My L322 has the infrared BMW locking system because it was originally supplied to Japan, where for some reason the usual wireless keys are/were not allowed.

I have only one key with the IR. The oth ...

The NZ maps are very out of date; my previous vehicle was a Discovery 3 which had more or less the same nav system in, but English and with the NZ maps.

I don't think the NZ disc has been updated s ...

Ha. I have one of those. Nice picture of Mount Cook on that one.

TBH NZ is an easy place to drive - I know virtually every road in the country now in terms of getting from one place to another. The ...

My car originally came from Japan.

The Nav etc has English display but only Japanese voice etc and no option to change that in any menu I can find. It also seems to have Japanese maps.

The headlights on my 2006 MY 4.2SC seem outwardly the same as the ones on my 2005MY D3.

On the D3 they had the active bending.

The RR seem to do the little self check 'dance' when turned on, bu ...

Can anyone identify the correct part number? I have found at least two!

YUE 000162 seems a likely candidate. However I need to order it from a UK supplier for shipment to a friend there at the mome ...

4.2 SC

I've never driven a car that has such effortless grunt on tap when required and is so well mannered when pootling.

I agree with all the replies that maintenance is key. If that is up to d ...

The car was in the shop the other day (faulty rear washer) and I had them disconnect the bonnet switch whilst they were at it.

The car has remained entirely silent ever since!

Mine was delivered with 255 55 20 Goodyear Eagle F1 SUV's.

The tyre should be 255 50 20 but the dealer assured me that it would simply be 'slightly more comfortable'!

If I pull the plug block out, will the system then complain incessantly that the switch is not connected, or just remain silent and ignore the switch?

Went off at 0925 today, so I think it must be a sun issue.

Likewise the paint is rubbed on mine.

Today it went off circa 0915 just like yesterday! I popped the bonnet and fettled the switch and it's contacts. I will see what happens tomorrow and if that ha ...
