Hi, I wouldn’t remember the diagnostics as its been a very long time. I will dig into my archives and see what .pdfs I have next weekend (travelling right now).

Cheers

only 'another £100k' :rofl: Thanks everyone.. yeah keeping them clean.. and keeping 20" wheels from potholes.. its unbelievable though - this car feels like it floats on top of potholes.. (also sways like a ship), whereas the previous 640i transferred every pothole all the way to my bones.. (also ...

Back with the brand - bought this about a week back
its a massive upgrade in tech

anyone knows some good forums for these please let me know.

thx

I upgraded the OS to make it CarPlay compliant, and use Waze avoiding all such issues.. car isn’t a BMW though

I’ve had the same Merc dealer giving me a scare about a fault in a similar ‘inspection’ which I decided to ignore, and the same dealer to NOT issue such warnings in later years. And the is still fine

The gloss black looks nice you’re sticking to the red colour theme i see . Personally I’d have gone for a beige or white interior (my 640i had ivory white and loved it). Car looks amazing

Wow 👍, love it! Would like to talk to you about the experiment sometime. How long have u had it? Not a fan of the BMW single panel display btw, although this is unfortunately where the world is going.. find it being priority for tech beyond driver ergonomics. Btw I’m on hols and had a horrible expe ...

post some pics of the i4 pls

Well you’d have been ruining the starter motors as those weren’t designed for frequent start/stops. Not to mention strain on battery. 😛 btw I only idled on start because of the battery warning. Whilst on the move I hate start/stop to the extent I start BMWs with two fingers, first finger pushes the s ...

I had an experience with my 6 series convertible, 640i, although I believe I had an N55. Car had a battery warning at start, so when mrs wanted to stop at some corner shops I sat in the car with engine running. And Mrs took her own time of course. After idling for a while longer than expected, where ...

Going off brand again Sold the amazingly beautiful 640i convertible and bought an MX-5. Extreme opposites, over 2 tonnes vs just over 1 tonne kerb weight. Long and wide vs short and not too wide for the road. Every imaginable electronic aid vs even the hood being manually operated😆 Light weight, so c ...

Also, I think the later cars’ similar software runs in the cloud or a server at BMW and u have to connect/login online. So it’s no longer downloadable.
