Re: removing dash trim

I got the dash bits off and done them. Just got the steering wheel and the flap above the cd player. Do I need to remove the airbag to get the trim off? Ive seen loads of guides on the facelift wheel but not pre facelift.

bmw scanner

Been looking at the bmw scanners on ebay but they all seem different prices. Are they all different?
What do I need to run it? Is it easier to run on xp if I use an old laptop?

retro fitting heated seats

I want to add heated seats but am struggling to find any cream ones in decent condition and as mine are battered was thinking of having them recovered. Is it possible for me to add the element into my own seats while having them recovered and then just add the switches?

Re: X5 4.4 Subwoofer????

Depending how far youre wanting to travel a good friend of mine in nottingham does custom installs and is very good. He could make you a box to fit where you want. Just Google bassheads audio.

removing dash trim

I am wrapping the horrible wood trim. Have removed the centre console and the door strips but not sure how to remove the strips on the dash and the steering wheel trim.

Re: drivers seat not working forwards and back

Have been looking into this but a problem I have is the seat is stuck in a position which covers the bolts to remove the seat. Any way to manually slide the seat otherwise I have no idea how to get the bolts out.

Help please

removing running boards for renovation

The running boards are looking a little bit tired. How do they come off and what could I do to improve them? Paint them?

bootlid open error

Right sorted out all my other error messages but just got the bootlid error left.
Where is the sensor located?
Can I bypass it if its a faulty sensor by connecting the wires together or breaking them?
Not really got money for a new sensor but its the only error left and its bugging me :)

Re: transmission fail mode

Yes thats just been standing all day while been at work. I will check it with engine running. Would a 50% charged battery really effect my electrics like this?
