Copy Ignition Key?
Hi Norm, great news on the grandchild. Hope you had a great time. here is a video of a great step by step guide. my ews module is on the drivers side footwell… (rhs ) it’s a light grey box, looks like a cigarette box size. it’s a faff to do at the start, but once you understand how to read and write, it’s a breeze. -

Copy Ignition Key?
Hi Stu, sorry for the delay in getting back 2U. We had the grandchild here from Ozztralia for 2 weeks. (OMG!) I got the programmer as you suggested. Can you tell me where the unit is located I plug the AK90+ unit into? Thanks, Norm. -

2010 E84 X1
Hi Mick Welcome to the Forum First wheel rotation if the tyres are asymetric then that will not work as you will end up with tyres turning against their rotational arrows also check your wheel if you have the same tyre sizes front and rear it's normally less of an issue. X5's the E53 in particular used to suffer with camber issues at the rear due to the lower spherical bearing failing it wore tyres on the inner edge but most of them had a much wider rear tyre set my 4.6is and E70 has 275x40x20 front 315X35X20 rear. More of a tyre/cost issue than transmission damaging though The X1 E84 has a slightly different rear axel set up but is still adjustable for both Camber and Toe. If you are competent with spanners actually changing rear bushes isn't such a difficult job the one piece of advice I would give is there are eccentric bolts for camber and toe I replace those as a matter of course to make sure everyth can be aligned properly. If you don't have one hire or borrow a bearing push/pull kit and your away. should take about 11/2hrs per side. I mark the position of the eccentric bolts with tippex so it goes back the same then when the job is done off the tyre shop that can handle 4 wheel alignment. Take a look at www.realoem.com if you aren't aware it is an online BMW parts list put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box then check out the rear axel section Hope this helps Dave -

2010 E84 X1
Hi. I'm new to this. Just bought a 2010 E84 X1 and looking for advice please. I've heard that the camber of the wheels can play havoc with your drive train and also they tyre wear. Any suggestions for rotation of the wheels (no pun intended) and tread depth differences? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Mick.
