I’m more concerned about the other cars… I have a 5’ Brazilian wife and a 2 ton car … 😂😂😂
-
The sounder doesn’t come on when I fault the system and I’m getting both tones so I assume the speakers are correct. cheers mate!
-
Haha… I have ran out of ear defenders from children use! 😂 no faults showing on 1.4.0 or autel scanner. I get faults when I unplug sensors. I think I’ll buy a set of sensors and change the fronts… then see what happens.
-
Right! …. Changed the unit…. Still screaming away! lol. all the sensors are clicking away happily but it seems to be the high pitched tone is constant and interrupted by the lower… so I’m assuming it’s a front sensor confusing the system. any suggestions?? (apart from press the button to shut it up!) haha.

Hi all…. Yet another headache! the starter motor has decided to pack up on the e53. anyone had to do this job? How easy is it? What should I expect? Should I just give it to a garage? I have a jack and axle stands…. And not a lot of time as usual…. any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Take the front grilles out and you can access the cables for the hood/ bonnet release. I had to do this on the x5 recently.

Isn’t the offset ext stamped on ten wheels? Like 9j 49 or so?

FITTING A SCORPION ALARM AND IMOBILISER
X5smw replied to john newby's topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
I have one of those cheap Chinese things with a free SIM card in it and it’s great for tracking the car. it’s not insurance approved but it records speed and stuff. I can set it up so I can kill the fuel pumps if it moves outside of a boundary when armed… all sorts of parameters can be set to alert me. i always had thatcham approved trackers etc fitted in my cars, but I have never had to use them for theft. -
Hello. How many miles has it done? has the gearbox ever been serviced? stu

Good evening and welcome. feel free to ask us any bmw related questions… or anything really! we are a friendly community.

They all seem correct and clean, and when it’s quiet, each sensor seems to work as it should. But as soon as you move, it goes mental and doesn’t pick up normal things like walls, just screams itself silly! no faults are present an 1.4.0 and all sensors bring faults when unplugged. It’s driving me mad!
-
IMG_9899.mov Mine has decided it wants to warn people of its presence…. There is nothing around it. When I stand in front of the sensors individually they all click and the buzzer starts correctly, but move and it thinks the world is attacking it!

My old company motto was , nothing is impossible, it just costs a lot more. im sure with a few tweaks you could do what you feel….. I have seen a 27litre tank engine in a rover p1 before 🫡

Morning Mr Kris, welcome to the forum. if the engine turns out to be a bit sick, it’s a good excuse to go and see quarry motors and pick an engine, make it fit and have fun…. If you’re going to spend money fixing an engine, get a bigger, running one and spend the time shoehorning it in… the wife won’t know what you are doing and you can use the excuse you are saving money by fixing the old one! enjoy! 😉

Hi all. Can someone help pleases im after a video of an e53 with working reversing sensors. Basically, I have repaired mine and it’s showing no faults, but it’s beeping and bleeping more than R2D2 on crack. …. Can you do a video with it not on, put it in reverse and then move so it picks stuff up so I can compare it to a normal car please! 😂
