Hi, Yesterday my 525d started vibrating in 3rd gear at between 2500-3500rpm ish. It's only really noticeable at 50% throttle or more. I've tested it several times and it is consistent. In all of the other gears, there are no signs of vibrations no matter how I drive. The flex-plate / guibo and...

A friend has a 2004 E60 with the iDrive Business (aka M-ASK), and I'm trying to find out how to burn the 2017 maps to a DVD to be used in his navigation. Maps is a loose term, because the M-ASK navigation is essentially just directional arrows and voice. I have access to the 2017 maps for...

Hi, Is there a test or secret menu that provides the coolant temp info, at what temp should the radiator fan come on, never saw mine coming on and wondered if there's a problem. The 525d F10 2010 only has an engine oil temp gauge, no coolant temp gauge. Also the radiator has flap covers on the...
