It's an BMW OEM fragrance holder. I had it in my F30 years ago. Really nice subtle fragrance

Auto Braking Anomaly
Hi All
I experienced something interesting today I thought I might share. I always park underground in a parking lot and when I drive to the bottom level there is a large pool of water on the ground as there is a leak in the concrete roof above . Now normally I just drive slowly through it and it's ok. I must of driven through this pool of water every day for about 3 weeks. Now today I stopped just before the pool of water and then accelerated, suddenly the car red warning symbol came up and the car violently braked..aaargh, got quite a shock. So what I think may have happened is the front camera possibly thought that the reflection of my car in the pool of water was another car and then braked the car automatically. Has anybody experienced this ? My car has never braked automatically before so this is a first and there was no other car or obstacle in front of me. Maybe a possible technology glitch, quite possible. |

I think you will find the system acted because you accelerated fast suddenly, the computer realised that you may hit a nearby wall or something. If the wheels were pointing towards a wall it would do that.

Mine has no messages option in the idrive so I can't connect the car to my connected drive account. Can send the code fine from the app but the car just can't receive the code. Tried all the troubleshooting that exists online. Dealer had no clue when the car went in for the tie rod recall and gave me the car back saying everything was fine but of course it wasn't... Going back in on Monday. Frustrating!

Sensors must have thought there was some danger of collision and was sending out a warning.😬😬😬

My car has slammed on the brakes randomly before and I never knew why... but it was after a lot of rain and the ground was wet, so that might explain it. I was going about 30km/hr coming up to a set of lights. It was very annoying!!
My drive way also has a crack in the concrete that single blades of grass grows out of periodically. So when I back out, and one piece of grass is 15cm high or something it also slams on the brakes and I literally can't back out of my driveway. I have to get out and pull it out. It's all a little too sensitive. |

Water drops on cameras or sensors can throw off the collision warning system. States that in owners manual

Funnily enough mine did the same thing this evening leaving a family dinner. Reversing out of the drive way , the reverse sensors went crazy and slammed on the brakes. Did it three consecutive times.
Car was clean dry and reversing out of a flat open area. Only way to get moving was to disable emergency braking. On the plus side the nieces were in hysterics laughing at me bunny hopping out of the drive way :

Blades of grass now that is sensitive , which reminds me I need to turn the volume down of the impact imminent warning every time I reverse down my steep driveway it beeps like hell very irritating From my understanding there is a radar Sensor just below the front number plate and a camera behind the rear view mirror facing forward so a combination of these would evaluate whether you would be in danger of crashing into anything |

When this happens I always look in the rear view mirror to make sure I’m not about to be rear ended. Annoying that this system is so sensitive, but good for those inattentive driving moments when it could save an impact with a wayward pedestrian.

When I had an F30, my driver’s mirror was squeaking/creaking and I had the mirror motor replaced under warranty.

In a way for sure. I'm happy I have a reason to visit the dealer (after lock down is over) because I' can ask for an update with Android Auto!

Most of my issues are plastic creaking issues. I'm sure most cars have this but because of the quietness of the interior I can hear creaking clearer. Note that I'm a bit more pedantic that the average person.
98% it's perfect but I've been hunting them down and have been getting to know my interior and how this car is essentially clipped together (like most modern cars). So far gummi flegr applied liberally along any friction points with felt tape seems to work. For now this seems to have fixed it and I'm sure the dealer would have done something similar but if it comes back badly maybe a new trim piece is required. I have no idea why BMW uses such cheap hard glossy plastic at key points. Over the last week the car has delivered some faint cracking and popping plastic tension noise from the shadow gloss black plastic trim on the B pillar on the driver's side. On closer inspection it appears that some of the plastic is very very slightly warped and very slightly misaligned (about 2mm. It looks worse in the photos). I have been able to push it back a bit better but you can see the driver's side is not quite flush whereas the passenger side is perfect (it looks worse in the pics than it is). You would probably never notice unless you looked (I never noticed until now) because its all black. Apparently this is not an uncommon problem. The popping noise comes from the plastic rubbing the bare metal. The slight misalignment in the front b pillar black trim causes slightly more pressure on the rear door gloss black which caused some more creaking. If you push where my hand is it will pop and creak. The fix is running felt tape under the lip and pushing it in as far as possible. See pics. This is completely damped any plastic tension pop on the rear door and removed about 85% of pop front the front trim. I can completely man handle the rear B pillar plastic trim without a creak. The front still creaks with strong hand pressure but it is much more damped. Last edited by erawamai; 08-30-2020 at 05:50 PM.. |
