Hi, on my 2016 2 series active tourer 220i Iget a message come up on screen when I switch on or off my ignition. I of course checked that the parking brake is definitely on and working satisfactory. I know what the problem is as occurs on other bmw models as well as bmw mini's. It is almost certainty a small broken spring in the gear selector unit that is located inside the car and is used to select Park/Drive/Reverse etc. Bmw know all about this spring and there is an article on how to replace it on Utube. However bmw will not replace the spring but will replace the whole selector unit. Does anyone know the cost of having this unit replaced by bmw. I spoke to bmw and they will not give me an answer. They tell me that they will have to plug in reader to check what the problem is and that test is £160. I have a Bmw assured warranty and I don't know if this unit is covered for replacement under this warranty. Any info on this matter would be appreciated. 

Regards Billy Boy

      Replaced key battery still can't unlock car

      First post, just bought a 2019 1 series sport. Replaced the key fob battery as requested, but the key still doesn't work for unlocking/locking car. It's still asking me to replace the battery, read this goes after a few cycles of locking and unlocking. Locks/unlocks fine on mybmw app. Does the Key need resinking, not sure how long it would have been flat for? TIA

      Rear View mirror has come off windscreen screen

      Hi all, I got the adhesive that was recommended in a you tube video with instructions, it was from Permatex. I had to ensure I removed the old adhesive from the silver disk first which took some doing but needed a sharp knife and a razor blade to lift it all. There was no adhesive debris on the wind screen. To fix I then used a wipe supplied in the kit and used a small amount of the adhesive also supplied. The bond took less than a minute. You do need to be sure of the location as the bond is very quick so ensure you can locate the mirror accurately otherwise it is going to get messy. N.B. I had to remove the two connectors to ensure the mirror could be located properly. It was a little fiddly getting them out but went back once mirror was fixed to the windscreen. A good experience though for me and mirror is back on with the accompanying casing parts also.
