Hi all. Can anyone recommend decent tailgate struts for my e91. I’ve tried a few but they don’t seem to last more than a year or so and I don’t wanna pay main dealer prices. TIA

Hi Kevin

I bought a pair of bonnet struts for my E93 18 months ago as the originals were deemed "out of date" and therefore unsafe.

The pair I bought were from Europarts and have been fine so far.

I guess a lot will depend on how often you open and close the boot. I would expect the design criteria would probably be for opening the boot maybe once a week for the average user so if you are using the boot more often, perhaps several times a day, then the life expectancy will be significantly shorter.

Hope this helps,

John

      X1 problems with connectivity and Carplay

      Morning John Welcome to the Forum The cause could be an issue with your phone, though I think as you are having the issue with two seperate phones that can be ruled out (it will be a Dealers first comment) There could be an issue with the cars Diversity/Bluetooth antenna or even the CiC/NBT media system As the car is less than a year old what is the Dealer doing to sort it ? Have a Great Christmas Dave

      Rumble at rear left under acceleration

      Morning Carl Welcome to the Forum Without hearing/feeling the noise we are all guessing in the dark First stop for me would be check the Wheel and Tyre, then the Wheel Bearing and Carrier, then the Drive shaft The fun part is if your doing one side don't forget the other side if your in there changing major parts I would buy a rebuild kit and do the rear suspension as well Have a great Christmas Dave

      Rumble at rear left under acceleration

      Hi, I've had this F20 for almost a year but has started a rumble noise and I can feel it to. Basically this rumble comes from the rear left when under hard acceleration at only certain revs, I'm thinking a bad drive shaft maybe ? I have a few other things in mind that it could be but thought I'd give this a go to see if anyone knows the exact problem to save me waisting time looking at the wrong culprits 😅 Thanks in advance and hope you all enjoyed Christmas 👍

      X1 problems with connectivity and Carplay

      X1 25e 2024. Intermittent problem with CarPlay , Android Auto and Bluetooth. Started off by not automatically connecting, sort by turning off car, locking, unlocking and starting car. Progressively has got worse. Have connected through cable, without cable, Bluetooth and still won’t work. Have deleted on phone and then tried to search but won’t connect. Have rebooted my phone, same for my wife who has an android phone. will now delete our profiles and then restore. After that I have run out of ideas. Fault appear to be that Bluetooth is not being broadcast by the car. Any ideas what to do next would be appreciated
