Large BMW X7 Kidney Grilles Fail To Look Good Under Frankfurt Spotlight

We’ve reached the high water mark on the big grille trend. Now it’s time to go back.

BMW drivers of yesteryear had few simple pleasures in life, one of which was to feel the dread in the hearts of Audi quattro drivers as those distinct kidney grilles approached fast in the rear-view mirror. Those were left intact on purpose so that no Four Rings driver would make a mistake as to how they met their demise, and they continue to exist on every modern BMW including on the i variants. Unfortunately, those kidney grilles haven’t translated over to the latest BMW concept very well.

When the X7 hit the Internet, its slim headlights and oversized kidney grilles made it look like an angry wild boar rather than a sophisticated luxury SUV that had been put on a linebacker’s diet and engineered for dirt roads. Now, after taking in the presence of the actual concept during its 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show reveal, we’re pleased to say that the X7 Concept doesn’t look as bad in person as it does in BMW’s set of press photos. Make no mistake, however, the grille remains imposing. Especially when the headlights have been subdued to such an extent. But under the showroom lights the chrome accents on the bottom of the front fascia remove visual weight from the bloated kidneys.

With those accents shouldering more of the aesthetic responsibility, our eyes are able to drift to other parts of the full-size SUV such as the muscular hood, large wheels, and classical SUV proportions that have been given a modern twist. Cover up the front end with your hand on a three-quarter view of the X7 and you’ll see a Toyota Land Cruiser in the rear half and a Mercedes GLS on the front, albeit with cooler door handles and a 7 Series-style trim accent starting at the front doors and running towards the back under the rear doors. The tail end is classic BMW X, though the unifying rear taillight strip echoes modernity along with the vents flanking the bottom sides of the rear bumper.

While we’re happy with these parts, the more conservative middle and rear of the X7 mean that BMW will have to tone down that damned front grille before this concept makes it to production. As always, we’ll see how that manifests in due time.

13 Sedans That Can Sprint From 0-60 MPH In Under 4 Seconds

Sedans as fast as supercars, right off the showroom floor.

Cast your mind back a decade, to 2008 – the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 520-4, with a 5.0-liter 513-hp V10, could run 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds dead. For its time, this was a standard supercar benchmark. Of course, top speed could also be a measure, but since most manufacturers limit their vehicles at 155 mph, though they’re far capable of exceeding this, it’s a half measure at best.

So, isn’t it a joyous time for automotive enthusiasts, an era where a family sedan can keep pace with a bona fide supercar? It’s either testament to how far things have come or a scathing indictment on the supercar sector. But it’s now not at all uncommon to find sedans not just keeping pace from standstill, but around racetracks too. To honor the era of the super-sedan, we’ve found all the sedans on the market in the US that currently crack the 0-60 mph mark in under 4 seconds – though many of them have far greater credit than merely their ability to out-accelerate a decade old supercar.

Cadillac CTS-V

A decade ago, Cadillac wouldn’t have dared even dream of being on this list, but the latest incarnations of the ATS-V and CTS-V have established them as a proper performance carmaker for the American masses. It’s the CTS-V that finds a spot here though, as the rear-wheel-drive thunder-saloon is capable of a 0-60 mph sprint time of a manufacturer claimed 3.7 seconds. It’s thanks to the immense power available from its Corvette-sourced 6.2-liter supercharged V8 – 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. That gut-wrenching power doesn’t end at 60 mph though, as the CTS-V will run on to 200 mph if given the track-space to do so.

Audi RS7

The Audi RS7 is one of the oldest cars on this list, and due for replacement at some stage in the near future. But quattro all-wheel drive and a potent twin-turbo V8 engine set the RS7 in good stead to run with supercars well before the rest of the world played catch-up. With 560 hp and 516 lb-ft tied to the ground via permanent all-wheel drive, is it any wonder the RS7 sprints to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.7 seconds? The potent RS7 Performance does it quicker still, in 3.6 seconds with 605hp.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Which is more exciting – a sedan that can keep pace with supercars, or the fact that it’s a rear-wheel drive Alfa Romeo? Powered by a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter bi-turbo V6, 505 hp and superior engineering see the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio rocket to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. More than that, the Giulia Quadrifoglio held the Nurburgring record for the fastest production sedan, lapping the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 32 seconds, quicker than a Lexus LFA and Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. It’s pretty much earned the tag of being a Ferrari sedan.

Audi RS3 Sedan

Who would’ve thought something sharing a chassis with a VW Beetle would end up on this list? Well, here the RS3 Sedan is, replete with a 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine – of course – and 400 horsepower, sent to all four corners with 0-60 mph taking a rapid 3.9 seconds. Lest we forget, the RS3 is the junior Audi Sport model of the entire line-up, and it’s capable of dealing out hidings to far bigger foes without batting an eyelid.

Dodge Charger Hellcat

Hellcat power, is there anything else that needs saying? The Dodge Charger Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 generates 707 earthshaking horsepower, sent to the rear pair of tires with enough force, and grip, to send the Charger from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. But stick it on a drag strip with some track rubber and it’ll outgun many a supercar. Not to mention, how many family sedans can brag about having 707 horsepower and a 204 mph top speed?

