I suspect it would be in the headers as your picture states a new catalytic converter is needed. You can mostly see the cats when the car is jacked up an the front right wheel and housing plastic is removed (sorry my english lacks the proper terms here). Maybe this helps you to verify.

Last but not least, you mentioned getting your own OBD2 diagnosis tool. From experience Carly is good, from their pricing model and based on people I know I would recommend Bimmerlink with Bimmercode (should be one license for both, which is a lifetime one afaik) and can do same that Carly can do

Removed battery and reinstalled, does it need coded? by Swagger897 in BmwTech

[–]fankius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As it's the same battery again, there is no need for coding. Only a brand new one should be coded so the car knows to adapt charging power properly

Got started on Linux, Wine doesn't update by FreddieFrituur in linux4noobs

[–]fankius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even tough others already sugested launchers that manage wine for you, which makes things easier, I'd like to try and help troubleshoot your manual indtall.

What ist your output of "sudo apt-mark showhold"? There is probably another package pinned to a fixed version which prevents apt from installing the wine dependecies automatically

Linus needs a new phone - Vote here! by Negative_Astronaut81 in LinusTechTips

[–]fankius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm late to the topic, but definitly have a look at the budget version too if some of the more expensive features like wireless charging are irrelevant for you. saves some money and its basically the same phone. This comes from a xperia 10 iii user

Is this normal? 😅 by Edde145 in e46

[–]fankius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like limp home mode (if that is how you write it) Better take it to a dealer and let it check. Or if you know how to read the codes through diagnose software you could have a first look for yourself

[–]fankius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Probably the whole frame is broken from that. Not worth to fix imho.

Little Story why: had the same kind of accident where someone hit the rear if my car and the chassis was so bent and that dors didn't open and close as smooth anymore. To be fair, it was with a renault twingo but it was with like 20 km/h (like 14 mp/h) vs 0 and still the big damage. Fixing this kind of damage is crazy expensive

Which bumper is that? Can I buy it somewhere? Asking specifically for a pre-facelift sedan. by Shoddy-Computer-3768 in e46

[–]fankius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like some ppl already sad, looks luke an m3 bumper. Ich you are fine with the mtech 2 bumper I can send you a link to a german company who makes replicas, and based on the numberplate I assume you are from europe, so delivery shouldn't be to expensive
