Yeah full VIN throws the 'no information' error.

It's definitely got the tv as it's the last option in the entertainment section, but it's just the snow screen. It's not a deal breaker but everything else works so it would be a shame if this didn't.

Tried that, get a 'no information' message!

I'd already tried googling that, and a load of other related phrases and in fact there is buggar all out there, especially with regards to the tv on CCC.

Apologies in advance for this question, but how the hell do you select 'options'? New to idrive so I have no clue, there's just the rotary controller and a menu button.

Thanks for that, just need to figure out how to work it then when I get it. When i looked at it yesterday it was just a fuzzy screen on 'TV's and I couldn't see a way to 'tune' to as such!

Cheers I did that last night and it told me the below:

S601 TV Function

No idea if that is digital or not though, googling that doesn't really reveal anything.

I've found my perfect spec 4.8I e70, hopefully picking it up in the next couple of weeks but I'm trying to figure out if it has a digital tv tuner (it has literally everything else).

On realoem, what should I be looking for when I put the vin digits in?

Thanks for the pointers, was keen to hear actual owner experience - I usually keep a couple of grand as a float should anything with our 'spare' car go wrong but luckily this hasn't been touched at all with the E53! Our other car has been a company one for the past few years so in general that gets ...

We’re looking to replace the wife’s E53 3.0i which we’ve had for 6 years with something slightly more modern. Don’t do many miles so looking at a ‘07/‘’08...read about valve stems seal, suspension issues etc but wondering how common these thing really are in the UK. Car I have found has 89k but is mi ...

Cheers for that, didn't realise I'd need extensions. Will give it a miss then most probably.

I have the chance to get some OEM 20" Le Mans alloys (Style 168) - I have an '05 3.0i SE and really don't want to ruin the ride. I drove a 4.8is ages ago so can't really remember if the ride was any worse, but was curious if anyone has any experience of doing this? I can accept a drop in ride ...

I've had a 3.0i for three years. I drove all the different E53 engines before I bought it, and I would have gone for a 4.8 but couldn't find one here (Ireland) at the time. Saying that, I mostly don't try to drive it like a sports car, but although MPG suffers when you're booting it, generally it's ...
