Hi there all. I recently bought a bmw x1 xdrive 2014. There is smoke entering through the heater vents. Looking online ppl suggested replacing head cover and gasket. Has anyone done it? Is there anyone in Birmingham who can do it? Thank you

Hi Asif

Welcome to the Forum

First check to find out where the smoke is coming from, once your sure then make a decision on whether you can (a) DIY or (b) pay a garage. If it is the Garage route then an Internet search for BMW Specialists (there is a Register of BMW Specialists) should bring up a couple at least who are not to far from you. Then talk to them about costs etc

Good luck

Dave

      Recall letter

      I received a letter from BMW today recalling my 330i in order to replace the starter motor which in the worst case scenario could catch fire. I was wondering if anyone else had received one or is it just aimed at the 330i series or is it across all model ranges. I got in touch with my local dealership who took my car and contact details and informed me that they would get in touch once they received a supply of starter motors, but it would more than likely be at least a month or longer until I would hear from them. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience.

      Window tinting

      Sorry for the confusion I haven't got a reversing camera I was going to fit one that actually goes with the boot handle not inside the glass, sound advice I'm paying for a professional install but as the car is from 2016 maybe best to go a few shades lighter?

      Window tinting

      To be honest, Limo only looks good if it’s done right. Any blemish or pitting on the window makes it look like a bin bag. The camera would only work if it was touching the window so maybe go a couple of shades less 👍🏻

      2019 X4 M40i,Driving mode button not working

      Welcome Trevor Try and check Check fuse F46 / F48 (glovebox) and F60 (rear right) first. Then Inspect for any signs of spilled liquid around the buttons. Also disconnect battery for 5–10 minutes to hard-reset modules. If nothing then can with diagnostic tool, look for “Switch Cluster” or “Center Console Electronics” faults. If still no lights or function, likely module failure or connector dislodged. Hope this helps
