hi all,

Firstly, "start a topic" doesnt sound like "ask a question" so apologies if I am not following rules and kindly point me in the right direction...

I have recently bought a AUC 5 series M sport 520D and was assured by the BMW main dealer that it had the higher BHP engine (177) in it (this was one of my pre-requisites) but my insurance details are suggesting it might not be.

If anyone can advise how I can confirm this without cost (other than going back to the main dealer - forearmed is forewarned, and all that) I would very much appreciate it.

Regards,

Den.

whats the year of the car?

Sorry - OK, its September 2007 on a "57" plate. It has the old style gear knob (i.e. not the later version that was lifted out of the X5.

Thanks Gav...some useful info here but unfurtunately it doesnt help me...it advises the BHP changed during 2007 (actually around sept) but it doesnt say categorically which cars would have the higher HP or how I could tell by looking at something on my car...presumably the V5 will have it on it somewhere but I havent received this from DVLA yet since purchasing the car.

I put a link to the exact car 3 posts up on Parkers website lol

Thanks Greeney - this still only tells me what each model has...it doesnt tell me which model I have.

I've received my V5 now and its not on there either - doh!

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Hi Dave - Thank you got the excellent advice and information. Could you tell me where the main fuse box is (never had a BMW before)? We have a friend coming over to scan the car on Thursday so hopefully sort out the issues or at least know what to fix first. Thanks once again - Kind regards Andrew

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Morning Andrew Welcome to the Forum looks like your missing a module rear camera or PDC could be a Towing Module Not sure about BCM (I assume this is Body Control Module?) BMW 1.4.0 or ISTA/INPA should/normally show Greyed out Modules as not communicating allowing indentification of Failed units The Footwell Control Module was a common issue on several models and a simple change whether you go new or recycled it will cause a Tamper Dot by the mileage, so your new unit will need to be registered to your chassis and the mileage matched to your car. Junction Box Electroncs is the next biggy mainly due to where it is situated. Dont forget check or better still change the Fuel Pump Relay one of the common faults Also disconnect the modules check the connectors for signs of corrosion on pins give every thing a clean and spray of electrical contact cleaner and put it back. I have fixed several this way. Good Luck Dave

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      I'm am sorry if I am doing this incorrectly but I have searched and not found anything related to this but I am still learning all of this. Does anyone know about the yellow airbag/ seat belt connector under the driver’s seat? I am sure the previous owner has changed this but I am wondering if anyone has seen this before? If so, should I remove the butt connectors and solder the wires? Should the wires be twisted all the way to the yellow connector? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JayMe

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Hi - I have a 2007 1.6L Petrol 1 series and it has wire connectors in the boot near the battery but I don't know what they are meant to connect to. Are they just spare or is there a part missing? The car currently not starting but we think it is a BCM fault but just wanted to know what the cables in the boot are meant for. Any help would be greatly appreciated be gratefully appreciated as we can't read the fault codes as we think the BCM is faulty and the car won't idle properly but there might be some other issue. Regards Andrew
