My Fold 7 usually connects straight away when I get in, however every now and then I have to select android auto on the idrive to get it to connect. It may do this because I open the car to put dog in then go back in house with phone in pocket and it drops connection, yet other times I do it and it re-connects straight away. Does your work phone have a higher profile order than the personal one? With regards to digital key, do you need/have BMW digital key set up card? Video here Found this: Creating Driver Profile A driver profile is created or via iDrive: 1. "CAR". 2. "Driver profiles". 3. Move the Controller to the right. As an alternative for Steps 1 to 3, the profile image can be tapped in the top status bar. 4. "Add driver profile". ConnectedDrive countries: An existing ConnectedDrive account must be assigned to a driver profile. If a ConnectedDrive account has not yet been created, the account can be created via a smartphone. A QR code will be displayed on the Control Display for this purpose. The creation of the driver profile can continue with the access data of the created ConnectedDrive account. Selecting recognition The settings for the recognition are entered via iDrive: 1. "CAR" 2. "Driver profiles" 3. Move the Controller to the right. As an alternative for Steps 1 to 3, the profile image can be tapped in the top status bar. 4. "Driver recognition" 5. Select the desired setting: "with vehicle key". The vehicle key that is recognized in the car's interior is assigned to the driver profile. If multiple vehicle keys are detected, the unintended vehicle keys must be removed from the car's interior. "With Digital Key". The digital key that is recognized in the car's interior is assigned to the driver profile. If multiple digital keys are detected, the unintended digital keys must be removed from the car's interior. 6. "Activate linkage" As soon as the vehicle detects the vehicle key or the digital key, the corresponding driver profile will be activated. If the vehicle key or the smartphone with the digital key is not carried with you or the vehicle key or digital key is not recognized, the driver profile can only be selected on the Welcome screen when a PIN has been set up. Setting up a PIN A driver profile with recognition cannot be activated without vehicle key and without digital key. In this case, a PIN can be set up to activate the driver profile.

No letter yet, but I checked on BMW website I have a open recall for it 320 Xdrive 2019. Again as others have said dealer waiting for parts.

Going by that really enticing and highly detailed description, colour me not very interested. If you want to sell it as Reacher would say "details matter!"

ah, obviously the foot spa optional extra wasn't installed correctly. Did you find the cause? Water is a sod, I had a slight leak into my wheel well (about an egg cup full). Tried it out and kept an eye on it, it never has so far come back and I never did find the cause. My current working theroy is that it may have been when BMW wet vacced the carpet before sale. I know it sound rather rudimentary but you could try taping paper towel around the footwell above the waterline, that would at least give you an idea of where it's coming from if it's coming from the sides. If its holding that much water then I would'nt have thought it would be leaking from underneath as surely it would drain away. Is the carpet in the front dry? Door seal on correctly? My old golf, I had slightly moved the door seal and it was suprising how much water did get through. Do you have any drain holes somewhere near the boot hinge?

Hi Paul, Out of interest does you wireless charge tray actually charge your phone? Or does it just turn it into a small heater that get hotter than the sun, causing the phone to shut down due to overheat and put a very small amout of charge in it as mine does?

I fully agree! I've had a set of winter wheels for the golf since I bought it in 2012, purely becasue I wanted a proper spare wheel. 4 x alloys with winter tyres (same size as summer wheels/tyres) and wheel bags £800 (on offer) from VW a spare alloy with tyres (to match what was already on there) £800, so what do you think I went for?

I think I will go non run flat when its time to change. Purely for ride comfort. Its the only thing I can fault my G21 on, you know if you hit a bump or pot hole. My friend changed his to non run flats on the mini and it made so much difference to ride comfort, and with the state of the roads these days... I'll be honest I didn't think insurance would be bothered, if a tyre fits surely its fine? I know some of them were being asses a while back with people fitting winter tyres saying they had modified their cars.

Argh, don't tell me that! Just looking in my warranty and it's not covered either.🙄

my G21 every now and then makes a clicking when opened. I assume this is normal.🤔

Hi All, I currently have the original wheels on a staggered set up. If going to winter wheels/tyres do I need to go staggered or will same all round be fine? What size wheels? Currently on 18"s.

They ended up phoning me back to ask why I hadn't take out the service with them. After explaining I didn't agree with the reset fee, she said would you use us if we can do something.., anyway long story short she offered £73 all in. So had it done. Service agent at Synter was less than happy with the price, but thats another story.

Not quite as it seems, had I clicked all the way to the end an extra £15 for safe and environmentally friendly disposal. A whopping £27.50 to reset the service light!!!😕 Not overly impressed with the last one. I declined.

What's the brake bleed kit you use? I have Autel diagnostic, so I may attempt brake fluid further down the line. With this weather though I'll get BMW to do this one.

Got an email saying brake fluid needed doing (plus the car is nagging me), thought I share my customised price. Vehicle Inspection £81.00 down from £123.00 Engine Oil service with microfilter £234.38 down from £310.00 Engine Oil service with microfilter, air filter & fuel filter £391.88 down from £510.30 Replace Air filter (every 2nd oil service) £45.25 down from £52.25 Replace Diesel fuel filter (every 2nd oil service) £112.25 down from £147.25 Brake fluid service £61.45 down from £147.25 I'll get the brake fluid done as it seems a bargin compared to the oil services. I just changed the oil and oil filter myself after 10,000 miles for around £25 paying retail prices, so it makes theirs a bit steep.

Same, magic of Google "BMW Owners Club"
