Hi there!
for a few days now I have an issue with my BMW X1 (year 2011, AUTOMATIC). I can't switch into sport mode anymore nor can I change the gears manually with the shift lever. Changing gears manually with the paddles at the steering wheel still works.
I think that is something electrical. I already took the cover of the middle console off but couldn't see any obvious fault (detached cable etc.).
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated (I already tried Mr. Google but couldn't find anything specific for the X1 )
Cheers

Hi there,
I own a 330Ci convertible 2005. The genuine stereo is a BMW business professional with tape and a 6* CD changer. Some time ago I replaced the CD changer connection with a "Soundplicity BMW iPod / iPhone Integration Kit" to connect an iPod. That works fine so far.
Now you get car stereos with BlueTooth which also support (i)Phones for handsfree telephonie. I would be interested whether someone already replaced the genuine radio (1 DIN high) with another car stereo in a E46?
Some things I would like to achieve - if possible: the steering wheel controls should still work with the stereo. I also saw bezels to install a standard stereo, but they are all off centre. I found a "E46 Centered Single-DIN Headunit Bezel" on mybimmer.net. Does someone know whether that (or something similar) is available in NZ?
Any hints, suggestions, photos are much appreciated.
Thank you
Holger

Turned out that was exactly the problem. 2 wires were broken. Everything fixed and Sport Mode and manual gear change is working again.
