    Morning Michael

     I have never heard of this before, I think you need the OEM phone data cable to be sure. I have seen instances where after market cables don't allow all functions.

    Also I take it that the USB port described is the accessory port ? Check your handbook is this actually a charging point or just a data transfer point ?

    Thanks Dave, Ive ordered a genuine cable. The USB is a charging point. I'll let you know if the cable sorts the problem

  2. I have a 2016 520d touring. I use the usb point to charge my iPhone 12. I use Spotify and maps, lately I noticed its doesn't seem to charge my phone, although I very rarely go on long journeys. I took my car to Liverpool a 3.5hr drive, using maps and Music, by the time I had arrived, the phone was out of charge. It was plugged in the whole journey. It charged no problem in the hotel. I use an after market cable, someone told me it could be that. When its plugged in, the phone shows it is charging. Can you upgrade the usb point to a usb 2. Thanks

  3. If the filler neck is clear, its got to be a breather problem. When you checked the breather, did you blow air down the breather back into the tank. The airflow has to be other way. Blow air into the fuel filler neck and check air is leaving through the breather. There should also be a breather on top of the tank that vents fuel odour away from the car. If those two are clear then its a tank out.

  4. In my opinion, which isn't worth much, I think it has fell off and stuck further down the neck, restricting the flow of fuel. The only reason i think this, is because i had this problem with a Mondeo. Had to remove the neck, which meant lowering the tank. Should have changed the filler neck, but the customer didn't want to buy a new one. Used a bit of welding wire and forced it back up the neck and removed it. Job done. Ive no idea how BMW route the neck or even where the tank is. Hope this helps
