Morning Mike Welcome to the Forum Sadly we do live in times where extra protection is needed The good old Stop Lock is an excellent visual deterent. Whether the investment in a ghost immobiliser as well is worth the money no one can say untill it is needed. Personally the Stop Lock would be my choice (I use one when we are away from home) Dave

Morning Frank Welcome to the Forum Are you thinking of after market or BMW ? Also raises the question why ? If BMW then as long as it has the same functions and air bag connections I would think you could find one from other models. Try a search on www.realoem.com to see if there are any cross refference parts Dave

Morning John You do know your German car is built in South Carolina 😅 If nothing is loose in the Boot then I would still be looking for Loose Heat Shields or worn Suspension parts (Drop Link or Anti Roll Bar Bushes) Dave - Last week

What additive did you use? Sorry if I'm missing where you wrote it -

Hi Ian Welcome to the Forum I think I would be writing to the Service Director with a copy to BMW Customer Services UK The EGR Cooler should have had nothing to do with the Speedo or your Bluetooth they have a Duty of Care while your car is in their workshop. As the Digital Speedo and Bluetooth were operating when it went in they should be when it came out The only thing I can think is they disconected some thing that didn't need disconnecting which is a worry as it would indicate a level of misunderstanding or even incompetence Dave

Hi Paul I would check the Cabin Filters mine on the E70 were damp and as a result smelly. Air Filter should be fine with a hoover as the miles are so low My Milage is higher than yours between 4 to 6k so I oil and filter change annually Dave

Hi all, Could someone tell me if there is a way to turn off the delay for the dashboard lights when I turn off the ignition. I read somewhere that if you turn the stop start on then off again after you have turned the ignition off that could do it, sadly it didn’t. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jackie

New here - just a couple of questions if I may
Greydog replied to VinceH's topic in BMW 5 Series Forum
Hi Derek Check history very carefully some of the earlier 2.0d suffered timing chain issues and I believe BMW recommended timing chain replacement but cant recall the mileage (old Blokes brain fade) but if it's 100k then it could be costly as I believe it's engine out. Google may help more The 5 series are great cars by the way Dave -
Hi Dave Have you tried Black Circles they have always been helpfull, them and my Local Tyre Specialist Dave

Hi Dave, It appears that my Ista+ was out of date and the idrive(ecu) software in the vehicle is running the 2018 version, therefore, reading the vehicle with the up to date remote ista from the dealership shows there is nothing wrong with the car. It's already booked for a software update with the 2025 version Thanks!

Morning Annamaria Welcome to the Forum As with any purchase of a Second hand car it falls on you to make all the checks you can if your not able/capable then ask someone who is to check for you. There may be a charge from people like the AA/RAC or similar but at least you will feel confident in your decision. Just asking on a Forum could get conflicting advice as no one but you has actually seen the car? Well I assume you have have had hands on it Good Hunting Dave

Maybe the i3/i8 section or maybe double post there and For Sale section Dave

It's a good thought and may be able to create one in the near future when updating the site

Nice looking motor, don't forget, when driving in sport mode on auto you lose all engine breaking and can get out of shape very easily.

Afternoon Stephen Welcome to the Forum Most Relays are with the Fuse box but thats on the passenger side behind the Glove Box It could be the consumer relay that I think is behind the Instrument cluster Could it be something in the Ventilation system a flap control possibly Not really much help but difficult to diagnose without hearing just where its coming from Dave
