Pay close attention ⚠️⚠️

When an automatic transmission jerks when shifting gears, you need to look beyond the oil and check how the sensors and solenoids are communicating with the ECU.

⚙️ Input Speed ​​Sensor: Measures the RPMs coming from the torque converter to the input shaft. If its reading is erratic, the ECU can't synchronize the shift and generates a jerk when the internal clutch engages.

👉 Common codes: P0715, P0716, P0717.

⚙️ Output Speed ​​Sensor: Indicates the actual speed of the output shaft. If its signal is lost or distorted, the computer "thinks" the vehicle is going slower or faster than it actually is, causing harsh or delayed shifts.

👉 Common codes: P0720, P0721, P0722, P0723.

⚡ Shift solenoids: These regulate the hydraulic pressure applied to each clutch. When one becomes stuck due to debris or is out of electrical range (P0750–P0770), the shift is jarring because the pressure rises uncontrollably, causing the gear to engage abruptly.

Additionally, a damaged or leaking internal pressure accumulator within the valve body can also cause this type of shifting. This component absorbs the hydraulic shock between gear changes; if it's stuck, the pressure acts directly on the clutch plates, generating the characteristic clunk.

Know this!!!
✅✅✅✅
The MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor measures the internal pressure of the intake manifold so the ECU can accurately calculate engine load, the amount of air entering the engine, and consequently, the injection timing and ignition advance. When the sensor is dirty, clogged with vaporized oil, carbon deposits, or residue from the crankcase ventilation system, its signal becomes distorted. Instead of delivering a stable reading proportional to the actual pressure, it begins to send a voltage outside the expected range (typically between 0.5V and 4.5V). This causes the ECU to interpret an incorrect load, directly affecting the air-fuel mixture and throttle response.

The result is a sluggish engine with an unstable idle, poor acceleration, loss of torque on inclines, and, in many cases, high fuel consumption. The most common associated codes are P0106, P0107, P0108, and even P0300 misfire code when the mixture becomes too rich or too lean. The solution isn't to replace the sensor immediately, but rather to inspect the manifold, check for oil leaking from a PCV valve, clean the sensor only with electronic sensor cleaner (not carburetor cleaner), and confirm that the pressure reading is consistent with the engine vacuum. Once corrected, the improvement in engine response is immediate.

Comparison between the engine used in the BMW 8 Series (G-generation) and the Mercedes‑Benz OM656 engine covering technical specs, characteristics, advantages and trade-offs.

BMW 8 Series Engine
The BMW 8 Series in its recent G-generation uses several petrol and diesel powertrains. For example, the 3.0 litre B58 turbocharged inline-6 petrol produces around 335 hp and 500 Nm of torque in the 840i Gran Coupé version. In the petrol V8 version (like the M850i), a 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8 produces around 523 hp and 750 Nm of torque. The BMW engine family emphasises high revs, strong petrol performance, advanced technology (turbocharging, direct injection, variable valving) and is geared toward dynamic driving. One of its strengths is its versatility—BMW offers multiple engine variants under the 8 Series umbrella, allowing buyers to pick a performance or more relaxed version depending on needs. The trade-offs include generally higher fuel consumption (especially petrol models), higher running costs, and complexity from the turbo systems and performance tuning.

Mercedes-Benz OM656 Engine
The OM656 is a modular 3.0 litre straight-six diesel engine introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 2017. It uses aluminium alloy block and head, twin turbocharging (or twin-scroll turbo plus e-booster in some variants), common-rail direct injection, and a high compression ratio (15.5 : 1) for diesel. Power output varies by version: from approximately 210 kW (286 hp) and 600 Nm torque, up to 250 kW + 15 kW (≈335 hp) and 750 Nm torque in top variants. The OM656’s strengths lie in diesel efficiency, strong low-end torque (which makes the car feel effortless in everyday driving, especially for high-load or long-distance applications), and lower fuel consumption compared to large petrol engines. The trade-offs include less high-revving character (diesels typically have lower rev ceiling), less “sporting” sound/feel compared to high-performance petrol engines, and sometimes higher weight due to turbo systems and the robust construction required for diesel.

Comparative Highlights

In terms of engine character, the BMW 8 Series petrol engines deliver sharper response, higher revs, more performance-feel and are tuned for dynamic driving. The OM656 diesel from Mercedes is tuned for efficiency, low-end torque, smooth cruising and everyday usability rather than outright sporty revving.

Regarding torque delivery, the OM656 diesel has very strong low-rpm torque (600-750 Nm from about 1,200-3,200 rpm) which makes it feel effortless when accelerating from low speeds. The BMW petrol engines may deliver somewhat less torque in those low-rpm ranges (especially the 3.0-litre variant) but compensate with high rev capability and strong horsepower.

For use cases, if you drive often over long distances, carry loads or value fuel economy and smoothness, the OM656 diesel engine is a very compelling choice. If you prioritise driving dynamics, high-performance acceleration, sporting feel and enjoy petrol engine characteristics, the BMW 8 Series engine family will appeal more.

In maintenance and ownership, diesel engines like the OM656 may offer better fuel efficiency and can be robust, but diesel turbo systems and emissions systems (like AdBlue, particulate filters) may add complexity. Petrol high-performance BMW engines may incur higher running costs (fuel, tyres, servicing) but deliver a more thrilling experience.

In market positioning, the BMW 8 Series engines are geared toward premium performance grand tourers, while the OM656 represents Mercedes’s push to modernise diesel straight-six engines with efficiency and luxury refinement.

My verdict: If it were up to me and I had to choose based on a mix of performance and daily usability, I'd lean toward the BMW 8 Series petrol engine for its dynamic character and driving enjoyment. But if I wanted a luxury car with strong torque, excellent mid-range power, long-distance comfort and better fuel economy, I’d choose the Mercedes OM656 diesel engine.

