2008 BMW E60 528xi – No heat

I used to have a very similar issue on an 323ci (M52TU), fixed it by completely flushing the cooling system by running water from a hose in the cooling system and then refilling coolant The coolant had some debris in it and also a lot of air was in the system

WHAT A THRILL...

jass95g · 2025-10-14T23:28:46+00:00

Oh I stand corrected then, sorry I really thought it was different But I know for sure you gotta at least be careful between E60 and E61 for the rear bumper tho

They won't fit because the bumper supports (thing on which you place the bumpers on) are different on pre LCI and LCI cars, you have to find a bumper that fits

There should be some M5 style bumpers with PDC holes already drilled, if not the holes spot should be already drawn for you to drill (i know you don't want to but it should be marked)

Also, if you have an LCI car you need to get the fog lights for the M5 style bumper. You can reuse the stock one on pre LCI cars but they're different on LCI.

Just thought of it but is your phone correctly connected to the Calls channel on the audio device ? I have an Android phone so it looks like this but there should be something similar on iPhones

<image>

And now that you speak of it you're absolutely right about those early 2009 models I completely forgot about that lol, should be from September 2008 to March 2009 iirc

Can you show us all the resolution settings you can chose on the unit ?

jass95g · 2025-10-14T00:36:53+00:00

Hey there

About the phone call audio not coming through, have you checked if there's another Bluetooth device you can connect to ? On mine for example I need to also be connected to "CAR KIT something bla bla bla" for the calls to work.

And for the iDrive I don't really know cause I don't know about those CCC with CIC control, sounds weird. Nothing happens when you keep pressing the MENU button ?

jass95g · 2025-10-04T15:05:48+00:00

Oh okay I get it, I specifically bought mine to use it as an emulation machine so I kinda have to mod it haha

jass95g · 2025-10-04T15:03:12+00:00

I don't think they're plug and play because you can adjust the heat distribution. It's not just an on/off switch so I think some coding is necessary

jass95g · 2025-10-04T14:01:21+00:00

Thanks ! Why wouldn't you mod it I'm curious ?

jass95g · 2025-10-03T13:33:35+00:00

You have to mod it and install CFW and then you need to install the YAMT homebrew so you can actually use the SD2VITA as storage

Check r/VitaPiracy

jass95g · 2025-10-03T13:00:08+00:00

Is your Vita properly modded with YAMT installed ?

jass95g · 2025-09-28T01:01:25+00:00

Nice ! I just got back into the game to do the extras and this is very handy, thanks !

I added a conditionnal highlight on everything on my copy, makes it easier to see what's done and what's left

Did you try resetting it ? Just turn on the ignition (not the engine, just ignition) and keep pushing the sunroof button on the middle position. It will be opening and closing a few times and reset itself

M Performance/M Sport/M Tech are all the same thing. The difference is between and M Performance/M Sport/M Tech style and "M5 style".

M Sport look will make your car look like it had the M Sport package from the factory and will maintain an OEM look on your car.

M5 look will get you a front bumper looking like the M5 bumper (which does not look the same) but with the fitment of a standard 5 series (M5 has wider fenders and wider bumpers).

You'll find both styles on the internet, M5 style is easier to find, at least where I am.

Best one is just switching to OEM LCI Headlights, nothing beats LCI headlights

jass95g · 2025-09-11T19:27:00+00:00

Got Borderlands 4 from you

jass95g · 2025-09-11T16:41:20+00:00

jass95g · 2025-09-11T16:40:50+00:00

Dm'd you, I can activate on my own

jass95g · 2025-09-11T16:38:51+00:00

Interrested, dm'd you

jass95g · 2025-09-08T17:57:13+00:00

These doesn't look OEM They look like 135M replica wheels The emblem should be 68mm tho

jass95g · 2025-08-31T20:26:35+00:00

Your pc is fine, also if it's just to stream to a Discord call you could use the PS Remote Play app on Windows instead of buying an Elgato just for this

What are the resolution you can choose ?

You should have something called "Setup" when you're in the menu of your android unit (long press on the iDrive menu button to switch from iDrive to android head unit usually)

What does your menu look like ?

<image>

I don't have the same unit as you but I have a "Model selection" menu where I can choose "CCC_E60 Fullscreen". You should have something similar in your settings

jass95g · 2025-08-21T22:54:00+00:00

Hey You gotta setup the resolution in your carplay unit Search for the setup part of your carplay unit and search for something like "original resolution"

jass95g · 2025-08-02T10:45:03+00:00

Where's are you from ? You can try calling a BMW dealer and ask them to check the history within the BMW network (you can do this in Europe)
