#4266 of 4453 Power Seats not pairing with Remote fob by ez2do Jun 03, 2009 (6:44 am)
I've been trying to pair the power seats settings to the remote fob so that the driver seat position adjusts when unlocking the doors with the remote. Although I follow the instructions on the manual to the tee, it doesn't seem to work.   Has anyone had this problem ? Not sure if the remote fob needs to be programmed accordingly.   HELP !!!!!

Replying to: cpaone8 (Jun 02, 2009 5:55 pm) Your owners manual lists the requirement of the scheduled maintenance that should be done around 50K miles. But since you are under the maintenance program, your dealership will perform all services that should be done at the mileage. They may not do all of the items normally they would, IF you were paying instead of the BMW corp. but you can just talk to service adviser and he/she will inform you of the differences. Good Luck

Replying to: ez2do (Jun 03, 2009 6:44 am) I hope this will help you and I hope that I can describe it to you so that you can understand so here we go. First make sure that you setup up each key with the corresponding memory button. I.E. Your key to memory button 1 and your other key to memory button 2. Make sure that each key is in the car when you set the memory. Then scroll through the menu until you get to the menu that has a Key with a lock next to it. enter that menu and go to the seat in the menu and make sure that it is unlocked. If it isn't go into that menu and set it to unlock with the little picture of the 4 doors with the drivers door open. After I did this it worked but you have to make sure that you don't reset your seat with your key in the car because it is a smart key and remembers what the settings are. That is the trick that I didn't get the first time I was setting it all up then taking out the key and moving the seat around to see if it would work, but the key automatically remembered where the seat was and it seemed as though it wasn't working but it really was, just not in the way that I wanted it to. I hope that this helps and I may have rambled some, if you need anything just respond and maybe I will be able to help. Replies to this message: ez2do (Jun 03, 2009 8:20 pm)

Replying to: cpaone8 (Jun 03, 2009 5:52 pm) cpaone8,   I think I follow your instructions. This is what I understand:   A) With the first key, turn on the car, adjust the seat position, save settings to memory button 1, then turn off car. B) With the second key, repeat step A, and save settings to memory button 2. C) Make sure both keys are in car - that means that one key will be in the ignition while the second key is comfortably resting on the seat : ) D) Access computer commands on turn signal lever, go to appropriate key icon, set to unlock with 4 doors and driver's door open.   I did step A and D thinking that it was paired, then changed the seating position, exited the car, locked, open again and voila ... scratched my head when nothing happened.   The instruction manual makes no mention of pairing the keys to the memory settings before activating the computer. My MDX key fob pairing to the power seat settings is simple and logical.   Just wondering, if I happen to wait in the car while the wife is shopping and move the seat back to take a nap while the key is in the ignition (pretend is summer and AC is running), will the seat memory settings update automatically ?   I will try it tomorrow if I get a chance. Thanks for your help.
#4271 of 4453 Extended warranty by bmwx330 Jun 06, 2009 (1:49 pm)
Anyone own a warranty that has worked out ??   If so, with who, how much was the plan ??   If you had to make a claim, did you experience any issues ??   I just bought a 2007 335xi with original waranty expiring in 2011.
#4272 of 4453 Rear A/C not a blast by ez2do Jun 08, 2009 (7:04 am)
I have a 2009 328i. Has anyone noticed that the rear a/c at max doesn't blow very hard? I want to hear from the masses if this is normal. Thanks. Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Jun 28, 2009 8:46 pm) ez2do (Jun 29, 2009 4:24 am)
#4273 of 4453 Extended Warranty by idoc2 Jun 09, 2009 (12:46 pm)
I'm soliciting comments on purchasing an extended warranty and maintenance agreement for my 2007 328xi with 47K miles. The car has been a bit of a lemon with regard to electronic gremlins so I'm concerned about ongoing problems after the warranty expires. The price I've been quoted is $2975 for the warranty and $1595 for the maintenance both to 100K miles. Neither covers AC, suspension radio and a variety of other minor issues. The dealer has said that the price is essentially non-negotiable for both. He said the maintenance agreement is worthwhile because a brake job alone which likely will be needed is covered and would be $2,000. What do people think and what are their experiences?

Replying to: idoc2 (Jun 09, 2009 12:46 pm) a car that's given you problems is not one you want to keep. I'd look to move on, by trade or whatever.

Replying to: idoc2 (Jun 09, 2009 12:46 pm) Sounds like it might be one of those "demon seed" BMWs you see once in a while. I'd consider just trading it in or selling it as the factory warranty expires and putting the $4570 as a down so that you'd start off with equity or near equity on a new one. Basically at the rate you're piling up miles you'll be at 100K in 30 months or so--so this warranty is extending your payments by $152 a month. Gee you could lease a new 328i for $350 a month with $3500 down.   And suspension is not a BMW strong point, and yet its an exclusion on the extended warranty. If this were a 750 I might think differently but this doesn't sound like all that good a deal for you.
