Moring DIMA Welcome to the Forum If we don't know the car, can't see the car how can we give an opinion ?? I may as well ask for your opinion on my E70 If your considering purchasing an F10 528i then History History History and General condition are the way to go a well maintained and looked after car always stands out Dave

Morning Rhys To release the cables you need to remove the Disc/Drum assembly if it is Drivers side you may be able to release the cable at the actuator end but it will be a fiddle but doable. Have you tried rocking the car backwards and forwards I had to do that using Drive/Rev several times before it un jammed. I have also seen one where the cable outer was firmly jammed in the hub (the Dealer solution was New Hub New Actuator cost was enough to write off the car) My solution remove the retaining clip then drive out the cable outer using a long pin punch. It took loads of soaking in penetrating fluid and a big club hammer but it came out 🤣 Replaced the brake shoes replaced Actuator and cable then the Disc/Hub the friend I was doing it for brought an Actuator assembly from Ebay and a set of Pads/Shoes from a local Auto Factor. That was 3 maybe 4 years ago and no problems. Good Luck Dave

Morning Andrew That would indicate a fault with the Air Intake Temp sensor Dave

🤣🤣E53 car wash mode 🤣🤣

When I had the AMG's 10k was average for the rears anything over and your locked in Miss Daisy mode 🤣

So the old Lead Foot syndrome tyre effect 🤣 Dave

Morning Garry Welcome to the Forum You should have an Engine compartment fuse/relay box up near a scuttle (probably hidden under a cover) R1 is normally the DME/DDE relay. I take it all fuses have been checked carefully also check the Main fuse box in the cabin fuses and Relays. What leads you to think there is an issue with the relay? Dave

Morning Jakub Welcome to the Forum I would guess that there is either a problem with a flawed file in the re-flash, is it the original or a file you obtained? I suppose you have tried clearing it down and re-flashing again, run a diagnostic scan before re-flashing to make sure there are no issues that can interfere Good Luck Dave

Morning Martin Welcome to the Forum My bet is Battery dying check the voltage at the charge points under the bonnet, anything below 12.5v with the engine off would indicate a discharged or dying battery. Good Luck Dave

Hi Rhys If the cable has a Ball on the end it is OEM if it has a Loop it is probably an aftermarket replacement not that that's a problem just indicates it has been changed before. I have seen one where the EPB unit had been replaced 3 times by the owner but he hadn't checked shoe wear and adjusted them ?? I needed a Claw hammer to get enough leverage to release the jammed cable. When I took the unit off the car I took it apart and was actually able to release it internally and save the unit (he has it as a spare now) Like most things on a car if it's looked after it will last a long long time Dave

Morning Craig Welcome to the Forum Stu is on the right track but when you push the button on the end of the stalk and the green light is on that is the rain sensor enabled, wiper should then operate when the sensor is obscured by water on the screen, just either spray water or sprinkle some on the screen. A single click down intermittent two clicks up for full operation and high speed a push towards the dash is intermittent rear wash wipe push towards the dash and click should give full rear wiper operation Dave

Hi Colin and Welcome What are you needing to learn about ? Happy to help if we can Dave

Hi Ty Welcome to the Forum Try Googling the Register of BMW Specialists they are normally ex BMW guys so will have knowledge and the right kit. There should be one local to you Good Luck Dave

Hi Left side of the boot rear cubby there is a manual release for the Parking Brake, if you haven't found it. I have seen one where the shoes were badly worn and it allows the Parking Brake mechanism to over wind and jam (the screech) then a chunk of shoe material had detached, I released the PB then reversed the car which freed the brake. New shoes and a reset of the PB all good. It sounds like yours may have had a poor maintenance back ground Dave

Morning Chas dee Welcome to the Forum Either BMW or any with an anti fungal additive (I use Prestone) Enjoy your Beemer Dave
