It actually started to work again, after I took out the unit and wiggled a few wire connections. Go figure? Hopefully just a gremlin? What instructions are you talking about (as in where to find)? in case it does it again.

Cool. I may follow up on that link. In the meantime I took out the unit and wiggled a couple of connection leading to the unit. It is working again - for now anyway. Hope it stays that way. Could have been a loose conx?

Gidday. Apparently the control panel (according to BMW dealership) needs replacing due to humidity damage to the circuit board. All the control push button lights are active and the unit appears to be functioning, except that the air is not circulating at all. This just happened a day ago. I am in Dunedin for the weekend and asked one of the guys at Cooke Howlison BMW for advice. $400-$500 to fix new panel. Any other advice - before I go ahead with his suggestion? Thanks in advance. dave.

I live in Queenstown and am new to BMW. We do not have a dealership here (suprising but true). I would like to give my gearbox a flush but would need to use a mechanic from a non-dealership or specialist shop, to do it here in Queenstown. I have a vibration between 25-35kph. The car is manufactured in Germany, so is not a jatco box. Should I drive it out of town to the nearsest specialist for a flush, what do you recommend. Thank you in advance. dave.

Thanks a lot everyone. I feel the same (It doesn't bother me too much) in that I will just live with it. It hasn't got worse. It does happen more when going up a hill. It is definetly not through the 'stick shift' but through the drive chain (I think g/box). Will keep you posted if it worsens. I am sooooo glad I bought it regardless. Ps. what a great site this is.

Gidday, I have a vibration between 25-35kph. I have meantime managed to 'drive around' this in most situations, but should I continue to nurse this? I have recently purchased (1 mth ago) and it does not concern me too much. However it is an imbalance. Has anybody experienced anything similar. Appreciate comment. This is my first BMW. I really love this car.
