Hi 

I own an E53 3.0 diesel X5 and am having issues with slow cranking, narrowed it down to the earth strap from the engine to the body can anybody tell me the location of this before I start taking the car apart to find it please.

many thanks Dan

Hi Daniel

Welcome to the Forum

From memory there are 2 earth straps the main one is on the right engine mount to the chassis. I haven't done this on a Diesel but it should be in the same place you may have to remove the splash guards to get at it. There is also a secondary strap on the exhaust towards the back of the car.

Hope this helps 

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

      U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers

      Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum Sounds like BMW have decided you shouldn't go near any dirt or mud in your 220i Touring 🤣 That leaves little choice really. have you thought of checking Mud Flaps from either the 1 series or 3 series cars it may be they can be modified to fit ? If not it means the after market accessories have you Googled to see what if anything comes up Good Luck with the search Dave
