Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try to dig deeper in the phone's bluetooth settings..

I don't remember when my phone OS updated but weirdly the phone still connects to other bluetooth devices just not my car. Also, I tried my work iPhone and that too did not play audio. Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Hello there, I'd appreciate some advice on a Bluetooth audio problem I'm facing. Bluetooth audio suddenly stopped working properly a few weeks ago. Spotify, podcast apps all don't play but phone calls work. I use an android phone. I've tried: resetting the idrive, deleting then reconnecting the car in my phone Bluetooth menu, deleting my phone from the car Bluetooth menu, and yes I have checked volume control too. Tried to use my VIN to download a software update but the BMW website didn't recognise it. Any ideas for what else I can try? I'm just about to give up and buy a cable to plug into the aux port. Thank you very much for any advice you could provide.

Watching the F90 get smashed in MI7 made me wince.

I go to Bellars in Rosedale. They're pretty good with communication about my car and usually have a loan car available for which you only pay for petrol. For somewhere closer to home, you could try M Tech Autos in Henderson. I've got no experience with them but they have a 5 star Google rating so I guess they must be doing something right Hope this helps.

I'm no expert but maybe have a look at this website to estimate how much it costs. https://www.autoupgrades.co.nz/bmw-6-series-performance-tune.html I went to Eurosurgeon for stage 1. While I have no complaint about the service I received, they certainly charged more than these guys :p Hope this helps.

Is averaging 40-45 kph on a 50kph road in the early hours on a rainy day with poor visibility too slow? Some dude in a ute honked at me at a roundabout then proceeded to tailgate me for a few hundred metres, drove beside me on the meridian, then dipped his front end ahead of me before turning to bugger off. Too bad my dashcam wasn't working.

I paid $386 in total. Good luck with whichever option you choose.

Find a workshop that will remove the head light and dry them out and then seal the unit. I brought my car to Bellars several months ago to get rid of condensation for my front headlights. Thankfully, I didn't wait too long and suffered no electrical faults. However, one rear headlight now has that problem too 😂😭

WTF indeed though I have to applaud the rats' ingenuity and efficiency. Wanted to find out how fast they worked and found this. Hope it wasn't too much trouble getting rid of the corpse and stench.

This looks like a decent option. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m135i/listing/4065366424

My expression on approaching a passing lane on the way to Tauranga ... My expression when I accelerate and Waze informs me just after I've accelerated there is a speed trap ahead... Sneaky bastards...

Thanks for the advice. Even AirBNB isn't safe. I caught a user advertising a room at a commercial accommodation which he or she clearly didn't own. Didn't even bother to creatively use photos of the place to hide the fact and charged a higher price than what the legitimate business owner charges. I can't find that listing anymore which means it either got taken down or someone got suckered.

Budget accommodation prices don't seem so "budget" anymore..... Should've chosen another time to go on holiday.

Nice work. I gotta remember this the next time I fail to properly tiptoe around gum traps outside my car in a parking lot.