Amazing piece !!!
😌😌😌😌
BMW 8 Series

The BMW 8 Series offers a blend of grand-tour luxury and strong performance. Depending on the version, it may come with a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six or a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, delivering high power yet keeping daily usability in mind. The ride quality is refined, the cabin is comfortable and well-appointed, and the car balances performance with convenience. It’s a car you can drive in a variety of settings long distance, comfortable commute or spirited drive. Practicality is better than a pure supercar: four seats, good build quality and premium materials all around.

Lamborghini Revuelto

The Lamborghini Revuelto is a hyper-performance machine rooted in exotic design, extreme engineering and supercar intensity. It features a plug-in hybrid V12 system towards the top end of performance in production cars, delivering enormous power (報 around 1000 hp) and blistering acceleration. The styling is wildly aggressive, the driving feel is razor-sharp, and everything about the Revuelto emphasises speed, drama and exclusivity. Practicality is minimal relative to its capability: seating is tight, rear-seat usability limited (in many cases), and it’s built for thrill more than daily convenience.

Comparative View

In comparing the two, the BMW 8 Series is the more balanced car: high performance, premium luxury, and real-world usability. You could drive it daily, take passengers, use it for longer trips, feel comfortable and still enjoy spirited drives. The Lamborghini Revuelto is the opposite extreme: built for performance, spectacle and supercar sensation, but less about comfort, daily practicality or ease of use. The emphasis is on emotions, performance thresholds and exclusivity.

My Perspective
If I were choosing between them, based on wanting both performance and usability, I’d pick the BMW 8 Series. It gives me a lot of premium experience and driving pleasure without the extreme compromises of a supercar. If I wanted the ultimate performance and didn’t care about cost, comfort or everyday practicality, then I’d choose the Lamborghini Revuelto.

Do this!!

Does your car pull to one side while driving?

That’s often a sign of bad wheel alignment — a small issue that can cause big problems for safety and tire life.

📌 What is Wheel Alignment?

It’s the adjustment of the angles between your car’s wheels and the road surface so that all wheels point perfectly straight and work together.

📌 Main Alignment Angles:

1️⃣ Camber:
Tilt of the wheel inward or outward at the top.

Incorrect camber causes uneven tire wear.

2️⃣ Caster:
Forward or backward tilt of the steering axis.

Affects steering stability and high-speed control.

3️⃣ Toe:
Direction of the wheels inward or outward from the front.

Misalignment leads to fast, uneven tire wear.

📌 Signs of Bad Alignment:

Car pulls to one side while driving

Steering wheel vibration at high speed

Uneven tire wear

Steering feels off-center or heavy

📌Pro Mechanic Tip:

Get your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 km or after hitting a pothole or changing tires.
Proper alignment = safer driving + longer tire life

Mercedes‑Maybach S‑Class

The Maybach S-Class is positioned at the very top of luxury sedans, combining advanced engineering with handcrafted finishes. One key specification: the 6.0 L V12 biturbo version delivers around 621 hp and 900 Nm of torque in certain markets.
When you step into the cabin, you find features such as executive-rear seats, ambient lighting, ultra-quiet isolation, extensive use of leather and wood trim, and rear-seat entertainment or control panels. These details make it feel more like a private lounge on wheels than a typical sedan.
On the road the Maybach S-Class drives with smoothness and confidence its air suspension, sound insulation and luxurious ambience deliver a supremely calm experience. While it has the power to accelerate swiftly, the emphasis is more on serene comfort than on sharp handling. The trade-offs include its very high cost, large size and maintenance expense.
In summary, if your priority is unrivalled luxury, rear-seat comfort, exclusivity and a refined drive, the Maybach S-Class is among the very best you can choose.

BMW 7 Series

The BMW 7 Series serves as BMW’s flagship luxury sedan, offering a mix of technology, performance and comfort. For instance, the 2025 model range offers petrol, plug-in hybrid and V8 powertrains; one example is the 740i showing around 375 hp.
Inside, the 7 Series features high-tech displays, luxury materials, optional executive rear seating, air suspension and BMW’s latest infotainment and comfort features. The ride is refined, yet the car retains a degree of sportiness consistent with BMW’s driver-focus identity.
On the road the BMW 7 Series balances luxe comfort with capable driving dynamics: you get a premium sedan that handles more sharply than many luxury saloons while still offering the comfort of a top-tier executive car. The trade-offs are that while extremely premium, it may lack the ultimate exclusivity and “butler-driven lounge” ambiance of a Maybach.
In summary, the BMW 7 Series is ideal for a driver who wants luxury, technology and performance in one package, suitable for both driving themselves and carrying passengers in comfort.

Comparative Perspective

When you compare the two side by side:

In terms of luxury and exclusivity, the Maybach S-Class is at a higher level handcrafted finishes, very large rear-seat comfort focus, and the kind of presence few cars offer.

In terms of driving engagement and versatility, the BMW 7 Series offers more driver-oriented features and sharper dynamics while still maintaining luxury.

For rear-seat occupants and chauffeured use, the Maybach likely provides a more sumptuous and quiet rear cabin experience. For someone who will drive the car themselves more often, the 7 Series may feel more satisfying.

Cost and exclusivity differ: Maybach models cost significantly more, have greater upkeep and may require more specialized service. The 7 Series delivers a lot of luxury at a relatively more accessible level in the same class.

If your priority is being driven in ultimate comfort and luxury, the Maybach is unmatched. If your priority is a luxury sedan you’ll both drive and be driven in, with the best balance of comfort and performance, the 7 Series is an excellent choice.
