Replying to: div2 (Sep 12, 2006 12:45 pm) You made me relax! Thank you!! Right now I am at 49,900 and few weeks ago I ran into thermostat issue. It is fixed now. You were correct. I will keep mine till end of lease - next April and then get X3. Let me know your thoughts on x3. I have been noticing ( occasionaly) that when I start my car in the morning, it vibrates for atleast 2 minutes and then its ok. The vibration is noticeable and it happens when its cold out there. Any thoughts? Regards, Viz.

I have a 2004 530i since new (May 2004), and I have one of those "singing frogs" in my car: Occasionally when I have the radio or CD on, a static sound will start. In the beginning, I could barely hear the static, and then the volume of the static would increase steadily. In about 5 minutes or so, it would become so loud that I wouldn't be able to hear anything but the static. It happened only once or twice in the first year I had the car, but lately it has been happening about once every two weeks (I drive the cars 3 times a week or so). I took the car to my dealer, and of course they said they couldn't fix a problem that I couldn't duplicate in front of them (thus the "singing frog"). Has anyone had the same problem? Or does anyone have any idea what's hiding under the hood of my 530i? Any opinions or solutions will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know where to start. The vehicle is a 530i without nav or DSP. I bought an aftermarket Alpine from Pacific BMW. The old model number was #82 11 0 028 760. The new number is 65 12 6 983 336. I had to buy a separate bracket of which half of it was already in my car, the bottom bracket. One problem is with this bottom bracket. It has two tits sticking up. The one is not in the way but the second one will not allow the bottom of the changer to sit flush against the floor. The unit is a trunk mount and stands vertical. I plugged in both the 6 pin cable and the three pin cable just for a test. I got a "CD error" on the display but the in dash unit did play. In addition, the 4 screws that hold the top bracket around the changer were not included in the accessory kit. Fortunately, I found four screws that fit. Did I mention these instructions are worthless??? Anyone install one of these that can steer me in the right direction? Thanx in advance, Rob |
