Morning Ben Welcome to the Forum Never actually seen this but from what I read it is normally the Halo LED's failing and needing replacement Dave

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

I am just about to purchase my first X3 and I am looking into ghost immobilisers. However in the mean time will be using a steering lock i have a stop lock pro that i use for my 3 serise would anyone recommend a disk lock instead or would mine be ok? Also what are people's thoughts on the ghost immobiliser? Thanks

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

It's just driving on regular roads. The rattling noise comes from the trunk area. When I get on the freeway and drive 60 or 70 mph, the sound goes away. Will probably have to take into dealership to see what's going on. Very strange and annoying sound for a well built german car.

Hi John Welcome to the Forum What are the roads like before you get on the Freeway? Could be a loose Heat shield, or suspension bush gone Dave

Hi Harry Welcome to the Forum Try looking at www.fusecheck.com/bmw/bmw-x1-f48-2016-2022-fuse-diagram That should give you what you need Dave

Our BMW 5 has recently started making rattling sound when driving. I can’t figure out what is causing this issue but it’s annoying. funny thing is that the rattling sound stops when you get on the freeway and drive between 60 to 70 mph. Any ideas?

Good morning. Do you know the location for the battery ?

Hi, Please could somebody send me a copy of the fuse sheet (both sides) that should be located in the fuse box in the glove compartment? For whatever reason mine is missing. Thanks.

Morning Hay Welcome to the Forum Is it nagging you because the sibscription has expired ? Or possibly just a flat back up battery. A Diagnostic scan would confirm it Dave

Morning Radford Welcome to the Forum A diagnostic session is needed plus wiring checked for continuity to identify just what the issue is Dave

My 2012 135i left park lamp is on and very dim. Will not turn off.

Good morning I have a 2013 x5 with a SOS malfunction light that comes on when I first start the car

Hi BMW e66 is it possible to fit a smaller steering wheel ?

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

Interesting I’ve had nothing since they told me to come and collect the car !

Received a call from the dealer this week, car has been cleared and I can come and collect it. Dealer gave me a pile of BMW goodies and BMW were left with a large hire car bill for the 7 1/2 weeks they have had my car.

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, is there a recommended change out period for air filter and Pollen filters on the 6 series, E64. Currently air filter and cabin pollen filters are 2023. Any advice or thoughts gratefully received. Car does about 3.5K miles per annum.

I have just got my X3 back from dealership and both my digital Speedo and my Bluetooth are not working.when I asked about Speedo, I got told it is because bmw also carry out an upgrade when replacing EGC and that could be the problem and they would have to speak to warranty regarding if they can repair it.Now,when I asked about my Bluetooth they said that because it was not a bmw fitted Bluetooth and it was after market it was nothing to do with them it’s KUFATEC FISON and I have never had any problems in the 7 years I have owned the car. Has anyone experienced the same problems
