Hello Everyone

I have purchased my first BMW this past week, and have decided to join the BMW Owners' Club.

I thought it only polite to introduce myself and I dare say that once I have found my way around the Forum I will pop back and post again.

Happy and safe motoring to you all.

Hello All

This forum lark is hard for us beginners ... firstly I forgot my password so couldn't log in ... then I couldn't figure out how to reply (even though I had done it last week) and now The Sheep gives me the added pressure of asking me to upload photos!!!!!!! Oh how will I cope! I shall give it a try in the next few days.

The welcome has been lovely and I intend to use the site and hopefully contribute as well as read posts. I hope to attend an event or two soon as well.

I had a few niggles last week during my first week of driving the car. It wouldn't start and had to have the ECU repaired, and now the temperature gauge tells me that the outside temperature is minuss 44 degrees centigrade and the airbag light stays on. The garage are going to look at those two issues for me tomorrow.

Its a lovely drive though and although it was out of action the first four days I bought it because of the ECU I hope it will be happy motoring from now on.

Once again thanks for the welcome everyone!

      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,

      Hi. Do you have a light on the dash? It could be that someone fitted an emulator ?

      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
