I had a mobile locksmith attend the car when i first bought it, it had only one key. He supplied a new key and cut the blade.

In my case both keys were then reprogrammed to the applicable car system but neither will trip the door locking, hence i investigated the diversity aerial, or an ...

My 2009 e70 has the same problem, albeit how it arose i don't know.

Research suggested the diversity aerial, it isnt. Even a BMW main dealer couldn't pinpoint the problem. I've got used to just using the key

The price range is not for mere mortals. If its a collectors car as suggested, then I'm the wrong age and with an inadequate bank balance.

I'll give it a miss

I saw this recently on TV i think it was. Just a tad expensive and certainly an acquired taste imo.

I dont think it would tempt me, even if i had the funds and opportunity to buy one. If i was going for a low-slung car like that again, I'd be looking at an i8, which i do like

I have a 320d i want to sell but scared to if you get me because of this scam thing.
Not to clever on my feet so can't follow them to fast and the same goes for my wife.
I would trust the car to take me any ware wanted for nothing in the last 15 years i have known the car my m8 had it the first 7 ...

Indeed you're right, im sure. Home grown or foreign, i would dearly like to inflict pain on them.

I really hope they had travelled over 100 miles for nothing. But it wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't BS anyway

I have decided not to keep the budget X5 after all, too many irritiations with it compared to my X6, and exporting it to Greece would be phenomenally more expensive than i had thought. 16,000€ plus agents fees to be specific.

So its for sale, and a couple of 'foreign gentlemen' pitched up last ...

I think I must be hard of learning. I don't understand any of this to date.
I think ill just leave things alone for safety sake

Thanks for that. I followed the link to Amazon, but the three devices they show all say fault code reading, but i only really want to make some coding changes.

Showing my total ignorance of this subject will any of these devices do that?

Thanks. Expensive really for what i want to achieve.

I know I've mentioned this previously, but maybe there are new options?

For as long as i have two BMWs, coding some stuff might be useful and I'm aware of some differences between the X5 & X6. There are both 2009 vintage and built just two months apart, though they have very different ...

So the saga continues. The junction connector X9331 is apparently only applicable to 2007/8 built cars. The dealership was willing to deal with this during the airbag replacement for free, but the connector is not behind the glovebox. BMW technical department advised the dealers that on a 2009 built ...

I was always envious of the Opel version of the Vauxhall i had inerited. It was way more sporty looking, and had better colours. Plus the decal badging made it look 'racy'.

FWIW, my favourite all-time company car from brand new (these are screen grabs) was a Fiat 131 Supermirafiori Sport Racing. It came only in three colours, Orange, Grey Metallic, and Silver Metallic. All came with black crushed velour upholstery. Those were the days 😀

Oh, i also had a Cavalier Sportshatch in a vile peppermint green with dark blue velour interior. I inherited it from the guy i replaced as a regional manager.

I assume he was sacked based on his poor colour choice, he had it from new i hated it but the remuneration compensated for a while.
