My 2011 BMW X1's differential exploded after 50000 miles. BMW kindly covered the cost of parts, and I contributed towards the labour.

Now at 13 years old the transmission has failed. Is it repairable or do a scrap an otherwise good car

Hi Peter

With the X-drive the gearbox is made by ZF so a good Transmission specialist or better yet a ZF agent should be able to fix things.

When was the gearbox last serviced ? Often the gearbox is forgotten

      iPhone 17 with iOS 26 issue

      Morning Darren Welcome to the Forum I take it your previous phone was iphone which it seemed worked OK ? If so as nothing else but the phone has changed this is more a question for Apple than BMW Make sure all previous registrations are cleared on the car then re-register your phone if that doesn't work ask one of the Apple Forums Sorry best I can think of for an Old Android Bloke Dave

      2019 X1 stereo system upgrade

      Hi Rick If you look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your Model Then search the Audio section you will find small exploded drawings showing where speakers are for each system. Get the part numbers for the HK stuff then search the internet for the best prices and supply. You could get all the HK stuff and AMP and swap them yourself make sure the under seat speakers are there and working then add a sub if you need it May not be as costly as you think Dave

      2019 X1 stereo system upgrade

      Thank you for your help. The car has a big standard speaker setup. It isn’t good. The HK system normally has badges and identifiers but the car has no such markings. im going to fit a sub in the cavity in the boot, some decent mid range in the doors then some tweeters in the door pillars. The job now is to find someone who can do the job properly and not charge a fortune

      2019 X1 stereo system upgrade

      Morning Rick Harman Kardon were the top of the OEM line so a starting point is use a Vin Decoder to check what was fitted at build S676A is Hifi S674A is Harman Kardon Next check that all speakers are working including the central base speakers under the front seats. It isn't unusual for door speakers to fail particularly if there has been water ingress. If everything is working but is standard Hifi an upgrade to HK components may give what you want (Speakers Amp etc) If it is already HK then your in the hands of the aftermarket Audio specialists Hope this Helps Dave