BMW M760i xDrive

Whilst many of the vehicles on this list possess genuine sports car credentials, the same can’t be said of the BMW M760i xDrive. It is after all a luxury land yacht first and foremost, designed to ferry passengers in the rear of the cabin in complete relaxation. But whilst appearances may be somewhat unassuming, the 601 horsepower 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 lurking under the hood is anything but. Throw in permanent all-wheel drive, and the M760i is the land yacht capable of 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. Down any straight stretch of road, the M760i is capable of dealing supercars a good scare.

Tesla Model S P100D

Representing the boys from Electric Avenue, the Tesla Model S P100D has been the poster-child for EV performance since day one. YouTube is filled with videos of P100Ds destroying supercars and drag-monsters alike down the strip, not surprising given it sprints from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Two point five seconds!

Not only is that true supercar territory, but that’s as quick as a Bugatti Veyron completes the same feat, and the Tesla has been known to do it quicker in testing. It’s perhaps the single feature of the Model S that’s cemented it in the hearts and minds of motoring enthusiasts.

Mercedes-AMG S63

While almost all AMGs are thundering demons of the street and track, it’s the biggest of the lot – the AMG S63 – that offers the best performance in a 4-door sedan package. Powered by the familiar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine seen across the range, outputs of 603 hp and 664 lb-ft mean the S63 offers one of the highest states of tune for the hot-vee motor. Mated to all-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic transmission, 0-60 mph arrives in 3.4 seconds, frightening not just the BMW M760i but many a supercar on the street too.

Mercedes-AMG E63 S

From one AMG to the next, the AMG E63 S makes use of the same 4.0-liter V8 as the S63, in an identical 603-hp state of tune, and with the same automatic gearbox. But its all-wheel-drive system has an extreme rear bias (and a drift mode), and the reduced weight compared to its bigger brother means the E63 S 4Matic+ takes performance to a new level. 0-60 mph arrives in just 3.3 seconds, but it’s not just that number that tells the story. The E63 S is a capable luxury cruiser but possesses the duality of being equally at home on a racetrack where it can be found hunting down BMW M5s and Audi RS7s.

BMW M5 Competition

After Mercedes-AMG took the E63 the AWD route, it was a waiting game to see how BMW would respond. The response was swift and the strike deadly accurate, as BMW pioneered the M-xDrive all-wheel-drive system specifically for the new M5. Paired with an upgraded 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 churning out 617 hp in Competition trim, the M5 Performance – replete with an illustrious performance history dating back more than 30 years – smashes the 0-60 mph benchmark in 3.1 seconds. Every day is a track day when you drive an M5.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

It’s said that every Porsche is a sports car first, and a segment competitor second. That’s the ethos behind vehicles like the Macan, and indeed the Porsche Panamera. Now in its second – and arguably most beautiful generation – it’s the hybridized Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid that delivers the strongest of killer blows. A twin-turbocharged V8, measuring 4.0-liters in displacement, kicks out 550 hp, but is bonded to a supplementary electrical system to bolster total outputs to a manic 680 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque.

With all-wheel drive and the incredible PDK dual-clutch gearbox, 0-60 mph takes 3.2 seconds before the Turbo S E-Hybrid stretches on to a 192 mph top speed. Of course, it does all this with the ability to out-handle just about any other sports saloon on track too, making it a true supercar slayer for the modern family man.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe

The most recent addition to this list is perhaps one of the most fitting. Though the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S might be based upon the same chassis as the E63 mentioned above, with the same engine at its heart, the whole thing has been worked over from the ground up by the team at AMG to create what is effectively a 4-door version of its monstrous AMG GT supercar.

It makes use of the same 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, but dialed in for sharper responses and better on-track behavior – though drift mode is still standard – and the 4.0-liter V8 churns out 630 hp in 63 S trim. 0-60 mph takes 3.1 seconds, quick enough to rival any supercar, and handling gets a boost courtesy of rear-wheel steering. Though it’s yet to go on sale in the US, the recent international launch is enough to warrant its eligibility for inclusion here.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8

The Jaguar XE is a competent sports sedan in its own right, but hand it over to Jaguar Land Rovers Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) department, and the sports sedan becomes something beastly. Under the hood, SVO shoehorned a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 outputting 592 horsepower. Traction is found through a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system, with specially designed, track-honed suspension aiding high levels of grip. Carbon fiber usage is liberal for reduced weight, meaning the most powerful series-production Jaguar ever can achieve impressive performance in all circumstances.

0-60 mph takes 3.3 seconds, the Project 8 tops out at 200 mph, and the giant rear wing develops 269 lbs of downforce at 186 mph. But Project 8 was designed to conquer any and all racetracks, and the limited production model of just 300 units proved its track pedigree by setting the fastest ever lap at the Nurburgring for a production four-door sedan, lapping the circuit in 7 minutes, 21.2 seconds – quicker than a Ferrari 488 GTB, Dodge Viper, and Ferrari Enzo. It seems a fitting sedan to finish this list with, one that hammers home the point that sedans are now truly as fast as supercars. What a time to be alive!

Is A BMW M4 Gran Coupe Under Consideration?

The new Audi RS5 Sportback could also be a factor.

