depends on what it DOESN’T cover… in any case, for that engine/age/mileage, I personally wouldn’t bother, it should be pretty reliable/safe as is.
Unless of course its got signs of being abused by some wannabe racer… in which case though I’d just plain walk away period.
it’s probably good that you didn’t test out an X6M, otherwise you’d have “settled” for a lightly used X6M before buying a new X4 ;)
I’d double down and get a Merc GLE 63S Coupe, cuz BMW has been huffing way too much of their own fumes lately.
I leave it off.
The preaching has always been that starting/stopping the engine is what is most stressfull on the whole system/components. While I’d wager that perhaps that is not AS bad as it used to be, I would also bet that it still IS one of the worst things.
The intent of the feature is not to help YOU the consumer, its to at best, help the environment, and as a side bonus, accelerate the wear of components so they fail sooner after warranty expires.
As such, the feature can go F itself.
Although I do agree that there’s no reason to idle an engine while waiting for a dozen minutes at a parking lot, other than perhaps it being below 0 outside…
also unpopular opinion: all porsche stuff has always looked old and dated to me.
i know bmw went overboard with the newer styling, but at least they’re trying. porsche just keeps milking the same ancient cow over and over and over.
I don’t ever use the giant sandpaper roller washes. I do use the touchless ones, never had a problem with them in any of my cars in the 30(?) years I’ve been using them.
That being said, I don’t wash my car too frequently either. Depends on the weather and how dirty she is. If there’s been no rain, I can go months without washing. If its been raining weekly for weeks, I won’t bother to wash either.
Winter time is very difficult, most places stay closed due to frequent freezing temperatures.
In my cars its always automatic, if I want super fun, I switch to my motorcycle.
Manual sporty cars are only fun if you’ve never been on a ‘manual’ motorcycle :)
My X6M is for when I want to feel like a Roman Emperor in a 600 horse chariot, when I want to feel like Hulk Smash, I switch to my motorcycle :)
I bought my car for the exact same reason I bought my motorcycle, because it made/makes me grin like no other car/motorcycle I’ve seen.
F what everyone else thinks/wants.
definitely would try a heatgun and some manual manipulation. I believe the back of that indented section is hollow, so should be easy enough to work with some wider piece of metal a bit at a time.
