Howdy! I'm cruising around in this 1996 BMW 5 Series.

Hello there!

Ukrainian here; my name is Vasyl. My 1996 BMW 528i E39 has been my ride for the past twelve years.

Many OEM retrofits and extensive mechanical and electrical repairs have been performed on the vehicle over the years. Building the car with as many factory options as possible while ...

Re: Vehicle autonomously adjusted speed units

Oh no! Very possibly. It could be explained if I inadvertently used the wrong profile. Upon waking, I will verify. Hold on a second. I remember stopping the first time it happened and switching back to miles as the settings. So, even if I had the wrong profile again, it would still be set to mph ...

Re: Vehicle autonomously adjusted speed units

It makes me uneasy. Until I can stop and fix it, I'll have to paste up a conversion table to keep going at a legal speed.

Vehicle autonomously adjusted speed units

On multiple occasions recently, I have noticed that my e-208 2025 has automatically converted the speed from miles per hour to kilometres per hour after I have started the engine and driven away. Could it be that I'm to blame for that? Maybe you had a garlic overload?

Re: EV3 transitions to EV2.

Clearly, there is a limited 'long-term' ownership demographic for the EV2.

I intended to replace my Soul FE and utilised an EV3 for a week - I found it quite appealing but encountered a few (very trivial) issues:
a) Under intense sunlight, a reflective line spanned the entire windscreen at my line ...

Re: EV3 transitions to EV2.

I have recently exchanged my EV6 GT Line S for the new EV2 GT Line S. I recognise that merely three days have elapsed, yet I am pleased with the transformation thus far. The vertical rear window enhances the vehicle's practicality.

Absence of Key Recognition

I possess a 2017 GLE350, which has concurrently manifested two problems.
I received a dashboard notification a few weeks prior in white stating “Change Key Fob Battery,” so I replaced the batteries in the key fobs with two new ones. Shortly thereafter, the key fobs ceased to unlock or lock the ...

Re: Need assistance with replacing the propshaft on a 2013 640D F06

Your propshaft is either the wrong length or out of phase, my friend.

Its F06 640D model features a three-piece shaft. The SH unit will vibrate and damage the rear guibo if the factory alignment marks are not perfectly matched when bolted on.

The rear coupling's tension plus the center bearing's ...