According to a report in Spanish language Motor.es, BMW is planning to launch an M4 Gran Coupe due to customer demand as well as the arrival of new and already widely respected opponent, the new Audi RS5 Sportback. However, the upcoming M4 Gran Coupe will not be part of the current generation, but rather it’ll be based on the next generation 3 and 4 Series. It’s not slated to arrive until 2021, at the earliest. We can’t say this news is not entirely unexpected, although BMW has yet to make an official statement.

We reached out to BMW, but received the standard "we do not comment on rumors" response. BMW previously felt there was insufficient demand to justify giving its current generation 4 Series Gran Coupe the full-on M treatment, but given buyers’ appetites for the sleek styling and conveniences of a four-door hatchback, the decision seems to be a no-brainer. And yes, the Audi RS5 Sportback is due to hit US showrooms later this year. Why would BMW want to give Audi this segment all to itself in one of the two most lucrative markets in the world? While the M4 Gran Coupe is still a few years away, speculation is alive and well regarding the upcoming M3 and M4. But let’s back up slightly first.

The next generation 3 Series is expected to be unveiled this October at the Paris Motor Show. The M3 and M4 won’t come for at least another year following that. Built on BMW’s CLAR platform, which also underpins the 5 and 7 Series as well as the also upcoming reborn 8 Series, expect weight to be decreased and output to increase. Speaking of which, we've heard the next M3 and M4 will be powered by an updated version of the current twin-turbo inline-six, currently rated at 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. BMW could either simply increase this engine’s output by 45 to 60 more ponies or, alternatively, give it electrical power.

This would entail a 48-volt electrical system paired with a small electric motor that would be located between the engine and gearbox. By comparison, the 2018 Audi RS5 Sportback has 444 hp thanks to its twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6. BMW’s M division has also made no secret regarding its intention to expand its product offerings, and a M4 Gran Coupe would fit very nicely with that growing lineup.

Alarm Triggers Unexpectedly - Troubleshooting

MODEL:

All with DWA Alarm (Option 302)

DIAGNOSTIC TIPS

When troubleshooting a customer complaint that the DWA (Anti-theft alarm system) triggers unexpectedly, stored fault codes may be misleading

and result in an incorrect repair.

The first check must be to check the alarm counter, which shows the component responsible for the false alarms and the alarm frequency.

The alarm counter is checked using the BMW diagnosis equipment as follows:

^ MOST bus vehicles: "Function selection/Complete vehicle/Body/Locking and security functions/Burglar alarm system/DWA activations".

^ I-bus vehicles: The input responsible for alarm triggering is stored in the alarm memory in the ZKE (General Module). The alarm memory can be

read out with the "short test" or with "read fault memory" in the diagnosis program.

Continue troubleshooting based on the results from the alarm counter check.

Is This The All-New 2019 BMW 3 Series Hiding Under A Sheet?

BMW will lift the covers off the new 3 Series at the 2018 Paris Auto Show next month.

After copious amounts of official teasers and spy shots of prototypes, BMW will soon lift the covers off the brand new 3 Series at the Paris Auto Show. Ahead of its official reveal next month, a new photo has surfaced on French forum Worldscoop showing what appears to be the production version of the G20 BMW 3 Series hiding under a sheet.

Like other recently introduced BMW models such as the new 8 series, the kidney grille is noticeably larger than its predecessor’s. Unlike other recent BMW models, however, the grille is still connected to the LED headlights. BMW Blog speculates the model depicted in the photo is the M340i M Performance model due to the enhanced outer edges specific to BMW M models.

Under the hood, the new BMW M340i is expected to use a variant of the new B58 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine delivering around 360 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox are expected to be offered as standard, while BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system is likely to be on the options list. It isn’t known if a manual transmission will be available, however.

The M340i will also have BMW's limited-slip M Sport Differential as standard, which will be optional on other trims. While the next-generation 3 Series will be larger than the previous model, it will ride on BMW’s CLAR architecture, resulting in a 121-pound weight reduction thanks to extensive use of aluminium, magnesium and high-strength steel. The sedan’s rigidity has also been improved while still maintaining a perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Following its world debut at the Paris Auto Show next month, the new BMW 3 Series is expected to launch later this year.

5 Sporty Coupes Under $35,000 You Can Buy Today

Although the segment is dying, the choices have never been better.

The sporty coupe is a dying segment. All automakers know that, and only a select few are doing their absolute best to keep these cars alive. Doing so requires bringing something new to the table while retaining the original formula of affordability and fun to drive factor. It’s not easy. But fortunately there are five coupes out there you can comfortably buy for less than $35,000 that are also a hoot and half to drive. Rear seat passengers may not have the most legroom, but it’s the driver that counts most, right?

First up is the only FWD car here, the 2018 Honda Civic Si coupe. Also a sedan, but not everyone is ready for full-time family life yet. This latest Civic Si coupe offers a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 205 hp 192 lb-ft of torque. Sadly, the previous gen's VTEC engine is a goner, but the new turbo four is a worthy successor. A six-speed manual is the only gearbox offered, and Honda is awfully good at doing nice, tight manuals. The suspension has also been reworked. The springs and anti-roll bars have been stiffened for a firmer, sportier ride. The 2018 Honda Civic Si also happens to be one of the best bargains out there today. With a base price of $24,100 (not including destination), it’s literally impossible to go wrong here.

