A couple of weeks ago I was a very silly boy - I spilt water onto the iDrive controller of my 2010 F10. The system functioned intermittently for a while then packed in but then came back to life apart from the fact that I cannot now activate a selection with the control wheel. For example, I may select 'Radio', move up and down the stations but nothing happens when I press the wheel down to engage. Also, none of the other buttons work on the controller when they are pressed to select. Do I need a new unit?

Morning Paul

Electrics and fluids never mix well, probably easier to change the controller get the part number of the unit fitted and Google for sources

Good Luck

So far as i know they are not usually a known failure point so id look out for a second hand unit. Shouldnt be hard to find. Wouldnt want to ask how much a new one would be 😬

      X2 coding issue rear indicator failed. Help!!

      Hi James If you aren't aware take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model then look at Lights section. You should be able to see what you need and get an idea of how it goes together. If you need parts you will have the Part numbers then just Google them to get the best price It was the rear unit I wondered if the indicator was a Bulb (it is on the E70) Dave

      unable to figure why has crank no start 02' 330xi E46

      Keys! have you tried a different key? does everything light up when you turn the key? when you switch the key to position 2, can you hear the fuel pump start to prime? (Whirling noise under the rear seat) the immobiliser will cut the fuel pump so if that doesn’t start to prime, then the immobiliser is the issue and the key/ reader is at fault. it happened to my x5. the fuel pump failed on my e46 too..
