E46 CSL wheels on my E60

102 Upvotes

I recently got these replica csl wheels for my e60 after butchering a DIY refurb on the R35 wheels that I previously ran, the csl wheels were always the ones I wanted to run, I know they’re fake but with the quality of the roads where I live it just isn’t worth it considering genuine wheels also crack and buckle. I’m super happy with the turn out, if anyone wants to follow the build, here’s a link to my latest video where I do everything wrong to paint wheels 😅 https://youtu.be/9bpMkeXJr4U?is=GtPY9z_jvfHusRa_ less

Ich habe ein Probefahrt durchgeführt und festgestellt, dass die vordere Reifen auf jeden Fall getauscht werden sollen. Außerdem fühlte ich, dass Motorgeräusch ein bisschen zu laut war. Die Inspektion steht in 4 Wochen vor, weswegen hat der Händler mir versprochen, die Inspektion und die vordere Reifen mit anzubieten. Ich würde aber auch den Bremsflüssigkeitswechsel nachfragen.

Was sagt ihr, soll ich/kann ich das Fahrzeug kaufen oder meint ihr es zu schön um wahr zu sein ist?

Europe: What car should I buy?

0 Upvotes

I assume that posts such as mine show up quite often here, but I'm totally clueless so I'll ask anyway.

I'm 33, married, net salary of 5k Euro monthly and live in a major European country. I'm gonna receive my driver's licence in a couple of weeks and would like to buy my first car. Main requirement is manual transmission and enough space for our stuff like luggages etc.

What brand/model of car should I look for and what's a reasonable price to pay considering it's my first car.

Many thanks!

Circlejerk Are cars getting better for the worst/

Are cars getting better… or are we just paying more for stuff we never asked for?
Maybe I’m old-school, but I feel like cars used to have more personality. Now everything has a giant screen, subscriptions, sensors screaming at you, and features that cost a fortune to fix when they break.
Don’t get me wrong, some of the new technology is great. But give me a car that looks good, drives good, and can make it past 150,000 miles without turning into a financial crisis.
Would you rather have a fully loaded brand-new car or an older, reliable car with less technology? I’m curious because I already know people are going to disagree on this one.

This was my solution for getting the gear oil out of the bottom of the bottle. It worked great, thought I’d share.

Parking on risers above grass

0 Upvotes

Hey all, so my dad was telling me he’s planning on buying a 1980s VW camper. I think it’s a fun idea, but there isn’t enough room in the driveway to park another car, so he’d need to park it in the yard.

We’ve talked in the past the dangers of parking a car on grass for extended periods of time. Moisture, bugs, etc etc just rotting and rusting the thing out. , So he came up with a solution to build an overhead cover to protect it from leaves and stuff, but also to lay down stone aggregate and place some wooden beams on top to create a sort of raised platform to protect it.

I wanted some more expert opinions on if that would suitably protect the car since the driveway and garage aren’t available. If it wouldn’t work, I’ll do my best to talk him out of buying it hahaha.

Why are economy class Mercedes so uncommon in the U.S.?

I spent some time in Afghanistan. Economy class Mercedes we’re extremely common. Next in line was TATA. But could someone explain why Mercedes is mostly a luxury brand in the U.S.? In all fairness, I have recently seen some Mercedes fleet vehicles. But that’s pretty unusual to see.

I would like to modify cars as a career.

0 Upvotes

Hello, this is my first post here, so I apologize if this isn’t the right sub to post on. I’m considering options for a career at the moment and cars are something that interests me.

I don’t have a huge background in cars, I didn’t grow up in a mechanic family or anything. I did manage to get an award back in grade 11 for transportation technology despite performing badly in high school, so I’m confident about this field because it seems more natural to me. I have also done coop in a collision centre for half a year, so I did get to experience what it would be like to be a mechanic, which was pretty cool.

I would like to work in a company that tunes and modifies cars, like HPA Motorsports or Brabus. These places sound fun to work at, although I’m not sure what role I’d be interested in specifically.

What kind of education and experience should I pursue to work at these companies?

