Bought pressure washer, cannons, chemicals

I use the same setup. Karcher plus Autoglym Polar family on the X6. As I’ve got Lifeshine with the latest ceramic tech on the i4, I use Autoglym Rapid Ceramic to re-cover that after the cleaning (2-bucket method). Our water is very hard with a TDS >500 so I still use a resin filled tank (bought thro...

Opinions on dash removal

Impressive amount of work done :D

That would have cost a fair bit at a main dealer methinks!

Windscreen washer jets

From the good book…… Remove front right wheel (I only have something that says it’s in the right wing)….and for some reason the repeater indicator as well. I assume that would foul the bottle maybe?

Opinions on dash removal

I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s part of the glovebox and possibly one of the ‘locks’ that limit movement of the lid when opened? Almost certainly not available as a standalone component.

Possible LCM / Radio Nav Screen issues.

You may have got this: IMG_3016.jpeg Hence the challenge around what’s actually been fitted by BMW depending upon options and actual build date. I’ve tried to find the latest dated diagrams as those should be right. You can also get a copy of the BMW TIS from everybody’s favourite auction site which...

Possible LCM / Radio Nav Screen issues.

The wiring for video signals between the radio/nav/display look like this, not sure if it helps: You need to put the images side by side. IMG_3013.jpeg IMG_3014.jpeg On the second image, the even numbered pins to the right side are coax screens. There are multiple other modules that may be involved ...

Possible LCM / Radio Nav Screen issues.

Check for any sign of water in the electronics module in the rear of the car by the battery. Which version of the sound system is fitted - there are several! - even what engine and production month. It matters as there are multiple modules with different year spans and therefore different looms! It’...

I agree, pull the battery. No chance of any stray electrical charges upsetting the airbags. That would hurt!

Possible LCM / Radio Nav Screen issues.

I’m pretty sure the cables run down the side of the sills (under the carpets) in order to avoid being stood on if centre run. I don’t remember seeing wiring loom bundles down the middle on mine back in the day.

Is there nothing on the screen at all, or only certain functions missing?

ZF service centre

What’s the issue that you need to go to ZF for? I think they only have the two passenger car centres in the UK, but there are a few Approved service centres. I had my fluids done by a BMW Indy. Cost just over £1k using OEM fluids (Lifeguard 8, diff oils (there were three or four different ones neede...
