On my previous car once I switched on the ignition I got a message on a cold morning "Pre-heating please wait". When the message went off the screen I then started the car.

On my current BMW the message does not come on the screen until I start the car and so I can't wait before starting.

Is this normal?

Not a diseasel driver Liam, however on my Brother inlaws 535 he gets an orange coil symbol it goes out after about 10 secs if you wait. He never waits and the car always starts first turn his car is also now mega miles as he commutes regularly to Holland for business.

So dont know if that helps or not

      Rumble at rear left under acceleration

      Morning Carl Welcome to the Forum Without hearing/feeling the noise we are all guessing in the dark First stop for me would be check the Wheel and Tyre, then the Wheel Bearing and Carrier, then the Drive shaft The fun part is if your doing one side don't forget the other side if your in there changing major parts I would buy a rebuild kit and do the rear suspension as well Have a great Christmas Dave

      Rumble at rear left under acceleration

      Hi, I've had this F20 for almost a year but has started a rumble noise and I can feel it to. Basically this rumble comes from the rear left when under hard acceleration at only certain revs, I'm thinking a bad drive shaft maybe ? I have a few other things in mind that it could be but thought I'd give this a go to see if anyone knows the exact problem to save me waisting time looking at the wrong culprits 😅 Thanks in advance and hope you all enjoyed Christmas 👍

      X1 problems with connectivity and Carplay

      X1 25e 2024. Intermittent problem with CarPlay , Android Auto and Bluetooth. Started off by not automatically connecting, sort by turning off car, locking, unlocking and starting car. Progressively has got worse. Have connected through cable, without cable, Bluetooth and still won’t work. Have deleted on phone and then tried to search but won’t connect. Have rebooted my phone, same for my wife who has an android phone. will now delete our profiles and then restore. After that I have run out of ideas. Fault appear to be that Bluetooth is not being broadcast by the car. Any ideas what to do next would be appreciated
