Hi Kelly...welcome to the club! It might be worth looking in the drivers handbook for the operation of the park sensors as it's unlikely they would have fitted them without activating them with the car. The phone button, however may be an option but again, worth looking in the handbook for pairing instructions.

Hi...and welcome to the club! Sounds like unstable voltage...check the battery state of charge and alternator output. Could be a replacement battery needed?

HI Annabel...welcome to the club! Just had a look on the website and couldn't see it listed...when is it on?

Hi Adam, welcome to the Forum! Small, economical runabout...I think that was the original sales pitch for the BMW 728i :-) Enjoy it...it looks superb! Regards, Trevor - Admin

Hi Dave, A K&N air filter is a great addition to any car and the benefits are there for years to come...as long as they are cleaned correctly (following manufacturers instructions) and more importantly...making sure that the sticker is placed on the air box area to indicate that there is a K&N in there otherwise some garages have been known to replace them during a service and disposing of it to replace it with a cheap paper one :-(

Hi Jane...welcome to the Forum! It sounds like an idle fault if the revs have dropped down to a level where the transmission is juddering. If this is the case, then maybe try some cleaning additive for the engine (Halfords sell many different types) and a good run may cure it. If not, then a trip to a local BMW specialist for them to scan the engine control system to diagnose the fault. I would try the cleaner first though Regards. Trevor - Admin

Hi Fast Fox just had a look at your website http://www.fastfoxperformance.com/ which has some great sample pictures of your work...very impressive! Please keep us updated with any new products for Beemers Regards Trevor - Admin

Hi Bill, that seems very expensive...have you tried an independent garage / specialist for a quote for replacing the fluid and also what could be causing the revving? Regards Trevor - Admin

I would immediately suspect the battery as intermittently failing after being 6 years old and following cold nights but a heavy discharge test would confirm this.

Hi Len...welcome to the Forum! Was expecting some members to feedback to your enquiry...but hope this link helps http://www.simota.com/instruction.php Regards Trevor - Admin

Not sure exactly where in the boot but probably behind the boot panel trims

Hi Gavin...welcome to the Forum! I would be interested to see the comments you hopefully receive as choice of polishes is usually down to personal preferences but I think some polished bring out the best in some colours and not others. Regards Trevor - Admin

Hi Andy...and welcome to the club! I found with my Z3 that water ingress was responsible for the alarm being triggered. With the less than perfect weather we have been having, possibly this could be the same reason? Regards Trevor - Admin
