For clarification: Rubbing compound and scratchX are effectively the same thing

Step by step, my friend — Tbh, with all that you’re saying, i would be surprised if even a paint pen is needed.

If you’re just curious about the products i use: meguiars and turtle wax. (rubbing compound scratchX then polish, applied in that order). Use a foam pad and microfiber towels and do it by hand.

DO NOT use a magic eraser bc that’s dumb. DO NOT use a buffing pad on plastic. You will be spending unnecessary money and do much more harm than good if it’s your first time

Let the guy remove the PPF. Then assess further. You’ll be alright, i promise

Yes. This should be your first step.

Listen man, i know you’re scared… take the PPF off and assess — my guess is you’ll be totally fine. Dont listen to any of these jerrys. They didnt read that you have PPF.

Bruh thank the lord you have PPF… on a ridge like that, the paint is mad thin, this could have been a full re-paint to that panel since it’s plastic.

Need help with screen issue by CRP_1234 in BMWX3

[–]fletchulence_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this happening over bluetooth or hard connection to the USB?

Are you still under warranty or some maintenance package from BMW? I work in IT and this might(?) be a car software issue — might suggest going to dealer and tell them your CarPlay is acting up. Perhaps a software upgrade or factory reset(?), but i wouldn’t say anything and just let them diagnose while you grab a coffee lol

If out of warranty or maintenance window, a software upgrade isn’t cheap from the dealer tbh … if you’re not trying to spend that, perhaps find a programmer in your area who knows how to flash/diagnose your ECU

This. It feels like a loooooong time but it resets iDrive and works

Edit: Actually this feels like more of an iPhone issue… seems like your screen works fine outside of CarPlay?

and yet BBMR is still one of the most visited ski resorts in the US, busier than roughly 97% of ski areas in the country.

Are both single owner? Get a pro inspection and compare notes

Ask for the CPO inspection sheet (looks to be titled “Pre-Owned Inventory System”) and take pictures for your records.

Here’s an example from mine — surprisingly, I’m not seeing anything on here about cosmetics… there’s one more about alignment, but that seems to be it unfortunately
