Hello, I have a bmw e65 745i us. Slowly I am really at the end have thousands of euro already plugged in and now I still have no rest.. my car just goes off. I turn it on and sec later it goes out as if one of itself. Sometimes it starts and remains however rather rare. If it goes out then error messages like: drive-off program only in 3 and 5 possible, dtc failed. And now he doesn’t want to start at all. Only ignition goes on and no clacking nothing. Only under the car you hear what is working pretty close to the end pot when the ignition is on ?? I have read it also of course either he failed or no more. Except the error “undervoltage” that shows the car always. Since about 3 years. Lief however always best. Battery was also changed on thoughtfully. Successless. The car was once a week and after 1 week I didn’t think about it. I didn’t want to test it again.

Hello ! Can anyone help me ev. here on the topic “Automatic parking” in the new 7er: 1. why is this function only reserved for diesel models ? and will this change in the foreseeable future ? 2. how does it really work: must left and right a car or a wall to be able to park “from the outside” ? how far can one manually intervene and park the 7er easily “asymmetrically” (to the wall e.g. very scarce, to the parking car next door maximum possible distance) ? Thank you – Greeting, Christian

Hello and good morning, hopefully there is no “on the bag” when I place this post in forum…. I try it anyway: In the foreseeable future I would like to buy an E65. It should then be an 8-cylinder, because I would like to fulfill this long-happened wish now in the not quite youthful age. Now you read a lot about strengths and weaknesses, but what about the written one? At the moment I drive a Mercedes (W220) S320, with which I am quite satisfied, except a few small things. The motorization is sufficient, the place is very comfortable and one or the other gimick make driving very pleasant. But next it should become a 7-series. Which model is to be recommended with an 8-cylinder engine? Are there typical weak points, just like with Daimler? Are the early models rather to avoid? Maybe one or the other can help me a little bit. Thanks already for your help.

Hello Together The Kummer chain does not tear off. Now I have a new problem since yesterday (the revised transmission is hardly a week old): It uses massive white bluish in the following situation: – engine warm – car stands for at least 3min with running engine – I give gas (no matter if little / strong) But during the ride you see nothing. If I stop, briefly turn the engine on 5’000 tours, you see nothing. It has to stand, and indeed something more than 1-2 minutes. I have read here a lot about valve shaft seals and so, but then I think he always has to smoke when turning up, but does not. Does this behavior provide an indication of possible other causes? Thanks for any tip, Ken

In the multimedia equipment manual, especially for ConnectedDrive[CD], the option “travel book” is described. However, I don’t find this option in the CD menu. Is this a special equipment that you have to book extra (but I didn’t find anything in the CD’s online portal), or do I need the Navi “Business”? Or did BMW even throw out this option tacitly in order to sell their “electronic travel book” better? I’m a bit confused… Did any of you have the “online travel book” via ConnectedDrive and can explain it to me?

Hello, I urgently need your help and that 4 weeks ago when I pressed something on the AB, came a message ” Drive, moderate continue.

Good evening people, I come from Freising. I’ve had the phenomenon the week that the car constantly jumps into the emergency program and tells me to drive moderately. Engine restarted error again and went away. Since today the error no longer goes away engine runs out of troublesome a cylinder. BMW Service Mobil was reading out error. Spark plug ignition coil or injector cylinder 6 injectors were exchanged at 90,000. Is someone near me that can change spark plugs and ignition coil ? BMW currently has no time due to the many winter bikes change ?

Hello first of all. Two weeks ago during the ride comes the message on display gears disturbed, please mead driving???? Bj 2007 Km 223000 under the hood. 740 iL After the message came I stopped immediately, waited about 10 min, and away it was the message as if nothing had been. Tomorrow again the same, when I came home just in front of the house door. Car locked, and after a few minutes wanted to see if the error still existed, gone!??, nothing was to be seen. Performance has the car ga nz normal and switches butter soft, so no jerking or similar. What can it be?? Batteri has given up his gas!? Gear flush should be made!? Camshaft sensor!? Mfg.

Moin you love, my fatter has now 66.6k km and wanted to ask quite nicely which spark plugs I need for the E63 650i from 2009. I found at ebay NGK 8 stk in set, have data balanced ebay has given green light. Nevertheless, there is so small bitsl paranoid and rather ask again. And how long does an experienced screwdriver need for the pure change? Have now bitsl researched and yet found some topics where I could read out that this would not be so easy to do. i my model. Greetings

Hello, today I noticed that my right LED headlight throws visible “boxes” on walls and is also a little darker than the left. In the appendix a picture where you can see it clearly. Is the headlight aged and may cause a defect? Year of the car is December 2012. Does anyone want to photograph the photo of their LED headlights as well so that I have a comparison?
