i wired mine in the engine bay too.... in line with how the ctek rebranded bmw charger is recommended. I intend to drop the wires out the bottom and plug it in (note i store on a lift). I plugged it in yesterday and the car didnt blow up.
Any luck with this?
I suspect the place to hook up the connection (not the alligator clips persay, you probably could connect the bolt down pigtail) would be the following but someone should double check me:
The T50 bolt looks to be 14 ft-lbs of torque to attach, I tried to loosen mine but...
Right, but you can throw some info on the 8” and keep map data exclusively for dash and head up... or turn off the nav on heads up. Sucks the choices are limited, but there are SOME options to use that dash space
Curious if you have a premium. That blank area on the dash comes alive when using navigation with a colored map. It also shows the map on the 8’’ screen and the windshield but it allows for different info on each.
When an action is not coming up, the blank area actually shows how far out until...
What i mean by that is i wasnt willing to violate the terms and post 1400 pages of copy righted material. Would be great if someone digitizes it complete with working quick links
(Who i meant by people arent you all, its toyota or bmw or whoever would have grounds to come after me)
The reset instructions worked. Here is more detail. With the engine off and foot off the brake, rapidly push the start button 3x. The car will report it is in diagnostic mode on the dash and the amber engine warning light will illuminate. Hold down the odo reset button and then the car will show...
Dont know. Oil capacity is clearly stated as 6.9 quarts. They didnt state 7 quarts but did state overfilling will damage. Is it worth it at the very least getting back under the car to let some oil out? That being said i doubt a dealership will accurately measure anything and that would be the...
Um i probably wouldnt recommend. It goes away once all the oil is flowing again.
No injectors means no engine running means no oil circulation, .... and the procedure is not listed in the change instructions.
After a night of draining, I buttoned it all up, put in ~6.8 quarts of oil and fired it up. Quite the lifter tick sound until the oil circulated all around. You will not be able to check the oil level until the car warms up. It says you need to drive it around for 30 minutes but you don't. I let...
The oil has now been dripping out for 6 hours. look at hour much oil that amounts to as I emptied the initial oil into an oil dolly:
This is more of a big deal on this initial change due to the metal that is suspended in that oil. I will try again to show it but it is not coming out very...
if you actually read my post on this- its a Toyota thing. you need to buy a subscription to the techinfo stream site where you can spend the 7+ hours downloading in XPS format or if you have a PDF converter you can download as PDF. One way or another you will need to do some work to get it...
The filters arrived today and with 2000 miles on the clock it is time for the first oil change. The filters were $7.50 each! do not be a fool and pay the $30 BMW tax buying them from a BMW dealer.
Here is what is included in the kit:
It includes: the crush washer, the oil ring for the...
*last 6.
I realized someone posted a video on this after i added the info.

In bmws the maintenance reset is an option in these menus.
I am also keeping an eye on carly to see when they will include the supra...
More info
If you press and hold the odo reset button in the lower left of the instrument cluster for 10 seconds, the car will display a menu where in bmw will allow cbs reset. It is missing, however, maybe it only becomes an option when there is something that needs to be reset? ... for the...
I am looking for the CBS reset instructions. There is a chance you cannot do this without a scantool meaning the car will forever tell you that you need to change the oil once you hit that 10k mark until it is reset at the dealership. There are some guides for older BMWs that state this can be...
