Bmw f13 640d 12 litres of water found in boot help!
Morning Kashem Welcome to the Forum Matts post is a few years old and he never did follow up to let us know if he fixed it or sold the car The iDrive is built into the CiC Infotainment system in the front of the car the iDrive controller is also at the front. What is in the boot is the active sound controller and may be the Amp. A diagnostic scan using a BMW capable scanner should help identify where the issue is. First thing is get rid of the water and try to find where its coming in and fix that. Then check the fuses front and rear also check the loom carefully beneath the fuse board in the rear BMW use a cable jointing system that compress's copper wires together they are then covered with a clear plastic sleeve (see the attached picture) in the picture the thin green wires and Orange green trace are for the Can Bus system the black colour is corrosion 3 of 5 wires just fell out when I moved them I cut off the splice and remade the joint with solder and a shrinkwrap cover. I have found this now on 5 different BMW's that friends and family have brought to me with Can bus problems everything from radio not working nav stopped access system issues lights not working If you have had water in there I guess the loom has been submerged so worth a check in my X5 they were bundled in the main loom right beneath the fuse board and rear light (which leaked) I remade all the 5 splices you see in the picture Hope it helps Dave -

MW F30 330E FLYWHEEL COMPATIBILITY
Morning Mish If they are listed in realoem then they should fit one point with DMF replacement make sure new flywheel bolts are included and fitted. My neighbour has an Uprated 330i had a new DMF clutch etc and within 3months was suffering similar symptoms to a failing DMF the garage he used hadn't used new bolts but tried to convince him it was his uprated engine and his driving style that caused premature failure they were telling him he needed a new DMF. A fiddle but we got his car high enough on some hired Jack ramps and when we pulled the box the DMF was actually loose 8 new DMF bolts about £25 and Torqueing them correctly fixed his problem that was 2 years ago now with no issue since.

Air bag fault
Good morning Dave True, the one I got ad 79k, full BMW service history and I had to replace almost all gaskets, o rings, hoses, abs sensors, seals, and I still don’t have a fault free car. Although I have just serviced the car, it looks that I should replace the oil sensor just to be on the safe side, I am using the car for family holidays so the last thing I want is to be stranded. Thank you for the support. Very much appreciated!! Take care Dimitri- 1
