Yeah I agree, I've encountered a load of random issues with X3/5s at my work, all are normally battery related / fixed by installing a new battery. Plus my iDrive issues all started after the car was sitting for about 6weeks, not on a tender. And tbh, I was a bit slack with keeping it charged...

So I think those error codes might be a bit of a red herring, I believe most are caused by the iDrive rebooting and none point to the route cause. Thinking more about the SOC drop, I'd expect some, but a 20% decline over less than 48hours is excessive. Also, when I tested it originally on...

Went to test the car this evening, checked the charge state, it had already dropped to 80% after only 2days of sitting, seems a little excessive... Thought I'd take it for a spirited drive anyway, see what happens. After 30mins.. you guessed it, the iDrive / Nav rebooted, also strangely it...

I did / am actually considering a Lithium battery. Though being in the UK I cannot get the same make everyone is running in the states, but have reached out to a UK company: https://www.deadweightindustries.co.uk/products/touge-max This looks like it'll do the job, but isn't cheap 😱 I assume...

Would you post to the UK?

Decided I'd try charging it over night, my battery is now reportly good, with 95% health, and 100% charge state.. but will it stay like that, that's the question. I have reassembled everything, cleared all the fault codes, and locked the car up. Will check again on Wednesday and see what the...

I tested the battery, it says it's healthy but the charge is only 63%, and this is after driving it on Friday for about 3-4hours (2hours there, parked for couple of hours, then 1.5hours back). So something doesn't seem right to me.. also the CCA is over what it should be (the battery is rated at...

When I scanned it the other day there was quite a few codes, but all seemed to be connection related;

I've not actually tested the battery... I kinda assumed given it is a 22 plate the battery would be good. It also lives on a NOCO GENIUS5 charger over the winter months. That said, testing the battery is probably a good call. I will get it tested on Monday

Hi, Has anyone else been plagued by the iDrive / Nav system crashing (rebooting) every 30mins? I've tried everything to rectify the issue; deleted all connected devices, restarted the iDrive system etc etc. Toyota have no idea either. I'm running a Femto unlock with MHD+, all updated to...

I stand corrected, but as above; seems to have some big limitations / drawbacks + costs more. I did the Femto unlock on mine, dealt with them direct, was a super easy + quick process. I actually sent my ECU twice, due to the MHD+ update, both times I had it back within 3days!

There is no alternative to the Femto unlock, they are last I heard still the only company in the world that can unlock the post July 2020 ECUs

Question: does anyone else's brake pedal click if you apply / break hard and then let off quickly? I was doing a brake change (upgrade) yesterday and pumped the pedal a couple times by hand after doing the pads (to ensure the brake pistons were contacting the pads,) now I seem to have developed...

I believe its BMW part number 07147311312 (I will double check tomorrow)

Amended & updated (BMW) part numbers (minus replacement studs.) 11628597827 qty - 6 11658669732 qty - 2 18328612538 qty - 1 07141696931 qty - 2 (supersedes 11537590575) 11427590576 qty - 2 11427590577 qty - 1

Appreciate you chiming in, I apologise if that all came across a bit sore back.. Just to add, Cobra 100% stand behind their product(s). They went the extra mile to ensure it was (and future systems are,) spot on both in fitment and quality. I would highly recommend them!

From said Sunday

Sorry I didn't get any decent GoPro footage; it was all pretty much just wind noise.. I did ask for help getting decent clips but never really happened. And yeah as I said, I've been dealing with a lot of personal stuff, which I won't go into, so this kinda lost priority..

Talk about fanning the flames.. When you knew what was going on but hey ??

Had other things going on in my life sorry ??
