BMW and M Power Owners

Can someone who has NCS Expert v4.0.1 send me the Revtors profile for it? My package came with that profile among many others but the rev's one included is a v2 profile so I can't use the .man file I've edited up to code back to the car. All I need to do is enable M Track mode. Everything else was doable via the Android app thanks to a recent app update, bonus.

Would be awesome if someone can!

Edit*
Not needed, I can just create my own coding profile to do the same thing...

£100 excess is £73pm I think? Could just ask for MORE CASH from work, see what they say :)

Retrofitting seems to be a bit of a DIY job. Not sure I really care enough to want to go down that route.



Sounds a bit like mine - one USB in the glovebox.

At £73pm, forget the warranty and just stick that money to one side. That is a very large amount of money to pay for a non sporty/exotic car.

And at your mileage you're getting into the territory of BMW rejecting things due to wear and tear.
 
4GC, like the 6GC.

It's the 4 door version of the 2 door version of the 4 door car. It's a hatchback.

But then what's the point in a 3 series GT? I just don't get it! Also, not sure it is a hatch. Just checked, both are hatches. Thus seem to fill exactly the same role.

Yes, the 3 GT and 4 GC are extremely similar. However the 4 GC comes with better standard kit - e.g. Xenons but costs £2k more.

Spot the difference

The front is a little different but it's crazy that both of these cars exist from the same company

Depends how long the current owner has had it.

If he's had it for 3-4 years then it's ok.

Just saw the advert, wouldn't buy it as owner sounds like a douche however all M3 owners are so it's complicated. Honestly, who actually puts 'bruv' in their advert. What an embarrassment.
 
Just found this M3 for sale, seems to be a great spec but I'm not sure on the price. What do you guys reckon?

£12k is reaching for that car. It's unquestionably got a lot desirable points to it but it he won't get 12k for it. But in fairness he doesn't sound like he's in any rush to get rid of it so why not price it a bit high?

That car is probably worth about £10k or there abouts.
 
Had an 'overheating' error appear yesterday after about 30 minutes driving and then a few minutes later 'overheated'. (Oil temp was fine).

Turned out to be a coolant airlock.


I could have sworn I read BMW's used sealed/closed coolant circuits, sparking some debate, so checking water levels was never on the 'to do' list. Emergency Service came out within half an hour and had it cleared shortly after.

Just curious how an airlock can develop? I've not opened the water cap since owning the vehicle (over a year) so unless when it had an oil service and MOT two weeks ago they've topped it up and trapped some air in there? Quite a bit came out...

The water pump is working fine and was continuously pumping once the air was cleared. My local Indy thinks it could be the thermostat.

Has anyone had this before or something similar?

I'd keep an eye on this. I don't think it is the airlock. When my water pump needing replacing it would suddenly after about 10 miles of driving go from a steady 90c, to then feeling the air from the vents suddenly going cold and water temp steadily going up to around 120c followed by it then saying it was overheating. All I had to do was stop the engine and restart it and the temperature would suddenly fall back down to 90c and I'd be fine for the remainder of my journey, however long it was.

It's almost like the water pump would just suddenly stop, then when the engine had been restarted it would kick back to life and work fine again. Strange symptoms but fixed with a new water pump, which are common items to fail.
