  1. I wouldn’t like to say yes, it’s not something I’ve done before. Honestly don’t be scared to be liberal with the silly spray, it makes a mess but usually yields results. My E63 drivers window made a helluva racket and finally shut up once I’d emptied Amazons stock of WD-40. Good luck 👍🏼
  2. I’d suggest silicon spraying all the rubbers, even put some on the glass 👍🏼
  3. Recently ordered a steering wheel re-trim from royal steering wheels, he contacted me today that a customer let him down he was anticipating it being a lane assist wheel, I was supposed to collect on Friday. basically I have lane assist thingy on my e63, which I used once the day I bought the car to see if it worked, I’d happily live without it just wondering if my car will chuck a code if I fit it?

  4. Morning, I think I may have but I’ll double check later 👍🏼 I’ll try the battery over the weekend. I do think it’s the ccc searching for factory Bluetooth that’s causing it, who knows. once I’ve checked all that lot, I may take you up on your offer, pease pottage services work? Mark
  5. Hi Dave, thanks for the detailed reply 👍🏼 Yeh I may do the dealer trick, nothing to lose I suppose. the box of tricks I’ve bought stole the cd changer plug to power the unit to integrate with CCC system, so I’m actually a little confused to why the factory phone has sh*t itself. My hands free calling comes through CarPlay now with an aftermarket sticky on mic. part of me is wondering if I’ve missed something plugging it all back in, but pretty sure I haven’t. the bmw bong of doom and orange ! On the mfd is bugging the life out of me. if you’re a man who can code in/out I’d be happy to send a couple of quid your way. West Sussex isn’t that far really. Mark

  7. Hi all e63 owner. I’m based in Hampshire and require some coding i bought an aftermarket CarPlay box of tricks, but it’s now triggering the sos failure because the car is looking for oem Bluetooth. I assume I just need it coded out. The orange ! On the MFD is bugging the life out me. Thanks.
