So are you selling your services?

Read what I have said. Head off to intoduce yourself as well.

Its working fine:

Just a quick PS.....Best not to used advanced settings. All other changes you make are backed up automatically on your phone. I will not give advice as to how to use, only about issues you might have about connecting. PPS: More here: https://bimmercode.app/ Quick Start Guide: https://bimmercode.app/quick-start-guide/

I have uploaded for anyone who wishes to use it. Any queries about connectivity, please let me know. https://ufile.io/ie7enl3f Use the free/slow option. Its only around 4MB. It is fully updateable and the "full version" but only for use on Android phones. I used it to change and amend untold settings. Its worth its weight in gold, it really is.... Its a zip file BTW so you need to unzip before using.

Hi Scott, Welcome to forum. Thats a mean looking car! Looks great. I am in Norfolk, not local but not a million miles away either.

I think you should introduce yourself first. I don't think this a forum simply to sell cars.

Hi Jonathan, that’s a fairly heavy car producing only a shade over 190 bhp. I would just enjoy it. Forget about silly bolt on stuff. Look at increasing the car's performance. You would easily squeeze another 50 horses from that lump, conservatively – more if you are adventurous.

Serious comments appreciated.

Personally, I'd walk away. It will cost you serious money since you will be forced to deal with BMW - or a dealer, at least.

This "reset" worked for me, following all that was necessary from an independent: Car can be either started or ignition pressed with no brake hold the odometer reset, and keep holding until the ! goes away cycle through the option you want to reset via scrolling the BC stalk press the BC button car will show RESET option, press and hold, then release

If you are a regular visitor to the smoke, change car or use another vehicle. Apart from what Dave has already said, I'm not what else you can do. I do feel for PetrolHeads, generally. This Government had made clear its plans to ban all ICE's. A very sad day that will be.

How far does it roll back? You cant disable stop/start on any model post 2017.

Go back and introduce yourself, then post where appropiate.

Big design flaw, I know, but when you lift the wiper arms on my F30 they hit the top of the bonnet. The blades need to be cleaned (or replaced) when they are vertical. Thing is car washers/washes don't know this! Was considering some rubber trim on the leading edge of bonnet? What do you guys think?

So the fact the fan was running indicates regen was done, or was in progress? I must admit I never feel it happening although when it doesn’t my car is definitely more sluggish for it. I too had a Focus diesel. It was never a problem and I never experienced any drop in performance like my BMW shows. Funny thing is, BMW does precisely the same journeys the Focus did. I accept though the lump is bigger and therefore takes longer to warm up. My driving is not ideally suited to diesel, if I were honest. Too many 14/15 mile short trips. What’s your thoughts on something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NATR6BE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3CKQVK90UAMQF&psc=1

Wow! Thanks for info.

Thank you Dave. Likewise to you and everyone else on here

Nick, Superchips do err on the side of caution. Many other firms can squeeze more out of the motor. However, I think that comes at a price.

Thanks Dave, Happy Christmas.

Second letter sent to dealer today by RD.... SENT BY RECORDED DELIVERY Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx xxxxxxx Dear Sirs, 20th December 2019 RE: xxxxxxxx - BMW 335d – PURCHASED FROM YOU. Collection Date: 21st June 2019 Fourteen working days have now elapsed since my email communication of the 2nd December, 2019. You never responded to it, much the same as you refused to return either of my telephone calls. I have attached hereto a copy of the above, for ease of reference. This letter follows on from what was said in that email. (1) THE BASIS OF MY COMPLAINT The first time any of these wheels were required to be removed was when I booked them in to have them polished. This was on the 27th November 2019. None of the four lock bolts, nor the other 17mm (across flats) bolts were able to be removed. As you are fully aware, I am disabled. As soon as I became acquainted with the inability to remove my vehicle’s wheels, I temporality stopped driving the car. What on earth might have happened had I suffered a puncture on a rural road, late at night? Or, indeed, at any other time and anywhere. I spoke to you twice, on the morning of the 2nd December, with regard to this issue. You ducked and dived, naturally, denying any responsibly. You initially refuted ever having sold me the car. You promised to call me back. You never did. I took the car to SR Vehicle Services (IP27 ONG). He used a huge high torque “gun” (an item normally used to remove HGV wheel nuts) in an attempt to free these lock bolts – without success. Two other firms in the industrial estate (Brandon) wouldn’t even attempt it (I told them the history). I eventually tried Thetford Tyres and Exhausts. They, likewise, couldn’t assist they did (however) recommend me to a firm who specialise in removing wrongly over tightened wheel bolts. I took the car there last Thursday. They had it there until fairly late on the Friday (5th December to 6th December 2019). They did finally manage to remove the bolts, having spent five and half hours doing so. I asked them to replace them with standard high tensile 17mm bolts. They did so, and used genuine BMW parts. I can’t ever go through this again. These items are, of course, considerably cheaper than like for like lock bolts. They felt some sympathy for me and only charged me for three and a half hours labour. This is evidenced by the invoice attached. They did cause some unavoidable damage to the bolt tunnels on the alloy wheels and this also forms the basis of my complaint. I have received an estimate for the damage caused. This is attached hereto. The work is scheduled to take place on the 14th January 2020. (2) QUANTUM There is no claim for my time or inconvenience. I have attempted to be fair here. Nonetheless, the amount outstanding is thus: £208.20 – Lock nuts removal. £200.00 – Refurbishment of damaged wheel bolt tunnels. £408.20 + any subsequent court costs incurred (3) CONSUMER LAW The Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides protection for purchasers of most products, including new and used cars purchased from a dealer. Moreover, the law states that a vehicle must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. (a) To be of satisfactory quality, a car must not be faulty or broken when purchased, and it must be of a standard that a reasonable person would expect, taking into account its age and mileage if it’s second hand. (b) The car should be fit for the purpose for which it’s been supplied The car has neither met expectations, nor was it fit for purpose. The vehicle had, four irremovable wheels. I would suggest that, all likely purchasers of any car, would reasonably expect to be able to remove the wheels. Punctures, tyre replacement and brake maintenance ALL rely on their removal. (c) If a problem is fou nd after 30 days, but within six months of purchase, I am actually entitled to request a replacement vehicle. That is not my position here. I simply require compensating for monies I have had to spend when, in the normal course of events, this would not have been necessary – had the vehicle met the criteria of (a) and (b) above. (4) NOTICE OF ACTION Kindly remit the amount owed within the next fourteen working days. If I don’t receive payment within the timescale stated, County Court proceedings will be issued against you. Accordingly, please accept this communication as formal notification of that impending action. Yours faithfully, Richard xxxxxx Attachments: 1) Original Sales Invoice (ORIGINAL SALES INVOICE) 2) My email of 2nd December 2019 (Initial Complaint) 3) Invoice dated 5th December 2019 – Work carried out to remove lock bolts (Vickers Motors Invoice) 4) Estimate to repair bolt tunnels (Wheel_Damage_Estimate)

Check out the link above. It allows you to change and customise many settings BMW don't really want you to too. For example, I turned off my running lights and got rid of the stop/start nonesense. https://bimmercode.app/ I can suppy up to date app. All you need is a bluetooth OBD plugin and an Android phone.

Lovely car Mike. Welcome.
