Installed new battery, direct replacement, $189 from AutoZone. One thing that is different - hole for vent hose if slightly large, had to use a tiny piece of electric tape to make it snug.

Don't you normally need to code the battery in to avoid problems? One of those silly BMW things

Yes, the second picture on my post is exactly that - success from ISTA+

After a cold stretch here in Seattle my trusty 2011 X3 was having some trouble starting. It would always start eventually, but seemed to be struggling. Finally got a trickle charger and tested the main battery....yep, low voltage. Charged it up, and purring like a kitten again!

My X3 with N55 comes to the end of CPO warranty, so I decided to run Velvtronic test to check the condition (wife drives it so I am not sure if Velvtronic is used in full range).

First ran "Open global VTC limit position adaptation (ABL-DIT-AS1214_TVD_VVAL_RDDP)" - this thing finds lower point of resistance on the camshaft. Takes a few seconds, simple message "Limit positions successfully learnt.". You can hear it hit the limit quite clear (engine was off).

Thought it was not enough and next did "Valvetronic servomotor (ABL-DIT-T1214_TVD_VVMO2)" - this one makes you to start the engine, waits till catalytic is up to the temp, then starts moving Vavltronic in the full range every few seconds. Very clear sound on the move , and when it gets to min position engine almost chokes. Then it slowly moves the range. Mine was from 29° to 183° on the shaft. Hope it is normal. All takes about 3-4 minutes.

No faults after that, ECU is clean. I think I am in a good stand.

Oil change and air filter change today at 47k miles on our '17 35i. First service it's needed since the complimentary stuff ran out. My wife racks up the miles on this thing!

I did the same.

Your engine bay looks clean.

Yeah, wife's commute is 30 miles each way, four days a week. The X3 has been from PA to Central FL and back, and is the car we take whenever we go anywhere as a family. Adds up quickly.

...that's what a car is for-driving! I'm retired and put 15K and sometimes more miles on my car every year.

Nice wheels. Focal speakers only? Did you replaced all of them?

looks good !

I'll do the same soon, I have 2 sets of style 132.

Can't decide right now if I'm gonna go with a squared setup (all 10'' wheels), or staggered. Rear wheel are way more concave than front...




but just right after i figure those code out ( all of them are intermittent; probable cause : old gas, bad battery, missfire (coil packs) or jb+)

I pulled off my JB4 and port injection today. Installed the XDI-35 pump with a custom braided AN line with inline filter, then did the OFHG gaskets. Busy day.
