Re: Auto locking of doors when driving away from standstill
Have you checked the idrive ? On my E70 and E60 you can enable and disable the auto door locking from the idrive menu.

Re: 2011 E70 Transfer Box issue
The oil analysis gives the results in ppm ( particles per million ) the fibre debris wasn’t excessive in my opinion. But there was 3 times the amount of fibre particles compared to the metallic one’s. Hopefully now with a flush and fresh oil , the car will behave it self for a good few miles.

Re: Battery jump packs.
A few weeks ago, I watched a 6 litre lorry being jump started with a Noco power pack and I was amazed at the size of it and the power it had, smaller than a bag of sugar !! Talking to the mechanic, he said they’re a fabulous piece of kit and available in various sizes, he swears by them.

The car finally went into the main dealer two weeks ago for a full service and a transfer box flush, fresh oil and adaptions to the transfer box software. The dealer initially said it didn’t want doing, as it’s sealed for life, but th...

Re: 2011 E70 Transfer Box issue
The car had 4 new tyres fitted a few hundred miles ago, didn’t make any difference!
Spoken to the dealer and there’s 2 recalls due, the front prop and the wiring, so will be going in shortly to have them done and a transfer box oil change. So see what happens after that

Re: 2011 E70 Transfer Box issue
Thanks Leslie, I’ll book it into the dealers for a service and oil change on the transfer box. I’ve already spoken to them and they’ve said there’s a recall on the front prop, so see what happens.

2011 E70 Transfer Box issue
Hi folks, look like I may have the dreaded transfer box problem, so looking for some advice. My car vibrates at low speed when on full lock, feels like the front wheels are fighting the rears. The car has only done 56k miles and drives superbly in all other circumstances. I suspect that the clutch i...

Hi Everyone, came across this forum and thought it would be good to join. Been a big BMW fan for years and especially like the X & M series card. Currently I have an E70 4.0d M sport.
