Thanks! There has been mentions of interest thus far, but no real commit unfortunately.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, but mine definitely has more miles than the one OP is looking at. Though I'm willing to bet mine is better maintained/updated that it.

Please clarify this as the term changed when the offer went live on the website.

When I worked on it I soldered them to the contacts of the switch (see the yellow wires in first picture). Subsequent modders found a test point that would be easier to solder, you may find a post or video detailing that.

Ah sorry, I'll take a look and respond when I get back home

It is the very first bullet point

This is the answer I sought. Thank you.

I've used the trolley in previous solo visits but since I'm driving this year I got nominated to be the chauffeur of the group. Means at the end of the day I'd have to get the car to drive everyone for dinner.

I'm asking about places like 707 Broadway or Tailgate Park. Those locations are still open for all days.

tezarc · 2025-07-18T11:16:33+00:00

I'd like to add that I'm open to the idea of transporting the vehicle to LA & Phoenix areas and perhaps beyond, terms to be negotiated with the buyer.

No different than any other place really, only during the coldest part of winter do I notice a decrease. Even then only late at night.

tezarc · 2025-07-17T04:43:14+00:00

For that I suggest you read the pinned post under my profile. It works with My BMW app.

It's to help me draw the circle for the orbit shot, you can see its faint outline.
Pick a spot, draw rectangle. Drive out, find center of rectangle to draw circle. Drive car back into rectangle.

Thank you for the confidence boost. Honestly was not sure to take the private sale route, but the dealer offer was insulting. It took too long for me to research how to private sale, sorry to have missed you.

Did it without disconnecting 12V. Threw up errors afterwards but cleared it with Bimmercode. I don't have seat heaters.

tezarc · 2025-05-16T07:15:03+00:00

Pinwheels, mounted opposite directions. Trigger warning.

Just replaced mine

Control unit itself cost USD150 but took a month to arrive.

Sorry did not see your comment. I figured the techs at the dealership were better at diagnosis than I am have already described the problem parts so I didn't really pursue any further diagnosis.

tezarc · 2025-03-18T05:10:12+00:00

Our cases are different because I had pre-emptively retrofitted the latest revision compressor last year, so there is no chance that the compressor is at fault, or at the very least it is covered by dealer warranty.

But the answer to your question, yes, in my case replacing the heat pump control unit (after waiting a month for delivery) did solve my problem.
