Omni Carlo

Hello All Again,

Went to BMW Auckland City finally to have this checked and Simon and Vaughan Helped a lot with this. Finally figured it out whats happening with the F30.

I expansion tank has a crack in it which has made sensor get bad and corroded so will have it replaced soon but I was just going through online stuff and they said that BMW has extended warranty for this as they already know that this is a faulty part but no information with BMW NZ About it

Anyway finally happy to have it sorted as this was very annoying and there is not a lot of information about it on the internet as well.

Hello All,

I have got a 328i 2012 f30 which I brought in august, recently it gave me a warning saying coolant level low but when I checked coolant level was all good but still had it flushed and refilled and it come up today again so any help will be appreciated.

I have attached a picture as well 

Thanks

Omi

I m just going to buy a 2008 LCI 335i but before that just checking about the recalls which has been there from BMW.... i know 1 is for the airbag in the steering wheel and another is for the wire harness . Can someone tell me how to check if its already done on the car or if not can it be done in NZ as its a japan import 

Thanks for that balancerider.... but how can i check if the car is msport.... the car i m looking to buy has paddle shift and the gear shift which comes with m sport..... but i m not sure.....

Hello friends,

i just want to check if someone can help..... i m looking to buy a F30 but i just want to confirm that there is a red line in the cluster it is inside the speedometer and RPM meter, but i just want to check if its in all the F30 or it depends ?

thanks 

Hey there,

hope that someone can help I m looking to replace my 320i exhaust with a twin one which we get in 323i or 325i, if someone has that available for sale or can tell me where I can find one.

Thank you for the reply,

the caps says ATF only with some japnese letter but when i went to repco they said that ATF dex III is only for cars prior to 2005 and as i have 2010 so it would not be suitable so if someone can help that would be great.

regards,

Aman

Hello all,

i m thinking to change the power steering oil in my 2010 320i but i m confused that which oil should I put in...... on the cap it says ATS oil but nothing else and when I went to check it with repco and supercheap they told me that there are few of them like ATS gen x2, so if someone can help me with this that would be great.

Regards,

Aman

I wanted to try Carly but cannot find the special wifi adaptor anywhere in Auckland. Where did you get the adaptor from?

thanks,

 

Hello Daniel,

Sorry for the late reply.

I ordered it Online, but once you buy the adaptor you will need to buy an application for it as well which is around $70.00 NZD .

Its a nice little thing which has a lot of cool function to unlock in bimmers

If you would be traveling to rotorua. Let me know and I can help you with coding

Good on you for finding a solution to the problem. Only my opinion shame on the firm concerned surely they know their own product range isn't that what a dealer ship is all about and then to say it will cost $1600 for a new mirror. Urrr

that's correct Allan, They should have know better but I hope that this thing will help someone else and will save sometime to go and look for a solution through the dealer.

No Allan,

I did that my self as I was going through all possible options in the morning today. They quoted $1600.00 for a new mirror

Just to inform all the Bimmer lovers that I have Sloved the ECT Card error message in Idrive.

Just open the ETC Option in the Idrive

Then press options button on the controller of the Idrive.

it will show you option about the warning message untick it and its all good to go

Hope this helps someone in future.

If the message is audio, as in the car speaks the warning to you then it's the same as my X5 was. I had the dealer remove the system (or at least disconnect the speaker) as part of the purchase. 

I realise that's not a solution as such but it means that you can at least have a competent auto electrical person remove it for you. 

I had a word with the dealer fir BMW here and they said that the only option is to take that mirror off and put a new one in and that would be very expensive so i thing I will leave it like this as there is no sound but thanks anyway

thanks for your reply Allan,

Just to check if you would by any chance know that where would that fuse be.... My one is in the back of the mirror and its quite alloying to be true.

Hello Friends,

Just to infrom you all that I have brought a Carly adaptor to help with but basic coding fir the bimmers so would be happy to help people with the coding. I m based in Rotorua.
