Not BMW, but Toyota. Friends car has random brake warning light. Took to Toyota dealer, said code they saw too random? I said might be abs sensor fault. Put my obd reader on friends car, a Toyota Avensis. Code P1750 comes up (related to abs sensors).. We still think it's abs sensor so he took...

Working on car this last week i seem to notice excessive exhaust vapour and smell. I replaced the heat exchange O ring few weeks ago. No leaks. But i get the feeling water is passing into engine and out the exhaust. Oil looks and smell normal at filler. Replaced anti freeze few weeks ago, i...

Fixed in half hour, as i knew, broken wire. Should have just replaced in summer. My advice, again, just replace the one pair left and 2 right side before they break, they will.. Cut wires and splice in new length.

So trying to do one job, fit an amp. Need roof operated a few times. Then on one opening, bong, roof stuck windows open. Drafty drive home in fog. So now the left side wiring rear shell is faulty. Knew it would fail at some point. Knew i should have just replaced it in the summer at my leisure.

Modifying my reverse camera i fitted. Bought and fitted the number plate light version but looks silly off centre. So made a new bracket, painted to match car colour and will fit, if it stops raining for half hour. Fit in centre above plate and shielded by shape of bumper. Off course when i...

Already vents like rubber tube U bends, reason why spiders get in. These holes are just extra.

Make sure you get genuine BMW screen, even if you pay extra. Don't let them fit a "OEM" Chinese screen. First one i had fitted i could see it was wavy, not as thick as original. Next day it had crack across it. 2nd attempt, i couldn't see through it due smearing in rain, even with new blades...

New seal fitted. Buy cheap, buy twice.... Can be seen the seals are different. BMW seal (top) has little bumps to centre the seal before clamping. The cheaper after market hasn't. Bottom cheaper ended up with a slight twist i assume causing the leak.

From memory couple of bolts and some plastic push pin retainers underneath. Black strips it clips on. Bit scary to pull off. Good to get off mud collects behind them. Look side skirts ebay and you will the mount holes.

This is what someone else did, but could do with arrows to diagram of the car.

Just below the two wire grommet. The one below is behind the storage box. Push it inside out, falls on floor. Then can cut it to lead RCA camera cable through. I found i needed to remove the left light, not all bumper as in picture!

Well found the problem. See it running out. Could try re-torquing and see how it goes.

Well replaced several months ago, looks like it hasn't lasted long. Oil over drive belt, alternator and running down to the belly pan. I am assuming the seal has gone, again. Going to buy from dealer on Monday and fit that. Never know what you are buying from eBay. Live and learn, eh. Thought...

Got to mechanism, couldn't see how it could be adjusted. Moved the the two white nylon stops up, made no difference. So elongated some hole in the mounting plate and pushed all forward a few millimeters and a washer under bracket where held with bolt to tip it forward. Now matches passenger...

Few pics of mmi output. Ref. marks rear cam at about 1 1/2 feet.

So mmi box behind heater controls freed up space for the wires, but needed modding. I cut out two connectors leaving just the adapter plug. With some effort it fitted behind the radio.

Yes a great find. Almost planned! So that now frees up space for my amp wires behind radio.

Tried reset today with roof down, made no difference. Looks like got to strip panels off and see why it's not aligning. Probably slipped as it moves more than passenger side. Found some pictures of mechanism. Few pics of other cars seem quite a gap. My passenger side is tight fit with about...

Quick project, seem to get some mist in headlamps requiring removal of the bulb caps to clear, so drilled some holes in the caps. Covered with fine mesh inside.

So working on car find wet carpet behind drivers seat. Can see the rear window black seal not line up with the door glass. Tried the reset by holding all down up and individual, still cocked over, no change. So do i need to strip the panels out to get to it. Or do i need roof down first to...
