X Drive and Snow/Ice
Morning David Welcome to the Forum Nice motor ENJOY I am now on my 3rd BMW X5, the current one is a Diesel model I live in the South of the UK and it's quite a few years since we had any significant snow, how ever in the winter one of my hobbies is shooting so spend a fair amount of time Off Road on slippery Chalk tracks and soft mud. We also go into France and Northern Italy for a little skiing. I have never had any real issues and have pulled quite a few folks out of places where they have got stuck. I keep a spare set of Wheels with Winter Tyres as parts of Europe they used to be a legal requirement (Obviously where the snow is) But in the UK average temperature haven't been below freezing for very long at all (a week or 2) I haven't bothered for quite a few years now. Short answer as you already know how to adjust your driving when it's slippery conditions with your work truck so you shouldn't have any drama's ENJOY your Beemer Dave -

F31 has knocking on o/s/f area
Morning Rob Welcome to the Forum From your description the knock can be heard/felt in the steering, jack up the car and spin the wheel can it be felt/heard. I would expect a noise/knock to indicate possible damage to (a) Wheel and Tyre (b) Wheel Bearing issue (c) Brake Disc issue (d) something loose Without seeing feeling hearing the noise it is impossible for us to diagnose your issue only give clues of where to look Hope this helps Dave -

2018 218i F22 Vanos solenoid, exhaust location
Morning Gavin Welcome to the Forum Take a look at www.realoem.com the small exploded drawings should help. Put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will show your model then look in the engine section. Never worked on a 218 but Vanos is normally top front of each camshaft I think the actuator has to be removed to get access to the valve/solenoid. Not sure if you have them on inlet and exhaust on your engine but Realoem will confirm that Dave -

Can't Figure Out An Icon
Hello New BMW owner here (2024 540i XDrive). Haven't driven it much because I just had surgery. Still learning about the car/console/dashboard, etc. etc. Been over the manual several times, and cannot find the answer. Could one of you kind people tell me what that little arrowhead I circled in red in my image is? It was never there before, and I must have inadvertently pressed something to make it appear. Could you let me know what it is, and how did I get it there? I could not find it in the manual or when I went to Google. Thanks so much for any help, Susan -
