Shot in the dark but could be alternator

BMW's are renowned for the pipes to slightly weep up to the Power-Steering Reservoir ! HTH ;)

There are only TWO fixes to this issue... New pipes (expensive) or whack some Jubilee clips over the connections !!

could be me........tho

Hello mate, Have triangle and everything else, you would nt have the first aid kit and the torch for the glovebox by anychance for the 7.. Cheers mate

welcome mate, nice car

The alarm was an extra on the bmw, but not sure if you would have the light but bmw do silly things like put in the parts but dont connect them unless you pay, so either you have'nt got an alarm connected but does sound odd as you have the light but like i say it was an extra and std you have an immobiliser or somewhere it is disconnected or a fuse something like that, as the red light should be flashing when locked up but you cant see it flashing in daylight as so dim but at night in the dark you would. If you have the handbooks still have a look in there about the alarms, if not i have all the handbooks but will have a look, although mine is on the dash but i have a 2001 728 sport just before the new shape.

If nothing works on the steering wheel sounds like you have a prob with it, fuses like mart said or bad connection, also when you pair up your phone to the BM you have to put in a code into the BM to unlock it, not sure but but think its something like 0000 but that is once it finds your phone using bluetooth.....I had this on a 530d 06 plate..but also are you sure it has the comms pack as this was a very expensive extra... but if nothing works sounds like there is some sort of problem.

Saving it up in a penny jar...whoever wins will get it in 1p s
