Hi

I have found that the trim is loose, and has no fixings in the points 11 & 13 detailed below..........just blank holes fixed to fresh air behind 😞

I am struggling to locate a diagram that details how/where points 11 & 13 fix too........if at all??

The other side is absolutely solid 😞

Please can someone advise.

Many thanks

Hi All

I spoke to the local authorized BMW Colchester dealer, and advised car reg number + full details of the issue.

I was amazed at the lack of assistance/knowledge 😬

I explained that I was attempting to trace the actual part/s that the push fit rivets (No 11 & 13) attached too. I explained that my car has 'fresh air' behind the No 2 wheel arch, only open mounting holes.

All I got was "you have to know what you are after" (and was presented with the same drawing as above).............my reply "that's the problem, whatever was supposed to be there is missing......how am I supposed to know what was there in the first place.......if at all"

Does anyone have a BMW Series 1 E88 Convertible 2011, who can assist in resolving the mystery............a photo would be a life saver 😁

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
