  1. Hi, I have a BMW 530d E60. Have owned the car for a year and I'm due a service. Looking for garage recommendations in the Portsmouth/Southsea area... Other than the service that's required I have experienced the following issues over the past few months: battery drain warning - despite relatively new heavy duty battery (<1 year old)increased emissionsseatbelt warning light - this was cleared recently but came backaudio systems constantly cuts in and out - really frustratingtelephone/bluetooth has also stopped workingOther than that, engine/performance wise it's been brilliant, faults have all been electrical it seems! Thanks, James.
  2. Thank you. Yes, I suspect the something has happened with battery coming loose. As had a new battery fitted 4-5 months ago but last couple of months I've had a battery drain warning so perhaps the fault codes are all interlinked?
  3. Hi guys, My BM is due for an MOT imminently and I've got some fault codes that need checking out although I suspect all is fine. I have an '05 530d Sport. Recent warnings include: Safety belt tensioners Emissions And also my telephone / bluetooth has stopped working - says it isn't installed or something to that effect. But it is? Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks! James.