If you’re willing to spend $35k or so, here's a great choice: the BMW 2 Series coupe. This is the quintessential BMW, whose origins date back to the 2002 and original E30 3 Series. The current 2 Series is what BMW used to be all about: well-engineered, fun to drive cars with a premium look and feel. The 2 Series, specifically the 230i, still checks those boxes. Power comes from turbocharged 2.0-liter producing 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, with power sent to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual. An eight-speed automatic is optional, and is the only gearbox offered for the AWD xDrive trim. Like with any BMW, checking the box of extra features and packages adds up fast, but in the case of the 230i, we believe less is more.

Toyota and Subaru took a chance back in 2012 with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. The former is now the Toyota 86. RWD coupes with nearly useless back seats don’t exactly translate to stellar sales, but the automakers wanted to reach out to a younger crowd. It kind of worked. In any case, both received mid-life updates last year and return for 2018. Power, like always, comes from a 2.0-liter boxer four, now with 205 hp (which drops to 200 hp with the automatic transmission; stick with the stick) and 156 lb-ft of torque. There aren’t many optional features for either car, though the BRZ offers a Performance Package. A $25,595 and $26,255 base price for the BRZ and 86, receptively, means lots of fun can be had for little bank.

Is the Ford Mustang EcoBoost a muscle car or a sports car? Good question. Long debate. But we want to focus on the sheer bang for your buck the base Mustang offers. For $25,585, you can buy a Mustang with 310 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque – and that’s from a turbo 2.3-liter four-cylinder. The previous V6 engine has been discontinued. A six-speed manual is standard but the new 10-speed automatic, for $1,595, is a remarkable gearbox in its own right. The Mustang EcoBoost hits 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, if you opt for the slushbox. There's also the $2,495 Performance Package, which offers a limited-slip rear diff, larger brake rotors, rear wing, and more goodies that were once only found on far more expensive sports cars. Try not to have too much fun.

When there’s the Ford Mustang, there’s also the Chevrolet Camaro. It too offers a turbo four, but with an output of 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual comes standard while the eight-speed automatic is optional for another $1,495. We’ve always loved the Camaro’s exterior looks, and this sixth-generation model doesn’t disappoint. It looks menacing and more expensive than it really is. Speaking of which, your friendly Chevy sales person will kindly ask you to hand over at least $26,900 for a turbo four Camaro coupe, which is still darn reasonable. Of course, adding on the extras boosts the price tag, but if you have up to $35k as your disposable, you can afford to splurge a bit.

Honorable Mention: Dodge Challenger. Okay, so the Challenger may look like a coupe from the outside, but underneath it’s really a sedan. It’s built on a slightly modified platform that underpins the Dodge Charger sedan, so it’s not exactly a lightweight compared to the above offerings. But still, two doors are two doors in this case, and its base price is $26,995 for the Challenger SXT trim. Power comes from the excellent 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp and 268 lb-ft of torque. The sole gearbox, for all V6 trims, is an eight-speed automatic. But thanks to its larger size, the Challenger’s rear seat is far more passenger friendly. Most will also agree that it has the most badass exterior design of the bunch.

BMW 9 Series Under Consideration To Fight Mercedes-Maybach

An ultra-luxury four-door coupe could slot above the 8 Series in the future.

The new BMW 8 Series is the Bavarian automaker’s flagship grand-tourer and rival to the Porsche 911 and Mercedes S-Class, but BMW is already considering putting a 9 Series into production to slot above it. Speaking with Autocar, BMW design director Adrian van Hooydonk hinted the 9 Series could take the form of an ultra-luxury four-door coupe to fight the Mercedes-Maybach S600 as part of BMW’s push to infiltrate the premium market.

“Let’s say this: we won’t stop here [with the 8 Series]” he said when asked if BMW has plans for a 9 Series. “Obviously our job is to have more ideas than the company can build because the other way round would be very bad. My team and I are now looking at 2021 and beyond – as far out as 2030. We have a lot of plans.”

The stunning BMW 8 Series recently entered production and is the first model to revive the name since the original went out of production nearly 20 years ago. A four-door Gran Coupe and Convertible version are slated to arrive next year. Van Hooydonk added that the 8 Series is just the start of a “new chapter” for BMW. “The coupe will always kickstart the next level in design. The same is true for this car,” he said.

The 8 Series shares platform elements with the 7 Series, so a future 9 Series is likely to use the same architecture and engine options. Power is provided by a 4.4-liter V8 gasoline engine in the M850i, which produces 523 hp. A large four-door coupe would also likely be a big seller in China. Autocar speculates the 9 Series will tie in with the potential expansion of BMW’s SUV and electric i ranges after the automaker trademarked every model name between i1 and i9, ix1 and ix9, and between X1 and X9.

Van Hooydonk added that the growth of the i brand has allowed BMW to push into the premium market: “The i brand has created a lot of opportunities for us, both in the acceptance of new technologies, and also in the acceptance of new design. [In terms of design], a car like the i8 opened doors to us we didn’t even know were there.”

Hydraulic Bucket Tappets (HVA) Troubleshooting Tips

MODEL

All with M42, M44, M50, M52, M54, M60, M62, S50, S52 and S62 engines

SITUATION

Two common reasons for the replacement of hydraulic bucket tappets (HVA) are:

1. Tapping / rattling noise from the valve train area or

2. Binding HVA element

CAUSE

Tapping / rattling noise from the valve train area may have various different causes depending on engine oil level, engine / oil temperature, when the

noise is heard (cold start, engine hot), etc.

