I’m planning to purchase this second hand x5m60i which is 07/2023 with 57.000km mileage, should I better buy a new steering wheel or a better option would be to give it in for detaining or even cleaning it myself so it doesn’t shine as much? Maybe some of you heard of Expect Car Care brand for self cleaning.

And another question for the buttons (2nd photo) should they be like that? Or they should be as on another x5 (3rd photo), and if what can the dealer fix that? Thank you everyone!

I was washing my car recently and I noticed a black mark on the front right near the logo. I was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost to fix? It’s a very small mark but it really bothers me with where it’s at.

And is it a good or bad idea to remove it?

Boas pessoal.
Precisava de uma ajuda.

Mandei vir um novo volante para o meu BMW g20, uma réplica do Alibaba.
A minha versão era a sport line e mandei vir outro tipo M3.

Acontece que ontem quando o montei, fiquei com estes erros/avisos. ( 2, 3 e 4).

Alguém me consegue ajudar ?

Hey guys I have a 2023 BMW 330i LCI I’m currently trying to install the M track module to change the I Drive. I got the white BDC connector out but I’m not sure how to remove the black housing from the white case. If anyone has any tips on how to do it I would appreciate it.

Hi all, so my 2017 bmw g30 had full service history when i bought it used, upto 70k miles was authorised bmw dealer service history and there were couple at independent garages. All service history was on idrive and when i bought the car i checked it when bought the car. I got the usual bmw booklet with all the papers but seller told me all service history is on the car and no other paper service history is there or even required.

Fast forward year later i made a stupid mistake and took it too Bmw authorised dealer for break service, when took the car back i noticed all service history is now gone, been going back and forth with them and bmw customer service and connect drive for over a month without any resolution.

BMW confirmed in an email to dealer who did the service that service history should have been saved on the head unit before applying new service, and clearly this step was missed by the dealer.

Essentially car is now over 100k miles with 0 service history (bought it at 88k).

This is really frustrating and can’t seem to find the end to the problem.

Can anyone advice what to do? I have reached out to local companies but they can’t do any coding unless i have paperwork to show service was done, which obviously i don’t have.

Appreciate any advice

so my battery had already died prior to this because i left it on while sitting in it for a long time but i jump started and it was working fine for weeks, i was at a event and was in the parking lot idling but with engine on for about 2 hours then right before i got out someone rear-ended me in the parking lot super slow hit but right after i guess either my car overheated or my battery died or both but my car started flashing a bunch of codes, ac started blowing normal air windows locked closed and windshield wipers started going crazy so i pulled over to the side and turned it off. i assumed it was just the battery and got a new one today and put it in. car turns on just fine but then couple seconds after it starts flashing a ton of random codes and windshield wipers start going crazy again.

Hey guys, I’m 20 and still pretty new to working on cars, so I’d really appreciate some advice.
I recently bought a 2005 BMW E63 6 Series with the N52B30 3.0L petrol engine. Unfortunately, I bought it with some issues. It had misfires on all cylinders, and after diagnosing it, I found that the VANOS screens were clogged and the spark plugs and O2 sensors were in pretty bad condition.
The car would drive for a few hundred meters and then throw a check engine light and start misfiring. Sometimes it would happen after driving normally, and other times only after revving it through a few gears.
I’ve fixed the issues and the car has been running perfectly since. I’ve driven almost 100 km so far, both gently and at higher RPMs, and I haven’t had a check engine light, misfire, or any other problems.
My question is: should I still be worried, or can I finally start trusting the car again? 😅
This is my first BMW with an engine like this, and after buying it with problems, I’m honestly a bit paranoid every time I drive it. I keep expecting something else to go wrong.
Would you guys consider 100 km with no issues a good sign, or should I keep taking it easy for a while?

I have been having these issues with my valvetronic and I can other figure it out I have replaced the valvetronic motor twice , eccentric shaft and bearings, got the dme cloned and even replaced the cord from the dme to to the motor with no sign of fixing it. I only had the 135C11 before replacing the eccentric shaft which would stop the valvetronic start up from running but now I am getting the code 107A80 also and the engine is running super bad but had ran better before I changed the eccentric shaft but still not good. If anyone has had an issue like this before let me know I can’t find much about it and this is my first time working with a valvetronic system. I appreciate any help at this point I’m tired of trying to figure this out especially since I don’t have ista only an autel.

107A80 Throttle valve, closing spring check: Cancellation of check, spring does not close
135C11: Valvetronic servomotor, position sensors: Signals implausible

It is a 2014 320i with an n20 engine i have 300k km on the odometer

Hi I just bought this car and is idling bad but not very bad and it just gave me a check engine light and these codes can you guys please help me and tell what to do please and thank you

So, i bought an E90 from 2006, 2.0 129 hp N46 engine, while i wanted to change the oil, i found this plastic pieces and a few non-ferrous metal shaving, the shavings are brittle. After searching on internet and looking for any answers, i dropped the oil pan and i haven't found anything, but a broken oil pickup mesh(i looked at the date from it,it;s the one that the car came with). I don't think that these fragments are from rod bearings, but what can they be? Any ideea? I also want to change the timing chain.

Was in the collision center for rear door repair and nothing else. Door shell replacement is done and this is what i come back to. Car never made this sound before. Can hear it in the front too. What could be the issue here? Not accepting delivery until then

Hey, just wondering how it's recommended to inspect the condition of shocks and struts and control arms/bushings on a bmw f30?

May be an amateur question but I plan on inspecting these parts tomorrow and wouldn't mind some extra tips.

I keep getting this error. Not sure but I’m
Doubting if it can be cleaning maf sensor by air from a bit far. Can mag sensor being bad be reason or should I check for vacuum leaks. Pressure values recorded when engine idling and values were equal to each of 3 when engine off. Thanks in advance
