Mă numesc Davide, sunt din Italia și lucrez singur la aplicația asta.

Am început-o pentru mine. Volkswagen a oprit We Connect și am rămas fără nimic care să îmi arate drumurile și consumul real. Mașina are datele înăuntru, în calculatorul de bord, și cu un adaptor OBD2 ieftin, unul ELM327 pe Bluetooth, telefonul le poate citi.

Partea tehnică, pentru cine se uită la ea. Totul rulează pe telefon. Nu există cont, nu există server, nimic nu pleacă din aplicație. Se plătește o singură dată, fără abonament.

Ce m-a costat cel mai mult timp nu a fost citirea datelor, ci faptul că fiecare mașină răspunde altfel la aceleași întrebări standard. Uneori răspunde altceva, alteori nu răspunde deloc, și atunci nu ai ce inventa.

Un exemplu concret. Pe grupul Volkswagen se citesc gramele de funingine din filtrul de particule. Pe alte mărci se vede doar când pornește regenerarea, și numai dacă mașina dă temperatura. Pe unele nu se vede nimic. Nu promit mai mult decât scoate mașina.

Este pe Android și pe iPhone. Adaptoarele proprietare, cele care vorbesc doar cu aplicația mărcii lor, nu merg.

Există o probă gratuită de 7 zile sau 15 drumuri, aplicația întreagă, fără card.

I have 2015 F31 320d Xdrive (B47). I wanna see timing chain stretch with ISTA+ 4.32.15 but says its not possible with this DDE software? What to do to solve this? Please help. I could check injectors and other things but the chain not..

Not sure this is the right sub, if not I’ll delete this. Just got this 650i. I knew the wheel looked like this when I bought it and factored a new steering wheel into the price, I’m curious to know what happened to it. The leather feels like when you pick up an old bat and the grip is rough, and the white plastic portion looks like the prior owner’s dog used it as a chew toy. I have 2 other M steering wheels and none of them look like this and neither do my other 2 non-Ms obviously.

Hello, my friend has bmw e91 2005 with m47 and zf6hp19 automatic transmission. We took off the transmission to replace torque converter and now we are having hard time when we are trying to get it back together.
Main issue is when we are trying to attach tc back to flexplate. We cant get the bolts on without tc coming off from pump.

First photo is when we were taking transmission off.

Engine isn’t in straight line now and even when we get it straight with the transmission we cant put the bolts on from the gap beetween engine and transmission.

AI suggested that we take starter off and try that way but i thought i should ask here if someone knows any tricks.

All help is needed:)

Hi All,

A few months ago I bought my first BMW after wanting one for years. It’s an E82 135i (N55 DCT) coupe in Le Mans blue, cream interior, sunroof, the works. However, it was sat in a garage for 5 years prior to me purchasing it (it’s done about 200 miles in the entire 5 years).

Within 4 months of ownership, I’ve already dropped £3k on maintenance and repairs:

- Oil Filter Housing Replacement (incl. gasket)
- Valve Cover Replacement (incl. gasket & PCV/Breather System)
- Crank Seal Replacement (I unfortunately found out that it had chewed up a serpentine belt at some point in the past, so oil was leaking through the front crank seal as well)
- Crank Seal Guard Installation
- Turbo Inlet Pipe Replacement
- Serpentine Belt & Pulley Replacement
- Radiator Hose Replacement
- Oil & Filter Service (Replacement)
- Mechanical Oil Pressure Test (came back perfectly) - the sensors show electrical short codes so I wanted to be sure everything was okay after the belt ingestion I didn’t know about.
- Removal of Stage 1 map and return to Stock map.
- a few other minor things (third brake light, speakers weren’t connected properly etc)

The Oil Pan gasket had also just been replaced by the previous owner.

I’ve noticed since actually being able to drive it, for more than a day between garage visits, that it’s consuming an excessive amount of oil. I’ve consumed about 1/2 litre in just over 300 miles. That’s a mix of driving it from the Midlands back to London, commuting to work (from South London to Slough) twice a week, along with some spirited driving (when I can get out of London lol). Even though I’ve heard N55’s love burning oil, I know for a fact this is too excessive to be considered ‘normal’.

The car runs and drives perfectly, however sometimes I can smell burning oil in the cabin, and it’s more noticeable when you park up and stand by the bonnet after just finishing a drive.

I’ve read mixed things on the forums, ranging from the valve cover replacement not being done properly (meaning oil is dripping into the exhaust), all the way to the valve stem seals are finished and the engine needs stripping (which considering my current repair expenditure, would be a tough pill to swallow).

The car has no visible leaks underneath anymore, I’ve had cardboard under there for the last week and not a single drop has appeared. There were a couple when I first took it back from the garage, which I’m pretty sure was brake cleaner after cleaning the ridiculous amount of oil that was all over the place (according to the garage).

All of the work has been carried out by BMW/German car specialists. The garage that worked on it most recently (and did the valve cover) was a highly reputable BMW specialist that seemed super honest and talked me through the whole process.

Any advice/help on how to tackle this would be much appreciated. How much of an (albeit very pretty) lemon have I bought?

p.s. I knew old BMW ownership wasn’t for the weak, but Jesus Christ… this has been a trial by fire to say the least.

im almost done replacing solenoids and seals but the adapter wont go in. the little tab when i try rotating just rotates the entire plug. im also sure the sleeve is fully in because the tab in mechatronics is fully inside and i switched the sleeve already to make sure it wasnt that. ive been stuck here for 3 days, any help would be greatly appreciated. ive also tried dry lube spray on the ring bc i couldnt find silicon spray

I have a 2019 M240i with 95k miles. I bought this car a month ago. Today in the morning I got a message saying increased battery drain while stopped. It also says vehicle battery charge low. I checked codes in bimmerlink and also checked the state of charge and it's at 16% right now. I checked the state of charge 2 days ago it was at 78% everything was all fine until this morning. I also checked the voltage today while idling it was around 14.3v then it went to 15.3 then back down. The battery is only 1 year old. Could it be a bad alternator?

On wheel is not braking, no error codes. Left back wheel.
All looks ok except no hidraulic going to that line.
Bmw E70 X5 2012

Its at the top right side of the engine bay. Between the firewall and strut. The sensor here was loose / unplugged.

Wondering as I've had a misfire on cylinder 2, mass airflow circuit A low and for some reason my battery drained to 9v overnight!!
