Anybody has the same problem with my 3?

There is knocking on the front left hand side when going uphill(ONLY uphill) at around 2,000-2,500 RPM. Already have spring protectors installed. Brought it to the dealership yesterday and they told be they just did bolt tightening but when I tested it, its still there.

btw wag ka pumayag na silip lang gawin sa shock mount, cause mine looked OK kahit tanggalin yun rubber cover. pero after baklasin, kulang na ng bulitas yun bearing

I'm using the ctek ct5 because my M3 uses the enhanced flooded battery for iStop. I also use the ct5 for ordinary motolite battery used in 4 older cars. It was able to extend the ordinary battery up to 3 years (by average the batt would last between 1.5 to 2 years).

Thank you sir. How long do you charge your M3 using sa CT5? Is it okay to charge even you just purchased a new battery?

You can leave it plugged w/o limit when parked. New batt or old.

I charge my M3's battery daily, takes about 2 to 3 hours to full charge. Sometimes I would leave it charging overnight.

It's ok to use ctek with a new battery. In fact it's highly recommended.
