Morning Carole Welcome to the Forum This is a new one I guess you have tried all the menus in settings on your iDrive? Then as your in a 22 model have you asked your Dealer for help I know it doesn't always work but worth a try Good Luck with the search Dave

Morning Martyn Welcome to the Forum Do you have one or want one ?? Dave

Morning Paul Welcome to the Forum Sorry to say I have no experience of the "New" systems so looks as though I will have to get reading 😁 As your car is so new and should still be covered by the Manufacturer Warranty I would start there with a BMW Franchised Dealer Dave

Welcome back Rob We all have our Beemers to Enjoy so Enjoy away I was told by a Scot years ago "No such thing as an Expat Scot just a Scot on Educational Missionary trip" 🤣 Dave

Morning Stu Thanks for the offer of whip round 🤣 I am sure we will get used to eating the horses hay and dog biscuits 🤣 The fault is weird engine just shuts down, remove key replace key press start and it fires up first time and runs smoothly on all 6 get in and drive it and sometimes it behaves and another it cut out 4 times in a mile, no faults recorded. Had me scratching my head and reading a lot I will keep you updated once all the bits arrive Dave

Morning Barry Welcome to the Forum Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of the cars Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search the body section. You should find all the information you need you should find exploded drawings that indicate where stuff goes and the part numbers which will help in your search. the bonnet I believe is just mechanical alignment and hinges with gas strut assistance. Once you have the information Google BMW Specialist Recyclers/Dismantlers and you should then be able to contact them to see who has what you need Good Luck with the Project let us know how you get on Dave

This happened recently while travelling at around 70 on a dual carriageway, quite disconcerting Hazards on get across to the near side stop Key out Key in car starts and runs normally for the rest of the day. At home plug in the Diagnostics and find Nothing ?? the issue didn't go away randomly the engine would cut out but no codes stored. Found a post on another Forum that detailed the symptoms could be 1.Crank Sensor 2. Injector 5 fail through water ingress 3. Fuel Filter or fuel pump issues. My problem was not finding any codes to give a clue as to just where the problem was. Then I took the car for a drive with diagnostics plugged in and Live Data running Hey Presto a code for Injector 5 recorded when the engine cut out So a set of Injectors ordered along with Glowplugs and Inlet Manifold gaskets (family is on bread and dripping) 🤣

Doesn't rule out an internal short on the shark fin though

Morning Sean Welcome to the Forum I take it your car has LED adaptive lights ? On the side of the headlamp is the LED control unit which is removable/changeable I have read that this would be a fix A new headlamp will certainly not be cheap particularly from BMW (not sure if they will sell just the control unit) Try Googling BMW Recyclers Quarry Motors are one I have used in the past always been helpful If you are not aware take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of yor Vin into the search box it will call up your model then look in the relavant section. That way you should get the correct part number (double click the part number and you will get a list of other models/years your parts were used on) Dave

Just had a mail from a BMW contact in the USA apparently he has seen this on X5's the BMW approach. CAUSE Found water leaking into headliner on top of the telematics control unit CORRECTION Replace shark fin, antenna, telematics control unit, battery and program Hope this helps

Morning A short to ground would be a wiring fault or an internal fault in the Shark Fin Tried disconnecting each plug in turn to see if the short disappears that should point to the faulty connection if it doesn't then it is probably inside the shark Fin Dave All my contacts are still scratching their heads still

Hi John Welcome to the Forum Never come across this before it will be interesting to know the solution That is assuming BMW will tell you 😅 Dave

Morning Robert Welcome to the Forum 😂😂 I do hope that whoever told you that has a twisted sense of Humour If your windscreen is in good condition (ie. No cracks, deep scratches, scores and chips that obscure the drivers vision = MOT Fail) So assuming your screen is OK read this Jenksy who has a 6 series has just posted on the fix for the same problem. ""Hi all, I got the adhesive that was recommended in a you tube video with instructions, it was from Permatex. I had to ensure I removed the old adhesive from the silver disk first which took some doing but needed a sharp knife and a razor blade to lift it all. There was no adhesive debris on the wind screen. To fix I then used a wipe supplied in the kit and used a small amount of the adhesive also supplied. The bond took less than a minute. You do need to be sure of the location as the bond is very quick so ensure you can locate the mirror accurately otherwise it is going to get messy. N.B. I had to remove the two connectors to ensure the mirror could be located properly. It was a little fiddly getting them out but went back once mirror was fixed to the windscreen. A good experience though for me and mirror is back on with the accompanying casing parts also." Hope this helps

Morning Paul Well done matey 😁 Dave

Morning Paul Welcome to the Forum Depends how deep your pockets are !! as your car is still under warranty it may be worth it to protect the service/warranty integrity it also depends what else is covered in the plan ? I just carried out a service (December) for a friend of my wife on a 420i 2018 Coupe, Cabin Filter Oil and Air Filter (all Bosch) plus 6 litres of Castrol Edge 5-30 oil cost £115 As I have ISTA/INPA I also ran a full diagnostic check and made sure tyres, brakes etc were in good order. Time wise it took a morning with plenty of Coffee and biscuits I am not a Garage just a home mechanic who enjoys working on our own cars. She brought me a rather nice bootle of whiskey as a thankyou Dave
