Hi I recently bought a 320d on a 2004 plate  I was happy with said purchase until the other day it cut out without warning and would crank but not start I googled this and found it could possibly be a fuse in the EMU box a fuse was blown in the box so I changed it which then blew as soon as I turned the electric on there is 4 fuses and it's if your looking at it from the front it's the 20 amp on the first left can anyone help at all please before I put it in autoelectronics garage and it costs me a fortune thanks in advance.

Hi Chris....welcome to the Forum

I would advise taking the car to an auto electrician, as it's a 20 amp fuse which suggests that there is a short circuit to earth, which if the fuse did not blow then an electrical fire could ensue, which is definitely not a good outcome. For what it cost, and it may be quite quick that the sparky finds the fault, but without the knowledge and equipment to trace the fault it is a non-event in my mind.

Let us know what you find

Cheers,  Trevor

I'm hoping I get the car back tomorrow I'll get a full description of the fault all I know at the min is they have found the faulty wire but it disappears round the other side of the engin block.

Cheers

Apologies for the late reply busy time turns out one big wire runs out of the EMU and splits into six wires under a manifold and one of the runs near the EGR the wire had come loose and rubbed on it shorted and kept blowing a fuse. £325 quid lighter cars running although it's struggling from 3500 to 4000 revs going to check pipes to turbo/clean or blank EGR and a few other checks hopefully it will be all sorted by the end of the weekend.

Cheers

Chris

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
