2018 F36 430i, 99k miles. Just had the transmission drain+fill plus pan/filter done under 800 miles ago. The car has an unknown amount of previous owners so I decided to reset the transmission adaptations, I was told the first couple drives would feel rough, but honestly felt not much different.
The picture is my transmission adaptions before reset
Got my transmission fluid replaced on my zf8, is there anywhere on the pan that it says the manufacturing date, I’m not the original owner so I’m curious if previous owner had done it before too.
F36 B48. Got my turbo coolant feed and return o rings done about 2 weeks ago. They were leaking very bad (last photo). It’s been dry in the spot ever since the repair although today when I checked it looks a little bit wet. It did rain yesterday, so is this simply just a place where water runs down?
Needa get that top clip, can’t get the trim tool to go all the way in
I have all the clips on the bottom off but it dosent want to come off, help please
Granted this was the Land Rover/Jaguar dealership that sold me the car but still man! A plastic crush washer brooooo.
For context bought the car 800 miles ago. They had changed the oil before I bought it, but I don’t trust many people, so as I should I changed the oil myself and god damn that plastic crush washer had failed and was slowly leaking oil!!
Now we are running 0w-30 liqui moly.
This is correct right f36. The dimple right behind the oil cap flap
Had coolant work done and asked for a bleed and new coolant in whatever tank they were working on. They did a bleed and new coolant in the main tank.
Both tanks are overfilled, and seem almost dirty not sure what that stuff is. What should I do
Been calling around a bunch of local shops. All are saying the job normally is $1100. But that’s like bmw price! Would be like $400-500 if I did it myself.
Very glad I got a warranty when I bought my 18’ 430i. Just had them replace turbo coolant feed and return o rings, balance shaft plugs, diff input seal, and parking brake cable retaining clip. 98k miles, 5k miles left on warranty I wonder what else will break 😅
2018 430i gc with 97k miles. Was able to get 5k in repairs all approved by warranty luckily. What do we think is next, car has aluminum ofh, replaced valve cover gasket and then now the turbo coolant lines and everything else in photos.
What do you guys think is next to go?
What oil grade are you guys running. I’m still stock as of now.
I took a lot of F30, F32, F36 for pre purchase inspections, and a common thing that was found in a lot of them is differential leaks. This is my 2018 430i f36, and the differential input seal is leaking diff fluid, and slinging it. With other ones it was found that it leaks by the axle.
This seems like a super common issue around 90-100k miles that I have never heard a lick about on Reddit!
BMW wants 2.4k for the turbo coolant inlet hose, that seems abused. Also trying to get this covered under the dealer warranty from a Leith dealership, they can’t find the dealer warranty, anyone had that issue before?
Bought this b48 a week ago. Had a bunch of issues. Now the large engine coolant tank is dangerously low, and the small coolant tank is extremely high. Also noticed a leak under the turbocharger.
2018 F36 non m sport. Hit an Opossum tonight sadly and cracked the front lip/underbody cover possibly too. Can’t seem to find any videos on how to replace this. Any advice?
On a B48 after letting sit out for 16 hours. First picture is the big resivoir the level is noticeably below the min line. Second picture is the small resiovir, level is noticeably above the max line and green.
Just bought this F36 2018 430i yesterday. This sound is coming from inside the cabin and seems to happen on really any type of road from like 5-45mph. Seems to go away on highway. Also had a metallic clinking sound, turns out it was the TPMS sensors had fallen into the wheels.
