Before turning the starter can you hear the pump priming? It will be a slight buzz, if not then suspect that.

If no fuel from filter then it will be the pump or its electrical feed - run a live to the pump from the battery.

There WILL be air in the system also so while you assess the pump with a live feed (and it works) press the valve on the fuel rail to expel air...

If NO joy with direct live feed then it will be the pump, if it works then suspect the relay or wiring ;)

      Centre console iPhone charger

      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

      Failed turbo

      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