The following Complaint, Cause and Correction scenarios will assist in troubleshooting for HVA element noise:

SITUATION 1A

Tapping / rattling noises from the area of the valve train up to 20 seconds after a cold start.

CAUSE

These noises can be traced back to the higher viscosity of cold mineral based engine oil.

For a brief moment insufficient oil reaches the high pressure chamber of the HVA element via the high pressure valve after start up. This results in

clearance between the HVA element and the camshaft lobe which then causes a tapping / rattling noise.

Influencing factors for this complaint:

Viscosity of engine oil used

Ambient temperature

This condition is not caused by mechanical damage to any engine components and has no damaging effect on the service life of the engine.

CORRECTION

Check that oil viscosity is matched to ambient temperature range at which the vehicle is being operated. Refer to Owners Manual or Operating Fluids

Manual (Temperature - Viscosity chart) for further information.

SITUATION 1B

Tapping / rattling noises in the area of the valve train for the first 8 - 10 consecutive cold starts.

This condition usually occurs after the engine has been turned off at normal operating temperature and then not warmed up to full operating

temperature during the next series of cold starts.

This operating condition can occur, for example, on new vehicles which have been delivered to your BMW center (due to loading and unloading

from the transport trucks, etc.).

157

CAUSE

Hot engine oil initially escapes from the oil galley of the HVA elements when the engine is stopped. A small amount of oil also escapes through the

gaps between the HVA elements and the HVA housings in the cylinder head.

The oil then contracts while the engine is cooling down and allows air to enter the oil system.

During the subsequent cold start, this air can be forced into the HVA elements (causing air pockets) through the build up of engine oil pressure. The

resulting clearance between the HVA elements and the camshaft lobes causes the tapping / rattling noises.

This HVA tapping / rattling noise is not dependent on the amount of time the engine is off, but rather on:

The temperature of the engine when it was turned off (operating temperature - hot)

The number of subsequent cold starts without the engine being warmed up to operating temperature.

CORRECTION

Run the engine to dissipate (bleed) the air trapped in the high pressure chamber of the HVA elements.

Refer to the HVA bleeding procedure described below.

SITUATION 1C

Tapping / rattling noises in the area of the valve train after extreme cornering/lateral acceleration (engine oil level at or below minimum).

Note:

These valve train noises will not stop until the engine is run for approximately 10 - 15 minutes at an engine speed of at least 2,500 rpm with the

oil at the proper level.

CAUSE

During extreme cornering/lateral acceleration with the engine oil level at or below minimum, air can be drawn in by the oil pump (oil foaming). The

air which is drawn into the oil system can enter the HVA elements. The resulting clearance between the HVA elements and the camshaft lobes

causes the tapping / rattling noises.

Correction:

Run the engine to dissipate (bleed) the air trapped in the high pressure chamber of the HVA elements.

Refer to the HVA bleeding procedure described below.

HVA BLEEDING PROCEDURE:

-- Check oil level - correct if necessary.

-- Let engine idle at operating temperature with the hood open to verify valve train tapping / rattling noise.

-- If a tapping / rattling noise can be heard from the valve train, run the engine for 3 minutes without load at approximately 2,500 to 3,000 rpm

(bleeding procedure).

-- Then with the engine at idle listen for valve train noises again.

Note:

Only listen for noises when the engine has reached minimum oil pressure, i.e. after a waiting period (at idle) of approximately 15 - 30 seconds.

-- If no more noises can be heard, the test procedure is complete. No further action is necessary, the engine is working properly.

-- If the tapping / rattling noises can still be heard, the bleeding procedure must be repeated (run the engine for 3 minutes at 2,500 - 3,000 rpm).

If necessary, repeat this procedure up to five times.

-- If the tapping / rattling noises can still be heard, the bleeding procedure must be performed one final time for approximately 15 minutes.

-- If no more noises can be heard, the test procedure is complete. No further action is necessary, the engine is working properly.

If the tapping / rattling noise is still heard after performing the above HVA Bleeding Procedure the following scenarios will assist in further

troubleshooting for HVA element noise:

158

If the noise is coming from all HVA elements an oil supply problem is the most likely cause.

Check engine oil pressure as outlined in the appropriate repair manual, group 11.

If the oil pump pressure (at idle = minimum pressure or regulated = maximum pressure) is below specification a visual inspection of the oil pump

and oil pump pick up in the oil pan should be performed with emphasis on the pick up gasket and control valve 0 ring were applicable. See repair

manual group 11, section 11 41 000 for further oil pump information.

Notes:

A faulty oil pump control valve 0 ring or oil pump pick up gasket (slight tear in 0 ring or gasket) may not always result in a low oil pressure

indication when performing an oil pressure check.

The air drawn in to the lubrication system via a defective gasket or 0 ring will cause oil foaming and HVA tapping / rattling noises.

If the noise is still coming from an individual HVA element after performing the above HVA Bleeding Procedure the suspected element(s) can be

isolated as follows:

-- Remove cylinder head cover.

