Re: An Array of warnings / lights
If not battery, could be alternator / voltage regulator. There is a hidden menu from where you can monitor the voltage of the battery and charging system using the OBC. Menu 9 from memory. Google and you'll find instructions.

Re: Facelift gearbox
You're correct, 04 on has the later ZF box and the general opinion is that it is less prone to catastrophic failure. Not sure we have any scientific evidence of this but I'm at 114k now with fingers firmly crossed!

I've had good results just smearing a film of de icer on the seals each time I scrape the windscreen. Hasn't killed the seals yet either!

Re: E53 drivers door won't unlock on the button!!
It's fairly common for the door lock solenoid to fail, intermittently at first, then completely. Especially drivers door as it is used most.

Unlucky, but could have been worse! As a matter of interest, how much is a replacement alternator? Good luck with the project and look forward to your write up.

Re: Lumpy / stalling whilst idling.

Re: BMW C110 Scanner or V1.4.0 Scanner?
I have the 1.4.0 and its a great tool. But I'm also tempted by the ease of use offered by the c110. Anyone know if it offers the same functions as 1.4.0 or is t more limited? (Apologies for raising an older thread, but no one seems to have both as yet?)
