Spudooli 18 Report post Posted September 8, 2012 Can someone please tell me exactly what this thing is called? Its rubber mounts are broken and I don't want to look like an idiot at Jerry Clayton's trying to describe it. Much prefer to look an idiot here... Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liyi_92 37 Report post Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah, they changed to lifetime fill a few years back..... I think BMW's "lifetime" means the period of ownership of the first buyer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah, they changed to lifetime fill a few years back..... No no stupid. They don't have a engine oil dipstick because the cars computer tells them how much oil it has on the OBC. So it has an electronic dipstick, my last few cars have had this, when I start them up it comes up with a image like the service indicator bar on an older BMW and showed oil levels. Quite handy.

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 I recon. Was thinking just the other day I wished my car had a manual choke and removable crank handle to start it too, would be awesome and give me way less to worry about, life is too stressful as it is, and then I was like f**k it I'm just going to ride my bike, and then tough what if I get a flat tyre so just walked.

westy 614 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Well considering most of the E46 oil level sensors are/have been buggered at some stage.... Also, dont wear your shoes out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 PS. Reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Reckon. So I went barefoot and wore my feet out. Life is stressful. The system works fine on my POS, uses the same system on the brake fluid, that can bee annoying if you corner hard enough the fluid goes to one side and the sensor signals a brake warning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed - I just roll a huge bolder in front of my door each day when I got to work. Takes a while but at least I know my key won't jam in the door and I'll be locked out. Sometimes I just think I should get a stegosaurus to guard my door but then I'd have to look after it. Perhaps technology is easier... :-p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
