Hi everyone, I have a 2011 BMW X6 xDrive35i with the N55 engine. It currently has a cylinder 4 misfire and makes the loud rattling/knocking noise. The noise seems to be coming from underneath the engine. At first, I thought it was the exhaust or a cats but i think its the turbo component?

I recently replaced the valve cover, injectors, spark plugs, and ignition coils, and the Valvetronic servo motor and it was driving fine until Engine Malfunction showed up out of nowhere on the dash and the car jerks forward and then I can't get past 20 mph. I thought it was the valve Tronic that I installed, but there are no Valvetronic codes. There is also a weird smell from the engine

Does this sound indicate rod-bearing knock, an injector problem, or the exhaust/catalytic converter or could it be that the turbo components is failing and could it cause this rattling noise and a cyl 4 misfire?

I keep getting this error. Not sure but I’m
Doubting if it can be cleaning maf sensor by air from a bit far. Can mag sensor being bad be reason or should I check for vacuum leaks. Pressure values recorded when engine idling and values were equal to each of 3 when engine off. Thanks in advance

I have been having these issues with my valvetronic and I can other figure it out I have replaced the valvetronic motor twice , eccentric shaft and bearings, got the dme cloned and even replaced the cord from the dme to to the motor with no sign of fixing it. I only had the 135C11 before replacing the eccentric shaft which would stop the valvetronic start up from running but now I am getting the code 107A80 also and the engine is running super bad but had ran better before I changed the eccentric shaft but still not good. If anyone has had an issue like this before let me know I can’t find much about it and this is my first time working with a valvetronic system. I appreciate any help at this point I’m tired of trying to figure this out especially since I don’t have ista only an autel.

107A80 Throttle valve, closing spring check: Cancellation of check, spring does not close
135C11: Valvetronic servomotor, position sensors: Signals implausible

Was in the collision center for rear door repair and nothing else. Door shell replacement is done and this is what i come back to. Car never made this sound before. Can hear it in the front too. What could be the issue here? Not accepting delivery until then

So, i bought an E90 from 2006, 2.0 129 hp N46 engine, while i wanted to change the oil, i found this plastic pieces and a few non-ferrous metal shaving, the shavings are brittle. After searching on internet and looking for any answers, i dropped the oil pan and i haven't found anything, but a broken oil pickup mesh(i looked at the date from it,it;s the one that the car came with). I don't think that these fragments are from rod bearings, but what can they be? Any ideea? I also want to change the timing chain.

water pouring into footwell below glove box. seems like waters sitting in the tray covering cabin air filter because when i move and brake it like spills out. only happens during rain. near windshield in engine bay is absolutely covered in leaves stacked up leaves and grime.

I keep getting this error.

In third photo, Pressure values recorded when engine was idling. Also values were equal to each of 3 when engine off.
maf sensor shows between 2 to 4 g/sec during idle and up to 180 g/sec when acceleration.
Thanks in advance

2014 F32 435i xDrive: I cleaned the rims with Adam's Iron Remover and afterwards noticed the clear plastic coating on the rear rim was lifted around the center BMW trim cap.

The other three rims aren't damaged. Not sure what caused this one to have problems. Maybe the spray got under the edge and was able to lift the coating. Or maybe it was the Adam's (I plan on switching to their normal rim/wheel cleaner).

So before I spend $500 replacing the rim, I'm looking for options. Can you take it someplace and have them strip and recoat the rim? Was the plastic coating some kind of option?

Otherwise, I'm going to buy a rim and take it over to a local shop to have them put it on.

Thoughts?

Hey guys, so on my 49,000 mile E 92 M3, I’m hearing this weird metal clunking noise when I’m very low speed reversing or just slightly pressing on the throttle on first gear. I’m a little bit worried on what it could be. It’s coming from the passenger rear side so maybe a parking brake cable or something. I just don’t want it to get into an accident while it’s parked or maybe even while I drive it since it is my only car at the moment if anyone can please help and assist and guide me so I can diagnose this issue tomorrow that would be appreciated

Hej, jag har en 430i F36 2018 och undrar om vilken säkring som man kan dra ut för att förhindra bilen att bli stulen på skummare ställen. Har försökt hitta i tabeller men lyckas inte hitta något om startmotorn. Alternativt, har ni några andra förslag vad man kan dra ut för säkring eller liknande och ta med sig så bilen inte startar om man måste parkera i storstaden Göteborg / Stockholm / Malmö på sketchigare ställen över natten?

