Had to use them once myself when my then new X5 was about three weeks old and I got a Check Control message that would not clear, telling me I had no oil pressure even though the oil level was fine. The Dealer told me to call them out. Took less than 40mins before this real nice guy turned up in a 5...

The blank one seems to be common and there's nothing showing in my manual as an option filling it, nor in the US version.

Updated 02/Nov/10 Car arrived Southampton on the 1st and is expected to be with the Dealer on the 9th. All being well I should have her on 12th. Yippee :D :rofl: :driving: ------------------------------------ Not long now. Dealer just told me it's gone code 9610 - About to depart port of entry (Bre...

Officially BMW support the use of B5 (5%) biodiesel even if they don't recommend the use of biodiesel at all - or 'Biopetrol' which uses Ethanol in the mix - but given that for diesel in the UK you have no choice, and we've had biodiesel for a few years without any effects so far there should not be...

It's got 33 reads at the last count. I grinned at it.

I have it on my iphone but need a car for it to work on! Why do car carriers only do 15.5kts!! Can't BMW make a marine class 'M' engine yet! Deep sigh

Of course we have to be angry because of all the others intruding on our peace and quiet by being on OUR Roads..........


I don't get angry..........I leave them behind

I'll have to make sure I don't park near you with my E71 then! Those wheels actually look better than the E53 OEM options. Very nice.

Of course we could take the approach that as BMW Owners we do actually own the road and these other peasants shouldn't be there anyway.

They're only jealous, and have to show it by not letting us onto the roads that ARE rightfully ours anyway.

Welcome to the Forum. Having once been a Fleet Manager with a number of Discos I know what you mean about the reliability of RRs. The Disco wasn't a lot better. The BMW is so much better to drive.

Oooohh yes please :D Huh hermmmm, I mean that would be most kind of you. Your generosity in helping a fellow member is above and beyond (Ed-now don't over do it!) As long as its not the US one? I've been trying to get info on the Combox and other options (8TL & 8TN) that started to be fitted fro...

On the case....................insurance being sorted. Dealer will use their system plus AFRL Web initially then I'll take the cert over once we have a date/time. I have the Reg as it's a personal one... It shouldn't take sooooooooooooooooo long............. :tumbleweed: :headbang: :headbang: :drivi...

It could be on any of four boats - BMW won't tell me or the Dealer when it left the US, only that it has left the factory. Checking the shipping schedules (sad I know, but), the earliest for Bremerhaven is 27th Oct leading to the earliest into Soton is the 1st Nov, after which it's down to BMW GB an...

Nah..............don't like the wheels. They'd look soooooooooo much better on mine. Can I have them for free? :D :P :rofl: Nice HDR's though - will have to try the same when mine turns up, and whilst it's still clean too!! Dunno how well Red will do on an HDR though - might go pink.......EEeeeeuuuu...
