Hi Christine BMW's are well known for being sensitive to Battery voltage I have seen quite a few with either a parasitic discharge or discharged battery. The discharged battery will still start the car but diverts all energy to the start triggering all sorts of spurious warnings. For your information if the battery is charged on the car it should only be charged from the charge points under the bonnet. At the battery your car has an IBS lead (Intelligent Battery System) which lets the cars system know if it is charging or not. I have seen a few BMW's that have batteries changed and the lead has not been reconnected Transmissions are pretty robust but just like the Engine do need servicing Hope you get it sorted Dave

Morning Christine Welcome to the Forum I would be concerned about your garage as the only time I have seen that code was on an X5 with an incorrectly fitted battery (IBS not connected)? First I would point out that I am not a garage just an old engineer with an insatiable need to know 😅 I also have a fully up to-date BMW Diagnostic program and have worked on my own X5's since 2002. Google the register of BMW Specialists you should find one close by I would start with the battery, get the Voltage checked at the Charging points under the bonnet. Engine off it should show 12.5v minimum with the engine running 14.5v min. Also check the battery connections in the boot make sure the IBS (small lead) is connected Hope this helps Dave

Morning Chris Welcome to the Forum Used to hear this a lot when catalyser's were bedding in but haven't heard it for a while. Are most of your journeys short duration ? Maybe a couple of longer runs will get the Cat up to temperature and clear it Dave

Hi Alex Welcome to the Forum 804415 ....Radio remote control.... Permanent (replaced the battery in the remote, deleted code but it came back) Have you tried another key or do you just have the 1 ? Try using a good contact cleaner on the Battery contacts 80442A .....Light operating unit .... Intermittent Sounds like the Rotary control switch unplug it and contact cleaner again plug and switch 48069E ..... Wheel calibration....permanent The next 6 codes are all related either the TPMS control is having a hissy fit or one or more of the wheel sensors have an issue 4806F4....rear right .... Intermittent 48077C...front left.... permanent 48077D....front right.... permanent 48077E.....rear left .... permanent 48077F....rear right... permanent 13820A...radiator blind blocked..... permanent Have you checked for any physicall blockage ? Check Fuses and Relay 13820B.....radiator blind blocked.... permanent Hope this helps Dave

hi Endrit Welcome to the Forum Some leaks can be a pain to find. I start by first cleaning thoroughly then run the engine and start at the top Cam Cover check for signs of a leak working down to the drip point Are you sure of the engine our friends car same year as yours is B47 Dave

Hi Sam Not sure what Diagnostic you used as I can't find that code ( use ISTA/INPA BMW specific) the only 480 codes I have seen are DPF driven so really odd. As for the ABS you can remove the control unit from the pump (4 Torx Bolts) without removing/disturbing the Hydraulics then send it to someone like ECU Testing who repair them. Before doing that it's worth checking the loom for damage Hope this helps Dave

Morning Daniel Welcome to the Forum My first thought is get a Diagnostic scan done, second thought is early 2000's BMW's many suffered a lurch in the transmission when stopping. When was the transmission serviced last ? I haven't heard of people suffering this from the lurch for years Dave

Morning James Welcome to the Forum If you are not aware check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model then search the sections (not sure if it will be in Trim or Electrical) for the correct Part Number. When you have it search the Internet for the best supply Good Luck Dave

Morning Dan Welcome to the Forum That doesn't look right, was the belt that came off fraying on the inside or outside (very disappointing the garage didn't pick it up) is it catching somewhere I wonder? If changing drive belts I change tensioners and water pump while I am in there. Never don it on a 116d though Dave

Morning Luke Welcome to the Forum Check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search the sections for what you need. It will give you small exploded drawings and part numbers, double click the part numbers and it will show any alternatives and other models it was used on Good Luck Dave

Morning James Welcome to the Forum Check the FuseCheck.com website you should find graphics and descriptions to answer your question Dave

Morning Gary Welcome to the Forum Looks very pretty and it seems your not afraid to raid the piggy bank looking after it ENJOY Tyres you can fit Non-runflat tyres to runflat rims but not the other way round, it will allow a greater choice of tyre. As your car is Xdrive you need to ensure tyres are correct sizes or you will be raiding the piggy bank for transmission repairs. Not sure about the last part of your post are you selling parts or looking to buy another E46 ? Dave

Morning Gerry You can use direct mail through the site Dave

Sorry Stu Just back in and had a rummage the seat adjuster must have been binned last clear out If your seat has memory the part number52108240108 item 4 in the drawing it was used in the E series car plus the Z4 so the Bay should have one Dave

Hi Neil Welcome to the Forum I am not sure you have a Starter Relay on the Mini but I don't own one so could be wrong have you checked all fuses Engine bay and Passenger footwell there is a website Fusecheck.com if you aren't aware that should give all the information you need plus the location in the car Good Luck Dave
