Hi all

Just picked up my 57 plate 116i sport today. Few things I want to add to it.

Firstly I want to convert to HID's. Not sure if car is CAN bus though???

Secondly I would like to add the bluetooth phone equipment to the car as I have the button on steering wheel but it does nothing. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Byron.

You'll need the BT module that resides in the boot with all the other AV modules...

Buy a HID kit which is error-free, that should do it ! ;)

As you've got a 57 plate, I'd first make sure if it's either a pre-FL or a FL model, as these apparently have a slightly different electronics setup for driving lights. HID for a pre-FL won't work with a FL model.

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Morning ! firstly, check the battery. amazing what a dead cell or discharging battery will do. the fact that they sometimes go away while driving could be that the battery gets enough charge from the alternator that journey, but loses charge next time you fire it up.

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Our BMW 220d xtrail 2014 is lighting up like a Christmas tree on every journey with various faults pinging on screen. We have been to the local garage numerous times but there are no faults. Sometimes the faults disappear during the journey on their own or vanish when you turn the engine off then on again. Same 3 faults each time as well. Before we take it into a dealership we thought it would be useful to ask if anyone else has had similar problems & what it was. On screen it comes up with the following faults:- 1) Front end collision warning restricted 2) Parking brake only partially working 3) Driving stabilisation fault Fingers crossed.
