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.

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?
