I'm pleased to hear that you have successfully restored its functionality.

Re: The BMW N42 fails to start subsequent to the replacement of the valve seals.

It is difficult to see how they might be inadequately positioned, considering they are referenced in a guide and secured by the rope.
As previously said, verify the valve clearance.

Do not assume that this action will distort the skull.
The camera's orientation is correct; but, I am uncertain about this engine. Last year, I saw a vehicle with the intake and exhaust incorrectly positioned.

Re: Essential reader guidance for a 2013 E82 1 Series 118d.

Indeed, someone indicated that it will just plug in and function without the need for programming. Consequently, I got a new one yesterday, and I hope this resolves the sporadic starting issue.
Thank you for your response.

Essential reader guidance for a 2013 E82 1 Series 118d.

I would appreciate any guidance, please.
I own a 2013 E82 1 Series. Does anybody know whether replacing the key reader only requires reconnection, or is software necessary for functionality?
I appreciate your assistance in advance.
