Hello there people.

Im brand spankin new to bmw. I have always had jap cars evo's and scoobs. Never liked bmw's at all but have to say that my first impressions are quite good.

We have got a x5 4.6 is. It has alot of goodies of which im not used to but liking it nine the less. The reason we got this motor is because we have a third child on the way and need extra space.

To be honest i think we have got a bit of a pig of a car and needs some attention it doe have some annoying problems but this was due to me putting alot of trust into the person who we got it off. Sa no more.

Oh well thank for listening and no doubt i will be asking a few of you about some future info..............

Hey thanks for the warm welcome. I have a list longer than my arm so im not going tho put them all out there at once.

I do have one immediate question.

The sat nav screen at the front. Are they coded as mine is faulty. The selection button only goes up and down by one and doesnt scroll through the menu.

Can I buy another and just 'plug and play'?

Cheers Ryan.

Hi Ryan, I would guess they are coded, could be the software needs an upgrade, but I am sure X5 owners would be able to help you, good luck

Welcome aboard Ryan, no code required... Try unplugging and replugging the rear connectors, or as Al mentioned, update the software...

I would personally take it to a main dealer, as there is pirate upgrade cd/dvd out there, but someone else may know of a good place, good luck.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave
