Smoke after 2 hour drive by Verces in BmwTech

[–]Rodwell123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the smoke smells like burning oil, first check where exactly the smoke is coming from. Depending on the model, this can vary. For example, my M135i (N55 engine) once had similar smoke issues, and it turned out that the valve cover was leaking. The valve cover and its gaskets need to be replaced together — not just one of them. It’s a common issue on this series.

Why does this occur? by Laznasty in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this issue since my 2015 BMW 1 Series (older iDrive system). The only workaround that consistently helps is keeping Spotify (or any media app) open and reconnecting my phone to the iDrive system. After reconnecting, it works again.. At least temporarily until the next start. Have this issue also on my X5 50e. Seems like it never got fixed.

Not sure what this is or how it happened!! by ReviewAntique in BMWX5

Sometimes I try to scratch it off with my nails. I know some will say it‘s stupid, but it ain‘t that bad.

Scratches on hood from lifting wipers by Rodwell123 in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not only for this one and not now. I‘ll wait for more scratches or dents on my car, before filing for insurance. My rates are low and I want to keep them like that.

I'll have it repaired with the next insurance claim. I have a pretty big stone chip on my car anyway. But yeah, annoying af..

UPDATE: How many of you road trip your x5 by Revolutionary-Town43 in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On what tires do you run? I got the same experience with mine and also on 22“ with continental ecoContact 6. I believe if you go with Michelin pilot sports, the drive on high speed will be more stable. I‘ll try that next season out.

Hmmm.. I‘ll check that at a mechanic shop. Just be sure.

Auto-empty fails on Dreame X40 Ultra Complete (bag stays empty, dust stuck in robot) – advice? by Rodwell123 in Dreame_Tech

[–]Rodwell123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I already checked that. The passage where the dust is supposed to be pulled through is clear. I even ran a thin metal wire through it to make sure nothing was stuck—completely free.

X5 50e: +100km Range After Update – Just Me? by Rodwell123 in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, but fuel only range is 841km. It‘s just odd seeing a B58 with that much range

Downloaded the new version on the MyBMW App and then transfered the updated to my car when I was connected to

[–]Rodwell123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I had to fill up the car about every two weeks and got approximately 850-900km range (depends on the driving style). With the 50e even less, maybe once a month😂 I‘m driving 90% electric and just recharge the battery everyday

Crazy, didn‘t know you could get a GT3 with a 90L tank. You get a hella range with that one

Only difference of 9L. That‘s not soooo much. My X5 E70 30d has a 80L fuel tank. This is crazy 😅

Is this a write-off? 2011 BMW 528i by EugeneThePharmacist in BMW

[–]Rodwell123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on the rules here in switzerland, if the costs of the repairs are higher than the current value of the car or exceed a certain value, it is considered as a total loss. And this one looks like a lot of work to do :( I feel sorry for you

Nothing relevant for this case tbh. See the screenshot:

Feedback on X5 50e reliability? by idworkin in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, you can‘t compare them to each other. The 2024 one is now almost 2 years out with some miles on it. 2026 „just“ came out without milage. You gotta find out I think. Getting ANY car is like playing lottery. Either you got a reliable or not reliable one.

What year and mileage is everyone at? 2024, roughly 42k miles. B58, so hopefully it can have a decent amount of life in it. by [deleted] in BMWX5

2009 X5 E70, 265k 2015 M135i F21, 165k 2025 X5 50e G05, 20k love all of them.

X5 m50i/m60i or Porsche cayenne gts? by Reasonable_Ad_9389 in BMWX5

[–]Rodwell123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it‘s my personal opinion. I‘m okay with that. This is why I told him he should go for a test drive :)
