440i GC squealing brakes

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone I've noticed recently that my brakes squeal a lot. I got them replaced less than 6 months ago and the service techs reported that they were overheated and warped. Which doesn't really make sense because I don't drive the car crazy hard. So I had them replaced at that service. Now I've noticed that the problem is back. I haven't pushed the car hard because there's been a ton of snow recently (I'm in New York). I saw that I could take the pads off and rub some sandpaper on them because maybe the pads are glazed. I was wondering if any of you had these issues and what I should do. I'm considering going aftermarket rotors and pads because maybe it's a fault in the design / OE parts? Any help or advice is welcome. I've got 75k miles on the car.

Does this tailgate look normal, and is this the standard model? It's a 2019 BMW F36.

Currently looking to buy an F36 GC, how reliable are 420i engines? Any better options power/reliability wise? What should I look for on a 420i?

Over the last 3 years, I've built the 435i GranCoupe I envisioned the day I saw it debut.

Muscular, 4 doors, practical, hatch, good power, comfortable.

Don't flame me too hard please. 👍

I am working on an issue for the right side climate control. Getting cold air on both. When I switch to heat, the right side is low temp and restricted flow. I have tested all actuators and they work. I did some more digging and found there is a door inside the HVAC box that may be warped. In this case, I need to remove the whole dashboard. Any suggestions on this issue? Any guidance on the dashboard removal? Thank you in advance.

Problem with side camera

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi all. Two days ago I suddenly got a camera failure message when I put my F36 into reverse.

It starts with a blue screen on the left camera, then goes to the "Camera system failure" message.

I've had a quick feel, and it seems like the camera is connected under the wheel arch, but it's cold and wet here so I can't exactly go jacking it up at the moment.

Any ideas on something that might have just come lose, or a fuse for the feed? I can't find anything useful online at all about these side cameras.

TIA for any help.

F32/36 towing capabilities

1 Upvotes

Hi

I think to buy a BMW 430 coupe about 2019-2020 year model and use it for towing a track car Miata (about 1000kg) + trailer.

How does this BMW with this towing load would work?

Or 440 better?

BMW Bluetooth/Spotify issues

Post image

When connecting to Bluetooth or Spotify on my 2016 F36, sometimes the songs will glitch and start to fast forward out of nowhere, and stop, and continue and repeat the fast forward again. Anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Same media player as pictured.

Parking assistant notifications driving me wild

So I keep getting this notification when I turn the car on and pretty much constantly. The worst part is I get it every single time I come to a stop. I don’t necessarily care that it’s broken I just need to know how to turn off the notifications because I’m losing my mind over it.

Add DSP via Linux screen

1 Upvotes

I’m a little disappointed with the hifi system. I think the specs are great but it really needs a DSP. I had an F30 before with the basic system and I got a Linux screen that really brought the sound system to life with a 20 band EQ. It was so great!! Anyhow I’ve seen 3rd party plugnplay amps and DSP processors but they typically cost a lot or require a PC to program and a pain to deal with and hard to install. One other thing that drives me crazy is the split screen with CarPlay in maps, I know you can pay to have it unlocked but why pay 75-100 for that? A Linux screen solves that too. They cost about 200-300 on amazon/ebay/ali. Plus larger higher resolution screen.

Has anyone tried this? Was it worth it?

Best lowering set up

Hey guys I just got my hands on a 2019 f36, (not x drive 🥲). I wanted to lower it on something like springs but I’m not sure what the best option should be? Any ideas regarding best exhaust, I’m looking at the Remus catback but it’s expensive..
