No boost and strange noise
Thanks Dave - just noticed your post as Outlook has been filing the notification in Junk Mail. I took it to a local turbo specialist who specialize in diagnosing root cause of turbo faults/failures. They advised that the actuator that switches between the high and low pressure turbos was not holding vacuum. He said he could try replacing it but that wouldn't fix the underlying problem. He pointed out that there was oil in the intercooler pipes and recommended have both turbos refurbished. Apparently, the soot build up in the DPF caused by short trips reduces airflow in the exhaust which increases the pressure on the hot side of the turbo. The seals in the hot/low pressure side are prone to leak if the exhaust pressure increases and the leaking oil is carbonized which further damages the seals. His explanation makes sense to me and I didn't want to pay to have the actuator replaced only to have further problems in the near future. The turbos have been removed and sent for refurb and I'm expecting a bill of around £2,500 ☹️. I asked if the refurbed turbos would fail again if I keep doing short trips and he said not if I ask him to "delete" the DPF. -

Mobile Phone Connection
Hi all, I have a 2023 G21. My works phone will connect to the car straight away. My own phone, a Pixel Pro 9 will not. I have tried forgetting the car in my phone settings, the car does not have the phone stored in it's memory. It connects for a split second then immediately disconnects. Interestingly, it won't register as a digital key either. Before I head off to BMW and look foolish, would anyone be able to offer a suggested fix please? Thanks -

Aircon specialist in South East?
HI Folks, After an 8 month search finally found a cracking M365csi with no real rust! Only issue apart from the terrible headlights that make night driving a bit scary is that the aircon doesn't work. Lots of glass which is great for visibility but does get hot in there! Seller assured me it used to work but it's been stored unused for a while so maybe leaking? Anyone recommend a really good auto aircon specialist that they would trust with a 39 year old car - somewhere near High Wycombe preferably. thanks Ken -
