Re: Vehicle Recall

Managed to get booked in for Monday next week, they must have a new stock of parts now. Will report back when it's done. To be honest I can't feel anything with the car at the minute but hopefully will get the work done anyway.

Re: Vehicle Recall

Tried to book mine in today. Service manager states they are not taking anymore bookings at the moment as they have run out of parts required and not sure when a new stock will arrive due to all the recalls. Told to keep trying each week.  :(

Vehicle Recall

Had correspondence from BMW yesterday regarding a safety recall. "As part of ongoing quality analysis at BMW, it has been established that the front propeller shaft on your vehicle may be subject to premature wear. This may lead to corrosion resulting in noise or vibration. After prolonged driv...

Pulling to Left

Are these vehicles designed to veer to the left incase something happens to the driver ? I have had mine a little over 3 months now and it has always veered to the left. Some times more noticeable than others. I had a Hunter 4 wheel laser alignment done last week as well as 2 new Bridgestone runflat...

Re: Media Player Via Aux In

Ah right, so you need an old iPhone 4 or 4s. I have plenty of the leads from past iPhones but i now have an iPhone 6 with the lightning connector. These don't configure as apple removed the video out pin from them and you have to use air play now from the lightning devices. Thanks for the help and a...

Media Player Via Aux In

I was hoping that the USB connection in the centre console would allow me to play video media on the screen but unfortunately my X6 has the CIC module which apparently won't allow this. If I was to purchase one of these media players http://kjglobal.co.uk/acatalog/DVP-260.html would I be able to do ...

Re: X6 Purchase

Had the car almost 2 weeks now and loving it. I have one question for now and it may sound really stupid/daft but there is no spare wheel. Does the X6 not have a spare due to run flat tyres being fitted.