-- Turn the engine over (normal direction of rotation) until the camshaft lobe of the HVA element to be checked is pointing away from the HVA

element. (engine valve completely closed)

-- Repeatedly apply a force of approximately 10N (2.25 lb.f.) to the HVA element with your thumb or using a folding arm tool BMW special tool

number 90 88 6 009 321 (included in the BMW assembly wedge kit PN 90 88 6 009 310) or a hard wood wedge.

If the HVA element collapses slightly as though it is spring loaded, this is a sign that air is trapped in the high pressure chamber.

-- Apply a force of approximately 20 - 30N (4.50 - 6.75 lb.f.) for 10 - 15 seconds to the HVA element using your thumb, folding arm tool or a hard

wood wedge.

If clearance between the camshaft lobe and the HVA element is created when the force is applied, this indicates that the check valve incorporated in

the HVA element is not closing / sealing properly due to contamination.

Release the applied force from the HVA element and using a feeler gauge measure the clearance between the HVA element and the camshaft lobe.

If any clearance is detected this indicates that the HVA element is sticking.

-- Conduct the checks as described above on all HVA elements.

-- Mark any suspect "soft" HVA element(s) for further examination.

Remove HVA elements as outlined in the appropriate repair manual, group 11 and visually inspect. Replace any suspect "soft" HVA element(s) and

check others for extreme wear (deep grooves, scratches, etc.) which may also need to be replaced.

Note:

Always reinstall used HVA elements in the same bore which they were removed from. This avoids possible binding due to different wear

patterns between the bore in the HVA housing and HVA element.

SITUATION 2

Binding HVA element.

CAUSE

An HVA element which is binding (element stuck in the extended position) will not allow a valve (intake or exhaust) to seat properly causing valve

seat leakage.

This type of HVA failure may not cause a tapping / rattling noise but the customer complaint may be: "engine runs rough during the warm up phase

and runs good when warmed up" and/or the "Check Engine" lamp is on.

If the "Check Engine" lamp is illuminated due to a binding HVA element(s) one or more misfire fault codes may be set in the Engine Control

Module (ECM/DME).

Note:

Basic troubleshooting should be performed first before checking for a binding HVA element to eliminate all other possible factors / components

which could set the misfire faults such as low fuel level, a faulty spark plug, etc.

Refer to Service Information bulletin 12 02 97 for further misfire fault information.

159

Troubleshooting tips:

-- If there is a binding HVA element in one or more cylinders as described above a misfire fault can typically be reproduced in the affected

cylinder(s) by duplicating the conditions in which the misfire occurred according to the DME/ECM fault code description i.e., at engine

temperature = X, engine speed = X, etc.

-- A binding HVA element which is causing a misfire in one specific cylinder will not "move" to an other cylinder and will always cause a misfire

fault in the affected cylinder.

-- Performing the "Smooth-Running" test (found in the DME control unit functions section of DIS) will assist in pin pointing a cylinder with a

binding HVA element.

A cylinder with a binding HVA element will indicate a high reading when compared to the other good cylinders.

-- Since a binding HVA element may in some cases be intermittent (engine only runs rough when cold) if a cylinder leak down check is used for

troubleshooting this should be performed when the problem exists, for example: compare the cylinder leakage rates to each other with a cold

engine to determine the cylinder with the extreme leakage rate.

A cylinder with a binding HVA element will indicate a leakage rate above 15%.

Remove suspected HVA elements as outlined in the appropriate repair manual group 11 and visually inspect.

-- A binding HVA element will typically have a high pressure piston- (located in the center of the HVA element body) which extends out

approximately 3mm further when compared to the other HVA elements removed from the cylinder head.

Replace any binding HVA element(s) and check others for extreme wear (deep grooves, scratches, etc.) which may also need to be replaced.

Note:

Always reinstall used HVA elements in the same bore which they were removed from. This avoids possible binding due to different wear

patterns between the bore in the HVA housing and HVA element.

Maintenance and General Hints

This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.I. 00 01 99 dated October 1999.

Changes to this revision are identified by a black bar and asterisks.

SUBJECT

New Vehicle Preparation and Maintenance Requirements

MODEL

* 2000 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, Z3, Z8 *

SITUATION

425

* The Z8 is a 2-passenger roadster which features aluminum as the predominant body shell material, being utilized for the space frame, the bolt-on

body panels, and for many of the suspension pieces. Other major components are the S62 engine and 6-speed S6S420G manual transmission also

found in the M5 sedan, an electrohydraulic semiautomatic soft top with plastic rear window, and brakes derived from the 750iL sedan. *

Quality Certification I (QCI):

The 1999 QCI checklist (item 5D92-104) may be used on all 2000 model year vehicles, including the Z8.

Electronic Battery Disconnect Switch (EBS):

* As of approx. February 00 production, a new electronic battery disconnect switch is being introduced on 2000 model 3 Series sedans which are not

equipped with the optional fold-down rear seat, nor with the optional ski sack. The EBS takes the place of the mechanical disconnect switch used

previously. The EBS consists of a magnetic sensor (mounted near the top edge of the windshield), the switch itself (mounted on the positive terminal

of the battery), a wiring harness (connects these two components), and a magnetic activation "pen" (clipped to a holder on the windshield). The

sensor, switch and the pen holder must be removed during QCI. Additionally, the harness is to be tied back under the rear seat. Please refer to SI 61

01 00 for additional information *

A new Service Maintenance Checklist (item 5D92-121) has been developed for the 2000 models. It contains only a few changes compared to the

1999 checklist. The Checklist 5D92-121 has been updated to include all new models mentioned above (except the Z8- see below).

