I mailed mine off for refurbishment. I don’t recall replacing any gaskets. When I say five years it’s five years and counting so I wouldn’t hesitate to go that route again. Either way good luck with...

I’m a moderately tech savvy guy, at least I think so, and I’ve had the same problems. What I’ve learned (I think) is that there are different drivers for different cables. I’ve had mixed success....

I hear ya I looked at that too. Was hoping someone could say the screen is a “Samsung part **” or whatever that could be purchased elsewhere. Obviously I’m not dropping $2k on a new one. Prob not...

As in just put in a used one? Ideally I’d like to just replace the screen component within the console.

Rear Entertainment Screen Replacement

I know the system is antiquated and limited, but it works for us with my small kids except that the screen has faded to almost washed out to the point you can barely see it. Does anyone know what the...

As long as your battery is good that N62 will fire up every time and get you where you’re going. I dealt with some cold start problems this week but it still started. These motors will leak oil but...

The diesels are too slow for my taste. If gas mileage is a factor X5 may not be the right move.

I have an 08 48i that’s nearing 150k. Daily driver, perfectly reliable. Strong motor, good car, I like it a lot, but I don’t know that I’d ‘recommend’ the 48i. I was fortunate enough to have valve...

Autohold uses the hydraulic brakes (at least as best I understand it), when you switch the car off with AH on it auto engages the parking brake and releases the hydraulic brakes. So still sounds to...

Yeah I like the feature of one touch stop, hit start button and trans is in park and the brake is on. Conversely I usually disengage the parking brake by activating auto hold.

Hey ard, appreciate the input. I’d second your vote on most issues, and funny enough I bought a battery earlier tonight (pickup tomorrow) because of this and it’s time anyway. Got a Bosch 49-850 for...

No smoke at all that I can tell. Are leaky injectors an issue on the gas V8s? Hadn’t previously heard that but they may be. No codes at first, got couple misfires on second scan but that seems like a...

Sounds like parking brake isn’t actually braking correctly. Usually that triggers a light, but maybe there’s a faulty part that doesn’t. The auto hold uses the hydraulic actuator but the parking...

Of course they did! Dealers don’t fix anything, they just throw parts at it. Do as I suggested and take it off and send it to a repair service for $300.