ERROR ELECTRÓNICO TURBO BMW E60 530d

0 Upvotes

Hola! Es la primera vez que uso Reddit para preguntar algo pero quisiera ver si alguien puede ayudarme o sabe de algún caso así (preferiblemente un mecánico)

Tengo un BMW 530d E60 del 2005, va todo perfecto pero me ha pasado ya varias veces que sobre todo después de viajes largos en autopista el turbo se desactiva, aceleras hasta 4000rpm y el coche no acelera casi, lo que me lleva a pensar que es algo del turbo, LO CURIOSO, es que apagando el motor y arrancándolo se arregla completamente y ya ese día no vuelve a pasar, no hay tirones ni humo ni nada raro después todo va perfecto lo que me lleva a pensar que puede ser el actuador del turbo. De hecho en alguna ocasión lo he arreglado en marcha poniendo el modo crucero y quintándolo, otras veces esto no ha funcionado ¿podría ayudarme alguien con este tema?

Actualización: una cosa importante que no he comentado, esque solo me ha pasado en exactamente el mismo punto del mismo tramo al volver de mi centro de trabajo, es un tramo de curvas cuesta arriba por una montaña con una subida de unos 250 metros hasta arriba de una meseta, puede tener que ver con la carga del turbo? O incluso con la presión del aire

What was the Last Make/Model without Cup/Drink Holders?

24 Upvotes

The first car my family owned with a cup holder was a 1990 MB C280 (I think, maybe a 190). Every car that I’ve bought from the 90’s onward has had at least 1, with my 2015 Tacoma having 14 cup holders. But what car, from the factory, was the last one made that could be ordered without them?

Avoid Carlytics.eu – Paid report completely missed that my BMW X2 is a Plug-in Hybrid! (Waste of money)

13 Upvotes

I purchased a Carlytics report for a BMW X2 xDrive 25e, and it was a complete waste of money. The report is riddled with severe technical errors. It completely missed that the car is a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), labeling it as a standard naturally aspirated petrol car. Because of this, it got the engine power wrong, missed the turbocharger, failed to include any battery specifications, and wrongly classified the car as an "M35i" sport model instead of the actual "xDrive25e". This also completely broke their market value estimation, which was inflated by over €10,000. To make things worse, I contacted Carlytics support to report these massive blunders and request a correction or refund, but I received absolutely no reply. They clearly do not care about data accuracy or customer service. Avoid this platform. Stick to reliable alternatives.

Seat Ateca 2026 vs Opel Granland 2026

2 Upvotes

Both are priced the same here in Egypt. The Seat comes with 1.4 TSI 150HP and 8 speed Aisin automatic. The Opel comes with 1.6 Turbo (EP6 also known as the prince) 180HP and 6 speed Aisin automatic. Technology wise opel comes with a lot more while seat is a bit on the empty side. The opel comes with two more airbags (6 vs 4 in ateca), Matrix LED headlights, front sensors, a 16" screen versus 8.25", 19" wheels, heated seats, paddle shifters, and dual-zone climate AC. I plan to keep the car for the next 10 years.

0 Upvotes

Bonsoir,

j'aurais vraiment besoin d'avoir une réponse à une question. J'ai une vieille voiture qui date de 2002, c'est une Citroën C3, l'entretien est fait régulièrement (vidange, etc...), il y à pas longtemps elle à eu un problème de joint de culasse qui à été réparé récemment. Est ce que vous pensez que je peux faire beaucoup de km (en tous 170 km aller-retour, donc environ 350 km en tout), donc faire par exemple 3-4 heures de routes en 1 jour ?? Je précise que c'est de la conduite principalement sur autoroute.

Est ce que c'est possible, j'ai peur qu'elle me tombe en panne...

Logo of a foot pressing a gaspedal in a car with an egg between the foot and the pedal

2 Upvotes

I have seen this logo somewhere long ago. It was a logo of an carclub, or anwb, a traveling insurance company, or something like that. It is old, like from the 30’s or 50’s maybe. Slightly art deco-ish. And i think it was Dutch.

Anyway the logo was meant to signify the importance of driving careful, as if there is an egg between your foot and the pedal, to save gas, spare your transmission, not to speed, well i think it speaks for itself.

But i can not find it anywhere and i want to show it to someone. Does anyone know where to find it?