* A separate Service Maintenance Checklist (item 5D92-1 56) has been developed for the 2000 Z8. While the overall maintenance requirements are

almost identical to those of the MS sedan, the checklist now incorporates space to record values called for in specific checking operations. These

include disc brake pad thickness, tire pressures, parking brake lining thickness, and the freeze point temperatures of the engine coolant and of the

windshield washer fluid. Additionally, there is a space provided on the checklist header to list the mileage remaining until the next service, as

calculated by the Service Interval Indicator.

A copy of the Service Maintenance Checklist for the Z8 is included as an attachment. *

Copies of the QCI, and Service Maintenance checklists applicable for 2000 models are included as attachments.

Service Maintenance:

* M5, Z8:

QCI: *

The MS and the Z8 feature the Tire Pressure Warning System (RDW) as standard equipment. RDW is a system that will warn the driver of gradual

pressure losses in one or more of the tires through the Check Control display. The system must be initialized during QCI after the tire pressures have

been set to the values listed on the Tire Information Placard, located on the driver's side B-pillar. The initialization can be performed as part of the

QCI Road Test.

* Initialize the RDW by pressing the instrument panel button (to the right of the steering column on the MS; in the radio access panel on the Z8) at

least 4 seconds, just before driving off. "Tire Pressure Set" * will be displayed briefly in the Check Control matrix display. The system is now in the

learn mode and after driving off, the RDW's control module will start to store the values for the rolling circumference of the tires based on road

speed. The control module must receive useable speed signals (speeds greater than approx. 7 mph) for at least 4 minutes to enable initialization.

1200 Mile Service:

* A new maintenance service is required on the M5 and the Z8 to ensure maximum life and longevity of various components. It includes:

^ Replace the transmission fluid (M5 only; not required on the Z8)*

^ Replace the differential oil

^ Read out the diagnostic system

426

^ Check all warning/indicator lights and check control

^ Perform road test

The engine oil does not need to be changed at this service. Do not reset the Service Interval Indicator at the 1200 Mile Service!

* Every M5 and Z8 has a small yellow "1200 Mile Service Required" reminder label on the center console, ahead of the shift lever. This label should

be removed when the 1200 Mile Service has been performed. *

Inspection II

7 Series only:

Replacement of the IHKA recirculated air filters has been rescheduled from every second Insp. to every Insp. II.

M roadster M coupe, M5:

Replace the M-Mobility System sealant cartridge every 3 years (invoice separately).

* Note: the Z8 does not utilize the M-Mobility System, due to the introduction of run-flat tires and special hump wheels in conjunction with the

RDW Tire Pressure Warning System as standard equipment. The tires are designed with reinforced sidewalls with special steel inserts and rubber

compounds that are extremely temperature resistant. Even if a tire has suffered a total loss of air pressure, its shape, the driving and handling

characteristics are largely maintained for up to 300 miles. The specially designed extended hump wheels maintain the damaged tire's proper position

on the wheel. *

General Notes:

Service Interval Indicator:

* The E46 (sedan and coupe) and the Z8 are the only models which are equipped with the new * generation Service Interval Indicator (SII 4), which

displays the miles remaining until the next service is due.

All other models use the SII 3, which utilizes the green/yellow/red LEDs.

Z8 SD92-154 *

BMW High Performance Synthetic Engine Oil (5W-40):

All models are factory-filled with this oil (except the M roadster and M coupe, which use mineral-based oil, and the M5 and Z8- see below). It is

strongly recommended for service use as well. Please refer to SI 11 08 98 for more information. The 5W-40 synthetic engine oil can be ordered

under P/N 07 51 0 002 545 (1 quart).

427

Vehicles filled with the High Performance Synthetic Oil (formerly "long life") also have a label applied to the front of the engine compartment

(exact locations differ slightly by model). The label has a different size and shape than that first used last year. The dimensions of the new label are

1-1/2" x 6". It can be ordered under P/N 01 00 0 002 569.

* M5 and Z8 Engine Oil:

The S62 engine in the M5 and the Z8 requires a different synthetic oil than the BMW High- Performance Synthetic Oil (5W-40) used on most other

BMWs. *

* The only approved oil for the M5 and the Z8 is Castrol Formula RS 10W-60 Synthetic Oil.*

This oil has been specially developed and formulated for BMW Motorsport. Do not use any other engine oil on S62 engines. The Castrol oil should

also be used when topping up between oil changes. If it is not available for topping up, use small amounts of synthetic engine oil meeting the API

specification SH.

Castrol Formula RS 10W-60 Synthetic Oil can be ordered under BMW P/N 07 51 0 009 420 (1 liter).

