Re: De swirled ..

It was done at my mates garage, I think he left the motor connected.

I have a 14 BMW R12RT too and they have exhaust flaps that are built into the header pipe, they're known to seize and you have to replace the exhaust headers to fix the problem. However, they usually seize in the "open" position ...

Re: 2005 X3 E83 2.0d DSC fault code

Re: Road tax changes

go tohttps://www.fixmystreet.com/ and report everyone you come across, I believe it's logged so perhaps it'll make a difference. They certainly seem to fix them quicker up this way when reported

instant mpg

Every BMW I've had, from 1980's E28's to E32's, E34's, E46's have had the vacuum operated instant MPG gauge.

Is it possible to "code" one to the OBC on a 2007 e83 3.0sd ?

Voice Control is a separate cost option and I can’t see it listed. Option Code S620A. All cars with BT and Nav get the button on the steering wheel, but not the option unless paid for.

Voice control

Hi my 2007 e38 3.0sd msport has the spec detailed below. From what I'm reading if it has navigation, Bluetooth and assist it should have voice control. I've tried holding down the "face" button and there's no "beep". Just pressing the button quickly has the system accessing the phone as expected but ...

E83 Owner

Hi all

Just changed my e46 330Ci for an e83 X3 3.0SD Msport. Loving it so far :D, now just have to put the 330 on to ebay :D

I work at a BMW Motorrad showroom in sales, and have 5 BMW bikes  :))
