Morning Joe Welcome to the Forum Can't help much with local shows or meets close to you as I am at the other end of the country (Sunny Sussex) Enjoy your Beemer Dave

Morning Gary Not sure that will work as I believe the mirror mounting angles are different LHD/RHD but I may be wrong Swapping the Mirror internals should be possible though Good Luck Dave

Morning Kevin Your into the realms of Personal choice and Budget here Personally I like the same tyres all round, so as you have Bridgestone on the Front I would go that route. Then there is the Budget if your able to stick with BMW approved tyres I would do so (Bridgestone are BMW OEM fitment) ENJOY your Beemer Dave

Morning Steve Welcome to the Forum What state is the battery low voltage can be behind all sorts of Odd behaviour, check voltage at the charge points under the bonnet at rest key out engine off it should be 12.5v with the engine running you should see 14.5v+ but to be sure I would get a Diagnostic scan carried out. Steering after all is important 🤣 Dave

Morning Nick Welcome to the Forum ISTA should give you a Test Plan ? just changing the EGS may not be the fix (sadly most Garages change parts to quickly at customer cost) I would first use a good Electrical contact cleaner on the EGS and Loom connector and test continuity on the loom. If the loom and its connections are good check the Internet for EGS tests If after checking everything out it still points to the EGS then there are some things to consider. Early "E" series cars the EGS had no internal ISN (Internal Security Number) Later "E" series cars the EGS with ISN are Grouped with the DME/DDE and CAS so if changing the EGS you will need a Matching DME/DDE and CAS plus polish your skills with ISTA P Hope this helps more than hinders Dave PS. You posted in the 7 series section not X3

Morning Paul Have you tried contacting Hella Direct they may have a customer services that can help. A friend in Belgium had had a 7 series at around that time he had a hidden Isolation switch that after start had to be pushed or it would cut out. His was under the dash near the centre console. If my old memory is working it cut the fuel pump Good Luck Dave

Morning David Welcome to the Forum If you aren't aware check www.realoem.com classic section enter the last 7 digits of your Vin then check the section you need (Clutch) Double click part numbers and you should see a list of Part numbers and any alternatives that were used. You will also see dimensional information. An internet search using the alternate part numbers may help source something (he says hopefully) I guess you have already tried BMW UK Classic Customer support If none of that works an Engineering shop may be able to re-bore the cylinders you have or may be remanufacture them Good Luck Dave

🤣🤣🤣

Good news Mark 😁 Simple fixes are the best Back to your other Forum it's nice to know you have a sense of Humour 🤣 Dave

Hi Mark It looks as though most of the underbody protection is missing and will need replacing those "Tubes" look like main power cables (battery is in the Boot) So first action is get those secured out of the way then get the undertrays replaced. I would assume that at service the under trays where not replaced correctly something has caught them and the Bang was them being torn off This pic may help it is a friends 4.0i X3 shows all under trays in place Dave

Now you have the Build Option code try using a BMW Vin Decoder web site put your Vin number in and it should pull up your cars original build sheet Dave

Hi Terry Welcome to the Forum As I understand it you either need an add on MMI box or a replacement Android Screen which would allow Carplay and Android Auto Good Luck Dave

Hi Simon You could check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model. Then check the Brakes section if alternate pads were offered Standard or Competition. A neighbour has a Toyota which made a grating sound Toyota Dealer found no issue and gave a similar response blaming the Pad material. She was really worried so I jacked up her car took off the wheel and found a small stone trapped between the Dust Shield and the Brake disc hooked it out with a long screw driver no more noise. I run Brembo pads and disc's on my E53 4.6is but standard disc's and pads on my E70 and both make no noise. So I agree as the car has covered only 9k disc's and pads are just run in, if there were a previous owner I wonder could they have specified Competition Pads ? With the Aero kit that is quite sloppy work by the body shop I hope it's not Bonded in place As you say depending on your Dealer you could have an uphill fight on your hands Good Luck Dave

Morning Simon Welcome to the Forum Let's start with a few questions You say a noise when carrying out slow manoeuvres, so is the noise when going lock to lock backwards and forwards. Or is it also noisy if just going forwards and backwards Are Disc's and Pads standard or have they been changed Are tyres correct any sign of odd wear or rubbing Nothing trapped behind the back plates (I would hope a Dealer would have checked that) Wheel bearings checked After driving any heat in the wheel centre's and brake area Those are the checks I would carry out myself Dave

Hi Firat The fact you get erratic drops in voltage which coincide with your description "feels like the car hits a wall" have you checked the pulleys tensioners and belts ? I have seen 2 instances (1) a frayed belt becoming tangled and snatching when the frayed part caught up (2) The crankshaft pulley rubber isolator breaking up caused a similar effect. The fact voltage drops to 12.5v when you get the effect would point towards the Alternator being stopped momentarily or longer, again check pulleys and belts and the engine earth straps If you have access to ISTA you should be able to see the Fault Memory for the Engine DME and the Transmission plus all other stored codes If codes were cleared when you registered the battery (was the Battery replaced or Fully charged) temporarily the car would see no Issues as soon as a fault or the critical fault re-occurred the erratic performance returned.