*Checking the Engine Oil Level on the M5 and Z8:*

The S62 engine requires a different procedure than conventional practice to check the oil level, which must be followed accurately to give a true

indication of the fill level:

^ the engine must be at operating temperature

^ let the engine idle for at least 15 seconds

^ turn the engine off

^ wait at least 1 minute for the oil to drain down into the sump

^ check the level using the dipstick

* Engine Oil Label for M5 and Z8:

M5 and Z8 vehicles filled with the Castrol Formula RS 10W-60 Synthetic Oil have a new label applied * to the front of the engine compartment. The

label has the same size as the "High Performance" oil label on most other BMWs, but has yellow print to distinguish it from that label. The label for

the MS and Z8 not only lists the BMW part number for the Castrol oil, but also contains the procedure described above for checking the oil level.

The MSIZ8 label can be ordered under P/N 99 00 0 001 805.

* Extended (approx. 15,000 mi) Service Interval: *

All models (except the M roadster and M coupe), including the MS and Z8, feature the extended oil change service interval.

428

Keys:

Most models as of 9/99 production feature a new style key. The key features a blue and white- colored BMW roundel in the center of the upper

surface, and a new button arrangement with sequential operation. There is no longer a serviceable battery in the key. The battery is charged by

induction from the EWS ring antenna on the steering column, which takes place during regular vehicle operation.

As a result of this new key, the operation "replace batteries in all master keys" at Inspection I is now changed to "Recharge or replace batteries for

remote controls in all vehicle master keys."

Oil Change Time Interval:

Due to improvements in oil quality provided by synthetic oil, the interval to change engine oil on vehicles driven less frequently has been increased

from 1 to a maximum of 2 years on all models except the M coupe or M roadster (engine oil may be changed as infrequently as every two years

unless indicated otherwise by the Service Interval Indicator).

Parts Information

Additional copies of the checklists for 2000 models can be ordered from Product Engineering as listed below:

A pre-printed Material Order Form is enclosed.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

2000 Model Year QCI payments will be automatically issued to BMW centers upon reporting a 2000 model year vehicle as retailed, or placing the

vehicle in service as a BMW center demonstrator or Service/Loaner vehicle. The payments, processed via a miscellaneous billing, will be based on

the display and delivery check flat rates as published and each BMW center's warranty labor rate. With this change, the QCI line item on the repair

order should be charged internally to the New Car Sales Department.

A/T - GM5 Clunk Noise

GROUP 24

Automatic Transmission

Woodcliff Lake, NJ

Service Engineering

December 2001

This Service Information bulletins supersedes S.I. 24 09 98 dated December 1998.

SUBJECT

E46 GM5 Transmission "Clunk" Noise

MODEL

E46 - 323iA, 328iA produced from 05/98 up to 03/00 with A5S360R (GM5) Transmission

SITUATION

A "Clunk Noise" is heard/felt during situations of load reversal. The situation can occur during downshifts, release of accelerator pedal at 20-30 mph

with 2000-2500 rpm or in reverse at 3000 rpm and accelerator pedal released.

This concern involves E46 vehicles with M52TU engines, fitted with transmission A5S360R until transmission serial number 162728.

CAUSE

Excessive axial clearance between transmission output shaft and transmission output flange.

CORRECTION

A production change has been implemented as of transmission serial number 162728.

In the event of a customer complaint on vehicles with a transmission serial number less than 162728 the location of the noise should be determined

during a test drive as follows:

-- With the engine warm, drive the car at a speed between 20 and 25 MPH. While traveling in this speed range, quickly release the accelerator

pedal (causing engine braking to occur).

-- If a muffled knocking noise is heard coming from the rear-axle area after going into decel mode, or shortly thereafter, then the cause is with the

transmission output flange.

Replace transmission output flange with the new version P/N 24 21 7 515 388 with spring washer as per repair instructions 24 21... (available as

of TIS CD 9/98).

-- If the noise does not appear to be coming from the rear axle area further diagnosis is required in order to isolate the source of the "clunk".

443

Recommendation would be to utilize a chassis ear to locate the source of the clunk noise.

The repair kit "Output flange with spring washer" (PN 24 21 7 515 388) can be ordered through the regular parts channels.

PROCEDURE

Installation of the kit on the transmission:

1. Remove the exhaust pipe from the vehicle as per procedure 18 00 020 "Removing and Installing complete exhaust system M52 TU".

2. Remove the propeller shaft from the transmission as per procedure 26 11 000 "Removing and Installing complete propeller shaft"

3. Hold output flange (1) with special tool 23 0 020. Remove hexagon nut. Remove output flange (1). On the transmissions from serial number

7912, remove the retainer (snap ring) from the output shaft Discard the nut, the seal 0-ring of the flange, and the retainer.

4. Prepare the retrofit kit:

5. Install new drive flange 0-ring (1) (from the kit) into the new drive flange (2) using Transmission fluid or petroleum jelly

444

6. Install the "Retainer" (1) included in the kit using snap ring wrench, as deep as possible on the output shaft (2).

Note:

Be careful to not damage lip seal when installing the "Retainer".

7. Install new drive flange with 0-ring onto the transmission output shaft and push the retainer fully into place

8. Install the spring washer (1) from the kit as shown on the drive flange (2) (big diameter face to flange 2, small diameter face to nut).

9. Apply coat of "LOCTITE 242" to the thread of the output shaft.

NOTE:

"LOCTITE 242" is the only thread locker/sealant approved for this repair, and it is available from your local Loctite distributor.

10. Tighten the new nut (1) (included gun the kit) on the output shaft using a Hexagonal M30 Socket

11. Tightening torque: 80 Nm
