Hi to all new subscribers to this site, nice to "meet" you.

I have just bought my 10th BMW which is a 530D e61. Iv'e had newer and older ones, bigger and smaller ones (mostly 5 series though) as well as other cars like Saabs and Jags in between. But I always come back to a Beamer it seems. Nothing matches the chunkyness of the interiors or the engineering precision and newness of the drive, even on a high mileage car.

I'm not a mechanical guy but hope to be able to contribute and network with other blokes like me when I could do with a bit of help.

As a starter contribution, I saw a thread on asking the question on how to disable the alarm on an E60/61 for shipping or other purposes, which seemed not to find a solution. In the end I found the answer which is:

(on an e61) the fuse box is in the boot behind the carpet in the fold down compartment on the right hand side as you stand behind the car. There is a map of the fuses behind the tool panel located in the boot door.It shows that fuse number 51 is for the alarm (only). Remove it with a pair of plastic tweezers and the alarm will be disabled. Not sure where the fusebox is on an e60, but I imagine it's still separate can can be removed.

Hope that helps someone.

Cheers everyone!

      Luggage 'Lashing Eyes' in boot

      Hello everyone, Recently changed my X1 xDrive 2.0 Sport for an Active Tourer 220i M Sport, which unfortunately has no luggage Lashing Eyes. I think they may be fitted to the Luxury Trim version.My X1 did have them. When I approached BMW UK, they informed me that to look up the appropriate Part Numbers for ordering (so I can have them retrofitted) they need a VIN. When I supplied my VIN, that didn't work because on my model, the parts weren't factory fitted. There are holes in the boot trim and bodywork, in the correct places, but they are currently filled with plastic blanking inserts. Anyone out there any suggestions , or if you've got them fitted on your model, could you email me your VIN so I could use it in attempt to source the part numbers. If you're worried about disclosing your VIN, don't be, remember its visible through your windscreen whenever you park your car. If you can help it'll be much appreciated.

      Low Oil Pressure warning

      I have a 2010 320i Sport Automatic. 60k miles. In heavy slow moving traffic I get the low oil pressure warning light. It doesn’t happen on the motorway. The car drives perfectly. I’ve had it in at my trusted independent garage and they changed oil and filter. They found remnants of the chain guide etc but the problem has returned within a few hundred miles of driving. Because the car doesn’t go into Limp mode and drives as intended, my instinct is that it’s not causing any engine damage but it’s definitely spoiling my enjoyment of the car. I wish I could find out why it happens. Any ideas?

      Gas Exhaust Recirculation Cooler Replacement

      Morning Sam Welcome to the Forum From what I have read the warranty extension on the part is because replacement parts deliveries are so restricted, delayed. I guess BMW have to consider manufacture of cars as well as recall/replacement of faulted parts All a bit of a mess really and poor communication doesn't improve things maybe Angela Ripon's show can help Good Luck Dave

      M buttons

      Morning Connah If they are listed in www.realoem.com then you should be able to get them. If not then it is a search of the after market I don't remember seeing them separate (doesn't mean they are not out there) Good Hunting Dave

      Gas Exhaust Recirculation Cooler Replacement

      Can anyone explain why BMW are extending the warranty for 15 years on this part. They will not reply if they are manufacturering the part or when part will be available. Why 15 years Warranty? Car was recalled 2019. Trying Goverment Ombudsman for answers.
