New Car - Couple of Questions

[jgold47]

Hi Everyone - I just traded in my 325xi (e46) on a 2004 x5 3.0. Pretty excited. However, its freeezing cold, and I havent had a chance to play around with it too much, but I already have a couple of questions.

1. lets start with the most annoying one. I drove this car several times before buying it and never heard this noise. Hopefully on the video you can hear it. Its a high pitched squeek, I am guessing its the blower motor. I cant imagine why I am all the sudden hearing it. Perhaps something blew in there last night (I am not 100% sure it has a CAF installed currently).

2. Can you see my cluster? Does it look normal? The lighting is all different colors? Like the D is super bright, but the rest isnt... I've attached a picture showing it as well as a video i think.

3. I've got my owners manuals coming still, but is there a way to get the radio information to display on the cluster? I have a MID with a bunch of pixels out that I plan to send in to get replaced, but I would like it if I could see it on the cluster.


Thats it for now, I am going to do a full tuneup this weekend since I dont know how or when the last one is done. Oil/Air/CAF/Plugs and new o2 sensors since its about time. I'll save the tranny/dif/xfer for the spring.




I cant figure out these links, so just be a friend and click
