Those are real fault codes for the gearbox. Your dealer is fobbing you off. That is clearly a warranty claim. You need to try another dealer, pay...
You definitely want to get rid of the swirls before ceramic coating. The coating does fill the swirls but if it doesn't you've sealed them in!!...
That is the right oil. Shell 1375.4 is exactly the same as genuine LG6. That is a good price. You can go cheaper if you feel lucky - Mannol do...
Those look like the culprits. In my experience Meyle can be hit or miss. I really like Delphi parts but I can't say I've had BMW control arms...
I use these people all the time now: https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/ Reliable, you get exactly what you order. If there's a problem you actually...
It's quite likely to be the big bush at the front of the thrust arm. They're silicone filled and eventually split. The silicone leaks out and now...
That lead is what you need. The software they supply for free is very very old and complex to use. It probably will read the gearbox oil temps...
I'm not sure ISTA is officially available outside of BMW dealers. Should you find a copy it's not that hard to install because it's a Windows...
Ideally you want to be using ISTA on a laptop with a special lead. The easy solution is a C310 scanner. It should read all modules.

What exactly is the message you get. If it's "increased battery discharge" that usually means somethings been left on and is running the battery...
That's really odd, first why did they repair scratches under warranty. Secondly polishing glass is extremely difficult and is likely to affect the...
It looks like you've found the problem - or at least one definite problem. Most people don't change the gasket, I'm not even sure there is a...
The B58 40i petrol engine is now well known to be one of the best engines BMW have ever made and one the best engines across all brands....
Odd not to have any fault codes, however, how cold is the car when you have the problem? Even in the summer for the first 10 miles, or only on icy...
Right, well you are wise not to open it. Well until at least you are ready to deal with it. There are two main problems. First the plastic guides...
Try a deep 10mm socket on those studs and see if it grabs a nut.
I can't remember if the back of my alternator looked exactly like your picture - I think it was different. On mine I'm pretty sure the back cover...
