Hi, I am new to X5 ownership but have owned all sorts of series of BMW's in the past. I have just brought a 2004 3.0d for the Mrs, i am just wondering what options are available, either set by a dealer or that i can do myself, i.e. Auto locking etc.

There are two ways of 'unlocking' various options on the E53 .

One is by Indy's with an Autologic . I had auto-lock on doors function enabled , and also when the

vehicle is locked , the indicators now flash and it beeps , once on lock , twice on un-lock .

There are a lot of other features , but it depends on the spec. of your car , and I'm not familiar with

all of them , sry . Jason at BW did mine , he's always got time to help if you call him 07831 103030 .

The other way is using and Intravee , which I'm looking to buy . This opens up some other things like

auto-folding door mirrors , PDC display on OBC , soft indicator which has a set amount of flashes .

Here's their forum , they'll help for sure ; http://www.intravention.co.uk/forum/

Hope this helps a bit .

Chris

      Collision Avoidance System

      Thank you for your response Dave, I have been to BMW Dealer but all they say computer indicates 'no faults' although I had frequent warnings saying system was restricted. They refuse to road test it saying it is dangerous to road test which I dispute as the system should give a visual warning at 8 car lengths and low speeds. I suggested to test it against another BMW with the same system but again they will not. If I have it on the most sensitive setting and get no warnings what is the point of the less sensitive settings. Lots of unanswered questions with this system?

      Engine running weird when hot

      Morning Billy You need a diagnostic session to narrow things down, at 161k I would also carry out a compression test and check fuel delivery and pressure. Your symptoms could be an accumulation of things or as simple as a dying throttle body diagnostics will help Dave

      BMW X1 Fuel sensor failure.

      Hello. If you own or use a BMW with a diesel engine, manufactured since 2006, a faulty fuel line with an integrated temperature sensor is most likely installed in the engine compartment of your car. This sensor becomes unsealed and injects fuel through the electrical wires via the plug, as a result of which the entire installation (harness), controllers (including turbines) and the ECU (computer) are damaged. Failure may occur after approximately 40,000 km. The costs associated with purchasing the above-mentioned parts amount on average to 4000 euro or more + service, but this repair does not solve the problem because the new temperature sensor still has the same defect. Below are some links to videos in which mechanics describe this problem. I have developed an effective protection that prevents fuel from entering despite a faulty sensor, which permanently solves the problem. If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail for more details: [email protected] Product made in Poland YouTube Links: https://youtu.be/5za5VP0wqkQ?si=jR9S4GCRW6gn7XOU https://youtu.be/kVobw7st0H0?si=aS2ZO6ab1jAWgSI- English: https://youtu.be/aR4rDtD7h7c?si=ze-BBAmBhpH7qwrM

      Engine running weird when hot

      Hello everyone, got a 116i m sport n43b20a. Had it for about 3 months and soon after buying noticed a wierd problem. When cold the car would run perfectly, however when warm or stuck in traffic you could feel it become a little bit rough, sort of a banging feel from the engine which you can feel through the car. When doing this, when driving it runs perfectly. However when you attempt to pull away, the car will drop to around 400rpm and pull away a bit bouncy, having to give it more accelerator to prevent it from stalling, whenever in reverse it does this and normally leads to stalling. Over the last 3 months it hasn’t gotten worse but it does the pulling away thing when it is cold now. Had a service >1k miles ago with plugs. Also had it smoke tested and no signs of any leaks. Does anyone have any advice or had a similar story? Cars on 161k Thanks
