#537 of 598 Re: New 2008 X5 steering wheel column does not move up [bmwx5guy] by stanton08 Oct 30, 2008 (4:59 pm)
Replying to: bmwx5guy (Oct 29, 2008 7:22 pm) Thanks a lot for the information!! I first tried to push the '1' memory button but nothing changed. Then I tried to save the current positions into '1', but still not work. I then tried to move the steering wheel up and down, adjust the seat back and forth, etc., then save --- and then it finally works. It seems that the memory was quite confused and all messed up. By the way, after this was fixed, i then noticed that my blue tooth phone setting was all gone!! I re-paired it over again, and finally everything seems to work....   Thanks again -- it saves me a trip to the dealership.

#540 of 598 Re-type: step on gas pedal will hear click on BMW 2006 X5. by 6degrees Dec 06, 2008 (9:01 pm)
Replying to: 6degrees (Dec 06, 2008 4:17 pm) You will hear the click sound when you first step onto it. I took a look behind the pedal. The join is plastic. I think that is the problem and should be for all 2006 model. Is anybody botherd by that? Is there a way to eliminate the click sound? Can dealer fix it? Maybe applying some lubricant will take care of it?

Replying to: izulu (May 25, 2000 12:53 am) Bought '09 X5 a few weeks ago, my brand new car left me stranded at airport the next day of the delivery, noticed white smoke come out of hood, had to have the car towed to the dealer's shop. Initially they told me that it's power steering problem will be fixed in a couple of days, then they told me that a technician from BMW NA is coming to evaluate the problem, now they tell me that, the parts have to arrive from Germany. It's been almost 3 weeks now, I can't help but wonder if the dealer/service telling me the real problem, oe did I purchase a lemon
#543 of 598 Engine Light shows - code for pressure leak by MMsBMW Jan 19, 2009 (10:37 am)
Hi everyone, I just bought a used BMW X5 4.4i 2000 model SUV and the engine light shows. Before buying it I had it inspected by a proper BMW mechanic and one of the venting pipes at the back end of the engine had a hole - no big deal. After purchasing the X5 I had both of them changed and the engine system reset. The engine light dissapeared which was great but then after driving it for a day or so it showed again. I had it checked and this time the code indicated that there is a fuel and air mixture offset in the engine and that the gaskets need to be replaced and it's a big job. What should I do here, get it checked again or have the bolts tighten on the engine or have the gaskets replaced. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
#545 of 598 Re: X5 water leaking onto front passenger foot well [lvlheaded1] by x50825 Mar 29, 2009 (7:13 pm)
Replying to: lvlheaded1 (Apr 29, 2006 6:35 am) I too have an exact problem that you have described to a "T" during the rain for my 2004 X5. I took off the glove compartment to see where water leak was coming from. I could see water dripping from the top but I cannot see where it is coming up because there are too many things in the way to locate the source of the leak.   I hope you have4 found the solution to the above. If you have, would you be so kind to share your resolution.
#546 of 598 Re: unplugging battery [yagit1] - affect display by lion2000 Mar 30, 2009 (8:00 am)
Replying to: yagit1 (Dec 11, 2008 4:44 pm) I found my 2001 X5 draining of the electrical system with car parked is 1.2 to 1.5 Amp, quite large as standby current. Battery dies when it is old or getting weak. I was able to park for 2 weeks during vacation, no problem. But when battery is weak, I needed to jump start the car if I do not drive for 2 days. Changing battery solves the problem. I am on my second battery since last year.   I also found that each time after I jump start the car, the text display segments on instrument panel started to go out. The jump start may hurt the display control unit. Anyone knows what to do to correct the display problem?
