Don't have Sport + on mineĀ  ;) On a morning it starts off in Comfort. Yesterday while in comfort, the display eventually turned from red to white without any intervention. But today, it remains in RED. Will see what happens tomorrow, otherwise i'll get it back in. Whilst in Red, the revs seem to be ...

Re: 2 Questions: Music Folders on USB Stick and Tuning New DAB Stations

Thanks for the replies, but so many replies going completely off track (pardon the pun). Forget iTunes, I did not mention iTunes at all. For simplicity sake, on my computer I have two folders containing MP3s. If I copy both these folders to a memory stick and then use them in the car, I-drive does n...

Re: 2 Questions: Music Folders on USB Stick and Tuning New DAB Stations

[quote="RodHB"] I copied my iTunes library onto a USB flash drive which is easy to do using a computer. Works/worked really well on all my iDrive cars. [/quote] So did you have folders in the root of the USB drive and it lets you play tunes in them? If so, how do you traverse the folders? ...

2 Questions: Music Folders on USB Stick and Tuning New DAB Stations

Hi all, Anyone know how to read Music Folders on the F25 X3 via USB STick?

Re: 2015 X3 35D Demo M Sport Car Purchase?

Funnily enough mine is also an ex-demo m sport.
When the BMW website had the ratings on it, mine was fully optioned up including 5 years servicing etc.

Like you, I was missing the VDC, and that is the one thing I miss, apart from LED lights, the standard Halogen ones are truly dread.
