It did definitely take care of the insane rattles that was a direct consequence of membranes touching the supporting structure so if you have the same issue as I then it will be a massive improvement. That said, there are still quite noticeble vibrations in the 70-120Hz range from the front...
Seems strange. If this was true and the tyres designed with a camber it should apply to winter tires as well. Running studded nordic tyres and no such thing as NO approval for those. No hassle from Porsche regarding that. Would assume that using rated tyres has to do with all-out-on-the-limit...
Very good point. I also adjust engine braking frequently based on style. For "aggressive" driving as you said you must be on the brakes all the time so doesn't really matter but for cruising or just a spirited "smooth" drive, adjusting with the throttle is nice, at least as a choice. I did have...
So, finally did all 4 doors as issue was present on all of them. Grinded down all protrusions - and voila massive improvements. Not sure if I have a "monday car" but suspect lots have the same issue. Not sure if Bose has the speaker in same location but if they do they may have same problem...
Sounds really weird unless really cold. Have a 4s CT and did 160 miles roundtrip last winter in - 15C. Car was brand new, started from garage around 0C, but had a 6 hour stopover in the cold half way. Expect slightly better now its "broken in"
Also have Burmester and agree with your assessment. Best OEM Ive had was B&O in a Q7. That was really good but also quite a bit more expensive than even the Burmester. Also have B&W in my X5, cheaper than Burm. But better. Now I must say that I haven't experienced the full potential in the...
If you refer to the lower picture, the "disc" is solid, and squeeze against the membrane creating terrible distortion (although muffled as the disc is not transparent). The upper pic is how it should be, as confirmed by my left door. I dont know why that snap - off disc is there at all - maybe...
Main reason for posting this is due to the observed design. Had a look inside left door as well and same issue, however the remaining plastic bits seems a bit lower so the membrane just clears it with aprox. 1mm. Given the small clearance and relatively rough molding, I am pretty sure others...
Agree in principle. If theyd change the inserts to proper ones ok, but Iam convinced they will just grind themselves and given they didnt even figure out the main issue after 2 attempts I dont feel too confident. Btw my grinding gear is a little heavy duty but my wife has some nice little...
Top pic shows how its supposed to be, bottom how it was... Thick plate in front of speaker. When smapping it off, there are still small remains of plastic from the "cross" remaining, interfering with the woofer suspension, distorting the sound. Put washers under the woofer to increase distance...
Its not the speaker itself but the internal FRP door insert acting as support and"front baffle" that is the problem. Suspect they must have changed supplier during covid or something, and not checked tolerancees as it is really a silly error
So, not going into Burmester vs Bose discussion, but chose burmester based on demo car listening. however, not been happy with it. Too much rattles and resonances at elevated volumes, which I thought was due to insufficient s stiffening /deadening of the panels. However after some investigation...
Only 4 months in, think I have experienced almost all the software niggles that has been duly described and discussed on this forum, but luckily they have sorted themselves out (for now). Crossing fingers for the infamous heater. Thing is I don't care, and neither does the wife. Had software...
Little off topic here but if the chinese members care to share some insight Im curious to know how the chinese home market rate the different domestic brands wrt. Quality. We have quite a few represented here, although not all models: BYD, NIO, XPENG, MG, HONGQI, POLESTAR, and probably ZEEKR soon.
Not a fabric expert, but have had partial leathe racetex / alcantara / microfiber equivalents on numerous cars and been very satisfied with quality, tear and wear. Looks as new after years, much more comfortable to sit in while the additional partial leather bits get worn an wrinkly. Easy to...
That mamba green must be the best colour, even when dirty. My main regret with our car was not being able to convince my wife. She did accept cherry red however, which is stunning as well but only like twice a year... Has to be absolutely spottless to shine, rather dull otherwise. Envy those of...
