High Level Of Battery discharge even after new battery

Hi all been having this error for a while now, it seemed that the old battery was dying, it was certainly sluggish to start after a while sitting. I replaced the battery a couple weeks ago, but it hasn't made the error go away. Every day I get the same thing, if I drive the car then stop then start ...

PS - I know there is a great debate about * marked tyres, I specifically didn't want * RFT tyres so spent a very long time establishing which non RFTs would not cause any Transfer Box issues and I went for Vredstein Ultrac Vortis and they are fantastic, not a single issue.

To answer your questions.... Yes you need to change the tyres as a set unless the wear is minimal on one axle compared to the others. As long as the difference is less than 1.5% (roughly 1.5mm) you should be OK. You can run ‘*’ rated non-RFT as BMW offer them so no warranty issues. If you run non-‘...

The great tyre debate, again

Hello all, New member here, I've recently picked up a large 2011 LCI E70 40d from a BMW dealer. I've had it about 2 weeks but it's already been back because of what I consider to be pretty bad driving characteristics. It tramlines so badly to the point that it follows every little bump and rut in th...