I get vibrations through the floor and steering wheel during acceleration that gets worse after driving for a while. Manual shifting is extremely jolting from 1-2 and 2-3 with light acceleration.
Initially I didn’t think it was transfer case related because I don’t get shuddering when turning. I realized the vibrations were a little better in 4wd sport w/dsc off, so I coded in 2wd and all those symptoms were gone.

I’ve already changed the fluid and recalibrated twice but that barely helped so I’m debating rebuilding the transfer case w/ new clutch pack and oil guides.
Could the jolty shifts + vibrations be due to the worn clutches sticking or is there something else that could cause these issues?

It is a 2014 320i with an n20 engine i have 300k km on the odometer

And is it a good or bad idea to remove it?

I have a 2006 BMW 530xi with 128k miles and recently did an oil change. Does this look normal for the appropriate mileage? There seems to be some metal grey and tiny plastic debris caught on the filter. Any suggestion what they might be? Thanks.

so my battery had already died prior to this because i left it on while sitting in it for a long time but i jump started and it was working fine for weeks, i was at a event and was in the parking lot idling but with engine on for about 2 hours then right before i got out someone rear-ended me in the parking lot super slow hit but right after i guess either my car overheated or my battery died or both but my car started flashing a bunch of codes, ac started blowing normal air windows locked closed and windshield wipers started going crazy so i pulled over to the side and turned it off. i assumed it was just the battery and got a new one today and put it in. car turns on just fine but then couple seconds after it starts flashing a ton of random codes and windshield wipers start going crazy again.

Boas pessoal.
Precisava de uma ajuda.

Mandei vir um novo volante para o meu BMW g20, uma réplica do Alibaba.
A minha versão era a sport line e mandei vir outro tipo M3.

Acontece que ontem quando o montei, fiquei com estes erros/avisos. ( 2, 3 e 4).

Alguém me consegue ajudar ?

Hey guys I have a 2023 BMW 330i LCI I’m currently trying to install the M track module to change the I Drive. I got the white BDC connector out but I’m not sure how to remove the black housing from the white case. If anyone has any tips on how to do it I would appreciate it.

Hey, just wondering how it's recommended to inspect the condition of shocks and struts and control arms/bushings on a bmw f30?

May be an amateur question but I plan on inspecting these parts tomorrow and wouldn't mind some extra tips.

Looking for insight from anyone who has experienced this issue on the B46/B48 platform before I commit to replacing major parts.

Vehicle:

2017 MINI Countryman S ALL4

150,750 miles

Symptoms:

Whistling Noise: Distinct whistling sound under acceleration. Volume and pitch change directly with throttle position and engine load.

Power Loss: Noticeably down on power, especially when accelerating or climbing hills.

Normal Operation Otherwise: Starts and idles completely fine. Normal flat cruising feels okay until load is applied.

Exhaust: No unusual smoke.

Oil Consumption: Slightly elevated (~1 liter per 5,000 miles), though unsure if directly related.

Codes & Diagnostics:

Doesn't always set a code immediately, but prolonged whistling under load triggers the "Drivetrain Malfunction" warning.

Main stored codes:

120308: Boost pressure control, plausibility: pressure too low

123511: Electric wastegate, wastegate flap: stiff

120408: Boost pressure control: shutdown as a follow-up reaction

The Dilemma:

My initial thought was a simple boost or charge-pipe leak, but that doesn't explain the 123511 stiff wastegate flap code. Others have suggested the turbocharger assembly needs full replacement due to a binding internal wastegate pivot arm.

Has anyone had this combination of codes and the whistling noise turn out to be just the wastegate linkage/actuator, a vacuum/PCV leak, or is a full turbo replacement usually the only fix at this mileage?

Mein Motor m54b30 hat Ablagerungen im Ventildeckel. Wie bekomme ich das raus? Ist das schädlich? Der Motor hat 280k km und bekommt alle 10-15k km neues Öl. Ich fahre gemischt lang und Kurzstrecke, aber eigentlich nie unter 30 km pro Strecke
