BMW driver’s question
For about five hundred kilometers, I have been struggling with the problem of jerking or gently jerking for a few seconds during calm, steady driving at about 90 km/h. This jerking or jerking occurs in the 1600-1800 rpm range.

BMW driver question – differences in suspension springs
I have a question about suspension springs. What is the difference between C1 springs and, for example, C4 springs? I am getting ready to replace them and would like to know how they differ. I’ve searched the Internet and can’t find a concrete answer. What is it about these designations?

My BMW has already had the oil changed in the automatic transmission using the dynamic method. Both before and after the change, the problem is “dragging” (jerking) of the gear from one to two and from two to three at about 1500 rpm.

I have a problem with the battery and lights. At a standstill after locking the car from the remote control after some time the lights come on by themselves, the light indicator is at position 0. After a few days of standstill I had a discharged battery. What is the cause of such a malfunction?

I have a problem with my BMW 428i. The engine is shaking at idle, making suspicious noises, there is excessive fuel consumption and the catalytic converter is heating up. Diagnostics show that there is too much fuel. My question is whether this engine model (N26) also had a faulty valve train?

BMW driver question
I own a BMW with an N47 engine. I heard the timing rattle for 3 seconds after starting. After replacing the complete timing gear (no tragedy) it suddenly started “ringing”. The sound can be heard non-stop, but only after driving a long distance, that is, warming up the engine. As far as I know, it is impossible for the timing chain to stretch and shrink. Please advise.

BMW driver question
The car after a long stop does not start. No possibility to turn the starter. The lights do not come on. It looks like a discharged battery. After charging the battery no change. The car had all the doors locked for a few days, but probably not locked from the remote control. Could this have been the reason for the discharged battery? How to start the car? Thank you in advance for your advice.
BMW driver’s question
At low temperatures, the engine is too slow to reach the optimum temperature. It reaches it after about 15-20 km, but after turning the air vents on to heat, the temperature drops again and stays at 3/4 optimum. I replaced the thermostat and the problem remains. I heard that this model uses another thermostat for a small system. Will replacing this part fix the issue?
