Re: Assistance for Pedestrian Protection System
It is technically inaccurate; the system would undergo servicing every five years by BMW, maintaining a complete main dealer history, due to the limited lifespan of the gas rams. If you purchased a 10-year-old automobile that had never had these components maintained and they failed to deploy, there...

Re: Audible, fast ticking emanating from the N/S/R during vigorous acceleration.
I believe you may be accurate; the handbrake was engaging at a high position when I acquired it, but today it successfully held on a steep incline at the second notch, only to revert to a higher position later. This suggests that the cable is loose, so I will inspect it over the weekend. Thank you f...

Audible, fast ticking emanating from the N/S/R during vigorous acceleration.
The aforementioned occurs and resembles an erratic electrical relay to the whole universe. The situation is more detrimental for rear passengers. The vehicle operates well, however.

Re: Alert indicators when towing
A new requirement for the 2025 model may be mandated by EU regulations to alert the driver when towing that the assistance features are disabled. The owner's handbook may contain the information; however, updates are not always timely, resulting in vehicles being shipped with outdated manuals. My 20...

Re: Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video
The pads appear to have been recently replaced, as seen by the presence of the chamfered edge and the new pad exhibiting wear on the rust lip. The pads will merely contact the disc, which is very normal. I would suggest that the brakes are the source of the noise. Have you attempted to apply the bra...

Indeed, the green component serves as the lock; at the top, carefully manoeuvre the locating tangs outward and subsequently slide the clip. It does not require total removal; only press the other component to detach the pipe from the filter output.
