Hi Guys, so i took it to a gearbox specialist and they said they couldnt find any faults with the gear box. the only fault codes found are the following; -DME/DDE (Motor/Diesel Electronics) 2F -ZKE/GM (Central Body electronics) 1F -IHKA/IHKR (Integrated Heating) 2F -AUC Sensor 0A Can anyone help me ...

how much did they charge?
im debating taking it to an indy gearbox specialist or a bmw dealership.
overall i find it shocking that so many e53's have gearbox failure like this.

Thanks for the response. I have an 03 3.0 litre diesel. It's done 60k and has a full BMW service history. But I just can't justify injecting too much money into it, especially with the little one on the way and because it's our second car. I have a BMW scanner 1.4 but am not that proficient with it ...

hi guys, over the last few days my car feels like its begun to die. theres been no warnings or funny noises but suddenly it felt really slow and wouldnt change gears? the revs would go really high but no gear change. even if i put my foot right down the car does not go above 30mph until after 15 ...

ok so im literally researching this to death. i am not basing my research on the e46 unit, only on the e53 unit. you WILL spend more on purchasing the Dynavin. however, the flexibility of the software means that the extra you spend over the hualingan pays for itself. for example, on maps you can use ...

im researching it now and the unit for the x5 e53 is called the DVN-E39, its somewhat uglier in all honesty. but the features are the same. and the choice of map apps are immense! but the best bit, is there is android OS coming for it with google maps and android apps for it. now, where to buy and ...

ok so im decided on getting rid of my bmw nav unit. im in the process of picking a new one and more importantly finding a london installer, when i came across this on the dynavin forums! http://dynavin.freeforums.org/jailbroke ... -t186.html for those that dont want to click the link keep scrolling ...

ok so heres what i see in my boot.
im not too sure where im supposed to be looking.......

sorry for the dumb questions.......

hi guys, so in december of 2010 i had an ipod kit and a bluetooth kit installed in my X by custom ICE in chingford. immediately i began having issues. the car has gone back to them at least once a month for a full day each time. but the initial issue of interference on ipod/iphone audio when i press ...

hey guys, just a friendly tip for those that are like me and not overly hands on technical. Recently my nav unit started randomly crashing and was totally unusable. Using the forum it was determined i had the dreaded dvd laser issue. I wasnt too comfortable with replacing the laser........... so i ...
