Re: Stop/Start Steering Wheel Twitch

[quote="bobgolden"] I'm not sure if this is a problem or a feature but whenever my stop/start restarts the engine, I get a slight twitch on the steering wheel akin to the lane departure warning that I switched off almost immediately ! It seems to be noticeable on a camber or if the wheels aren't ...

Re: Eco-Pro 'Sailing Mode' Now Working.

You're supposed to be able to have the front camera come on automatically when you reach a preset position on the road like a bad junction that you use regularly (helps you see round the corner!) Except it don't work like it says it should in the manual.

Re: Eco-Pro 'Sailing Mode' Now Working.

[quote="bobgolden"] Catflap - are you an F15 'cos page 213 (which refers back to page 210) of my UK owner's handbook says that Coasting, i.e. disconnecting engine from gearbox, is a feature of the ECO PRO mode. I see Kenniff has quoted the USA manual (which I read during my 4 month wait) but I just ...

Re: Eco-Pro 'Sailing Mode' Now Working.

[quote="X5Sport"] Surely it uses more fuel as the engine does not go into 'cut-off' on the overrun might be one reason it was removed, that and auto transmission pumps had a habit of slowing to the point where damage could be done, but modern boxes must be better at handling it? There is also a ...

Eco-Pro 'Sailing Mode' Now Working.

I've coded the usual stuff plus managed to get the Eco-Pro 'Sailing Mode' to work this evening! This functionality has been disabled in the UK (and possibly other countries) by BMW for some reason. In Eco-Pro mode and with 'Sailing Mode' selected 'on' my X5 'free-wheels' whenever you come off the ...

I've coded mine to show the indicator repeaters (I have my steering wheel quite low and it's useful to have the green flashing repeaters shown in the HUD) and the lane departure warning display / ACC distance.

Re: Tow bar locking fault

I've got a set of those mirrors but they won't fit my F15's mirror housings.

There's not enough clearance between the mirror glass and the housing even though the fittings are tapered towards the ends.
