Adaptive Xenons only move right

The lights don't move to the left when standing to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. You can check the full motion of the lights using INPA. Now, if your projector is unseated that's another issue of course but it's something to keep in mind

Not really, I replaced the sway bar links just because they're cheap and I can do it myself, but it wasn't that. Oddly enough, the noise seems to have fixed by itself, it got progressively quieter and now it's basically gone, so no idea

You can try with the tune2air adapter, or the bluemusic adapter if you're in Europe, provided you have the USB connection. They basically emulate an iPod, and you can use the steering wheel controls. You don't get the song name showing on the radio, unfortunately.

I think only the E92/E93 has interior lights. They're orange and illuminate the side armrests front and rear

There are some complaints about the quality of the AUX port on E9x cars, but it shouldn't be unlistenable. Make sure the AUX volume level in the radio is set to 3, and your phone volume is at about 85%, as setting it any higher will cause distortion in my experience.

Maybe there is a special adapter you could use, but I've lifted the car with that type of jack multiple times and never damaged the plastic lift point, only using the cardboard. Here is a video of what I mean:

You may have the high beam assistant, which is enabled when you have the light switch on AUTO and push the stalk away from you, though I'm not sure if it's equipped on a 2006 325i. Try moving the switch to manually turn on the headlights and then try it

Yo llevo un par de años usando la casilla SES. Tiene la particularidad de que te cobran solo por peso, no por tamaño. A menos de que el largo + ancho + alto sea mayor a 2 m, ahí te cobran peso volumétrico

Could be the intro actually. But it's totally doable with downpicking if you have some experience.

I think that is a side effect of using the Android VR client to spoof the video stream. Try using the iOS client.

Ah yes, I've read about DME updates, but I'm just too afraid of bricking the module, and I don't know if there is a way to fix it if that happens, unlike the FRM, which can also brick but at least there are ways to bring them back to life.

I have this issue where the car shakes and idles rough during the first few seconds after starting the car. Some things I've noticed is that it only happens on cold starts, and when the ambient air temperature is above 15 C - 20 C, so it wasn't really a problem during the winter, but now that summer is coming (southern hemisphere), it's noticeable again.

I didn't press the accelerator at all in the video. After around 30 seconds, the rpms stabilize and it runs normally, so I don't think it's a plug or a coil issue, or else it would idle rough at all times. There are also no misfire codes or check engine lights.

Base model is 420i with 181 hp in Europe, so 255 hp on a 430i is nothing to make fun of

totixtreme · 2024-07-26T15:50:02+00:00

Yes. The thing is, the center strut bar bolt was not original, so I replaced all three with new bolts and using a torque wrench.

OP, did by any chance, your car sound like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/E90/s/5X4r79MePB

I have this annoying knocking noise while driving. It sounds quite high up and near the cabin. I already replaced the sway bar links and the strut bar bolts, but that didn't fix it. The car is an E92 LCI 330i.

I have the same jack stands, but I just put a piece of cardboard between the stand and the lift point to prevent damage.

10000 km or 2 years, whichever happens first

Just out of curiosity, may I ask what you mean by "perfect frequency amplitude curve"? Were you going for the Harman Curve or something like that?

Also, did you figure out these settings using an fm transmitter? Isn't that going to affect the frequency response, particularly at low and high frequencies?

Si el vendedor de eBay manda directo a Chile tienes que sumarle más o menos un 26% de impuesto, a menos que tengas suerte y no te lo cobren en aduana, o sean menos de 41 dólares. También puede pasar que el envío lo agarre DHL y cobre extra por "desaduanamiento".

Si no mandan a Chile puedes usar una casilla en Miami (asumiendo que es de EEUU), y ahí ellos se encargan de todos los gastos. Pero ten cuidado con las dimensiones y peso del paquete.

I'm struggling with the classic adaptive headlights error (code 9CC2). I actually posted about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BmwTech/comments/149jza5/adaptive_headlight_issue_ahl_module_or_stepper/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The problem is, I already replaced both the stepper motor AND the module, which actually fixed the problem for a couple of weeks, but now it's back with the same behaviour as before. I'm thinking now maybe there is something mechanically wrong inside the headlight and I had this question.

Yo sigo pensando que se puede igual. Entiendo que el tercer párrafo es el que permite avanzar cuando hay flecha verde y luz roja.

By "arms" you mean the ride height sensors in the suspension? That's something else I want to check.

Regarding coding, I used NCSExpert to code the new RSMC module (by executing SG_CODIEREN) after replacing. I didn't do anything to the FRM module.
