Brakes applying themselves
Morning Mark Welcome to the Forum Your car has Disc's front and rear plus the master cylinder, I assume that the garage changed both the front calliper's and discs? Brakes don't apply themselves unless your car has Cruise Control with distance control (which I don't believe 1 series had). That leaves the Rear callipers or Master cylinder, if the binding happens a hand near the wheel centre will let you feel the heat (don't touch the wheel or hub unless you don't mind loosing skin 😁) If all brakes are binding or even just the Front I would suspect the Master cylinder remember it is separate to the Vacuum Servo Good Luck Dave -

Brakes applying themselves
Good evening Hopefully you can advise me, I have a 2015 (facelift) 1 series , last week I was driving and the brakes seemed to apply thereselves, slowing the car right down. After pulling over and waiting a while it drove fine. Then a few days later happened again with a burning smell from front left I took it to the garage and they said a stick caliper, they also replaced disk and pads As well as calipers. I picked it up £790 lighter and its happened again. I'll be calling them first thing in the morning to see what they say I've done the basic servo check, engine off pump break until hard, start engine and the pedal releases so surely this can't be the servo. Any ideas at all? I'd like to speak with them having a little knowledge many thanks in advance Mark . -

E90 320i Help With OBD II Port
Morning Tino My copy of INPA/ISTA worked straight out of the box (lucky me) it runs on a Win7 laptop that I already had Merc Star, Volvo, Toyota/Subaru, and a couple of other Diagnostic progs on. However one of our sons friend has a 1 series road car and a 1 series Drift car he was always here or borrowing !! Finally he has brought his own 😁 his copy runs on Win10 laptop we downloaded a Virtual Machine loaded Win 7 then followed all the directions but it took 3 attempts to load the Drivers. With his copy he has 2 Com leads one Yellow Ethernet that is for ISTA a Silver USB lead that has the 3 position switch that one is for INPA and is where we had problems with Drivers I have mailed James he has put a request to the Techies in Germany fingers crossed they get an answer. His first thought is a Can bus issue as he says normally they work unless something physical is broken (a wire or pins) Dave P.S. I only use the Ethernet cable with mine as ISTA seems fine being backwards compatible -

E90 320i Help With OBD II Port
Hello again Dave 👋, well, as of this time I'm still having issues establishing a connection with INPA. I'm certain I have everything on the laptop setup properly. Adapter is set to COM1 and latency is set to 1. I'm wondering if maybe the driver is the issue? I was told that the resistor is a "terminating resistor". It seems each device (and the OBD port qualifies as a device) has to have a certain resistance across those CAN lines. So I don't think the wiring is causing a communication issue at this point. Wiring is factory and should allow for communication with INPA at the very least. The adapter I have does have a 3 position switch, and to be fair I only tried two of the three positions. I'm heading back out to the car now and I'll attempt establishing a connection through INPA one more time while moving the switch between the 3 positions to see if any one position makes a successful connection. I'll come back with results on tha. I'm still wondering if the issue is the JBE module or some other module that is causing the communication issue, but how exactly do I test for that? If your ex neighbour could assist that would be amazing! I really appreciate it Dave 🙏 I'll attach the adapter settings in case you want to look over them, as well as the adapter switch and wiring.
