U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers
Greydog replied to Penguin82's topic in BMW 2 Series Forum
Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum Sounds like BMW have decided you shouldn't go near any dirt or mud in your 220i Touring 🤣 That leaves little choice really. have you thought of checking Mud Flaps from either the 1 series or 3 series cars it may be they can be modified to fit ? If not it means the after market accessories have you Googled to see what if anything comes up Good Luck with the search Dave -

U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers
Penguin82 posted a topic in BMW 2 Series Forum
Can anybody help with the parts numbers for the latest 2 series Active Tourer U06 220i model mud flaps. I have tried BMW UK parts direct and they say they don't exist. Any help would be appreciated. -
Hi Stuart Welcome to the Forum Mtec with Mintex Pads always good value as are Apec, then there is Brembo discs and pads It depends if your only doing the Front or the whole car there are often some good deals to be had. Don't ignore your Dealer they often can be competitive and don't think the Auction sights are always the cheapest check the Factors as well. Use www.realoem.com to get part numbers and then use Google to find the best deal Good Luck Dave

Could anyone recommend a decent budget set of disc brakes and pads for my 330i tourer please?

Morning Rob Welcome to the Forum Our son inlaw has an Induction charger in his 3 series it looks very "OEM" and seems to work well. It sits below the radio centre console where the ashtray would be I don't know if it was in the car when he got it or if he had it fitted ? I will ask him and let you know Dave

Morning to you all, I have a 2014 X3 35d M sport, absolutely love it. However, I’d love to have a wireless charger (ideally MagSafe as I have an iPhone) in the centre cubby between the two seats. Of course I know I could use a lead (and indeed do currently), but in the interests of being extremely lazy I’d love to just be able to plonk it onto a fix in place wireless MagSafe pad. I've seen a few aliexpress specials to retro fit something by the cup holders, but that’s not what I’m after. What I’m after is as above, but I can’t find anything anywhere. Has anyone here done or seen something along those lines? Cheers Rob

A loss of oil isn't good depends how long the engine was driven with low oil? Good Luck with the replacement Dave
-
I'll get a second opinion 2litre diesel he did say good chance engine damage due to oil loss
-
Morning William Welcome to the Forum That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ? Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc. Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone Dave

Morning John Welcome to the Forum I believe you should be able to change that in the iDrive menu. Unless you have an import from Japan then it could get more complicated Dave

Hi. That start/stop ignition button never turns off. Same with the P when parked. I will check the mini fuses on the car. I even added some not in fuse box. I will look for gear and brake fuse. On diagram and #. Thanks

Hello fellow BMW enthusiast, I'm looking to purchase a 2015 650i xdrive with 70K kms. I understand I'll need to hold some cash back for maintenance/repairs and have another car if it needs to be in the shop. I don't have a garage so I won't be servicing it myself. Anything I should be looking for before I buy and is this even a good idea? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Geoff

Hi Paul Last set for the X5 were from Euro Car Parts by QH Disc's and Pads around £100 if my wallet remembers correctly Dave

Morning Darren I brought mine a few years ago (2009 if I recall) through Ebay. Make the checks mine was from a UK seller with good feed back who also offered back up. Before that I used BMW 1.4.0 (still have it on the same laptop) Where ever you buy just make the normal sensible checks to make sure you will have support if needed Dave

Where would be the best place to purchase Ista /Inpa Regards Darren

Hi all, time for me to change my front discs on the E64. Has anyone got any experience on discs manufacturer and things to avoid. I am just going for plain vented discs as per standard spec on the vehicle. Advice always welcome
-
Morning Darren The obvious one is BMW ISTA/INPA not the cheapest but by far the most comprehensive and gives Dealer level access. Require a little patience to master but well worth it (my opinion) Then there are systems by Autologic, iCarsoft, Bimmerlink and Foxwell, all work well but are not as comprehensive as ISTA/INPA (mine has WIS and TIS). There are also a few systems which are Subscription led such as Carly Personally if I have tools I want to own them not rent them so I prefer to buy the complete package (on an old laptop that lives in my garage I have Diagnostics programs for Volvo, Merc, VW, and BMW. Plus an Autologic scanner and a BMW iCarsoft scanner (I am a born tinkerer and a boy needs toys) One diagnostic session at a Dealer will probably cost close to £200 plus any remedial work they can recommend?? So owning your own which will allow adaptions, registration and reprogramming work to be carried out will save £££ in the long run. Good Luck Dave

Besides, I could never understand why someone would sell you something but not set it up for you to use. BMW USA is not the most logical company to talk to, just like they would advise against using WDH but could not produce documentation to support it. Fortunately my dealer was helpful when I tried to figure out the break controller wiring. They even ordered a set of plugs for me although I eventually went with the Etrailer harness.
