Hello guys , just purchased my first BMW. A very tidy E38 728i Sport with 32k on the clock, has a couple of little bits that need sorting apart from that a very nice car.

Just want to pick a few brains, I've seen these bmw software programs on eBay that allows you to find clear faults as well as program parts are these any good ? Or am I wasting my money, can anybody point me in the right direction for this software?

Many thanks.

Matt.

welcome to the forum Matt - :)

I think its a handy tool to have & will clear most faults however I have seen that they don't always pick up the correct fault.

something like ncs expert software loaded on to a laptop will be more thorough & up to notch.

      Insane insurance quotation !

      Hi again Dave. That is an interesting bit of info about the X5. I was looking at buying one some years ago when I was towing the Elddis Crusader Super Sirocco but being only 4'10" tall with an inside leg measurement of 23" the floor was a long way off of my feet and having had a total left knee replacement I risked doing some damage if I landed awkward- so I stayed with my Volvo V70 Auto's. Yes I will hold on to the E46 and see what happens when the insurance for the E63 comes up for renewal. The initial change of policy from the C220 CDI Avantegard Auto Estate at £90.00 will allow me time for a proper Summer and Autumn time appraisal before the renewal is due in November.

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      The 50e I HAD did not have the trailering package from the factory and would not allow a weight distribution hitch with sway control. Because of that, I now have a 2025 X5 XDrive 40i with the factory towing package that will allow the weight distribution/ sway control hitch. This works well.

      BMW X5 40e White smoke at startup after 3 or 4 days notinuse.

      To wrap this up, - my X5 was stolen from my driveway a few weeks ago. The white smoke at start-up is now somebody else's problem. ( Probably a turbo oil seal. ) The car was moved to a secluded location and the built-in tracker was disabled. The BMW app showed it about 5Km from my house but when the police went there there was no car to be found. I'd put a new transfer box into it which was €5K but thankfully didn't have the turbo reconditioned (€2k). Waiting for the insurance money. Probably will go for a 2019 3 Series 330i hybrid. My days of sitting high at the lights are over :-(

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      Great information regarding towing. I have the 2024 x5 50e. I am curious as to what drive mode you use while towing, hybrid I assume?

      Bmw X5 Security Issue... Important

      Well, my 2016 X5 was stolen from my driveway last month. They got into my house and took the spare key. I used the BMW app to locate the car about 5 Km from my home but that was the location where the thieves disabled the tracker and moved the car on. Probably in parts now, or in a container bound for Dubai. Jokes on them though. The turbo is due to let go any day now...
