Re: Non-matching Tyres The OP has put CSC5's in front. This suggests that his fronts have worn down faster than his rears. I am guessing that a) he does not track his car, b) he does not do opposite-lock power slides, and c) he does not do full throttle launches. So I'm guessing that he does a...

Re: Non-matching Tyres Some BMW variants can come with staggered or non-staggered fitments for the same car with the same specs. If what you say is true, then BMW could be endangering it's customers. I don't think so. There are so many variables that determine whether the front or rear breaks...

Re: Non-matching Tyres It should not affect your performance. The tires are of the same manufacturer, same performance class, same price bracket. I'm guessing that you are replacing the fronts that have worn down faster than your rears. In that case, you are much, much better off than you...

Re: 730li e66 probs I guess there's only one way to find out! :yikess: Anyway my car is due for a "reset" before this weekend's drive up to KL. The bimmer is actually my wife's ride, so it's good to wipe the "Aunty Settings" once in a while... FWIW I'll try 4 things: 1. 5 secs pedal down + 2...

Re: 730li e66 probs True. The ECU adapts to your driving style over time, including the transmission shift points. The procedure "resets" the values back to default. So theoretically, if the OP is experiencing uncharacteristic shifting, hitting reset might cure the problem. I had this hard...

Re: 730li e66 probs I believe there is no difference. The N52 engine, whether in 2.5 or 3.0 liter guise can have either a black cover or a silver one. I can't find a pattern - it's almost random.

Re: 730li e66 probs Sorry to bring up a 3 1/2 month old post, but this helped for me: 1) Insert key (don't put foot on brake). 2) Press 'Start' button once, but do not start engine. 3) Press accelerator pedal down to floor and hold for 25 secs - put your foot down past the "click". 4)...
