So….. replaced the airbox and both inlet and outlet cam sensors… ran like an absolute dream for about 100 miles. Now the eml has come on and showing p0012 on a generic scanner. It’s running lumpy on tickover. oli is fine, no vacuum leaks as far as I can tell. possible timing chain? is it a big job on the mini? -

Replacement options for brake pads on the 2021 BMW X3
Hello group, I have a 2021 BMW X3 with only 22k miles. It looks like I may need to replace the brake pads soon. There are only a few millimeters left. I don't know why those pads are going so fast. On my previous BMW, the brakes were like new after 40k, and my driving style did not change. My only guess is that manufacturing quality went down. In any case, I have a few questions: What is the best replacement option for brake pads in my car? Semi-metallic or ceramic? Which brand? Do I need to replace rotors, or is refacing acceptable? If I take the car to the BMW dealership, they will stand for the OEM pads and new rotors. Thank you in advance, Alex -

X Drive and Snow/Ice
As I mentioned earlier, here in East Texas, (my home is about 100 m east of the DFW area), hunting is very popular. Members of my family and some of my employees are avid hunters. I have always enjoyed shooting and firearm cleaning/maintenance. My father gave me my first gun, a 22 Marlin bolt action, when I was 8 years old. And looking at it from a hobby point of view, my attraction to any particular firearm is driven heavily by its style and looks. For example, you have a Browning. I think that the Browing Citori and Cynergy over/unders are one of the most beautiful firearms on the market. And the Marlin 336 lever action is one of my favorite looking ones. I have one in 30-30 caliber. I also have a Winchester 94 in 30-30, not that I need two lever action 30-30s, but I just like the look of both, so I want one of each in my gun safe. My father had a Browing semi auto as his main fowling piece. Are lever action rifles popular in your area? My father was more into duck hunting around ponds and marshes, as opposed to deer. But for some reason, although I enjoyed target practice and general shooting for recreation, I just never develop a liking for hunting. Maybe it was because my father, when I was quite young, used me as his retriever. He would shoot the bird, then it was my job to have my rubber waders on and go find it. But it is more likely because I am just too lazy to get out and hunt, then clean and prep. -

Can't Figure Out An Icon
Would he happen to also know what I inadvertently pressed to make that arrowhead appear yesterday? It was never there before. And, how more importantly, how do I make it go away? I have never used Sport mode, neither has my husband. I have never used the paddles on the steering wheel either, at least not intentionally! Thanks again for your reply! ~Susan -

Just spoke with my Brother inlaw he says its Sport+ stiffer suspension faster gear changes (Manual) and allows paddle shifting at the steering wheel he also thought the arrow head was always there? He also said after a couple of times using he grew out of it 🤣 it it now lives in D Dave
