BMW Coding & Diagnostics

[fraser5454]

LOL! Maybe...... I have a deposit on a UK F80, but we'll see if it all works out. My previous 335d was super powerful, but the shite handling and DPF issues were too much so it went, I then did a full 180 and got an e250 CDI coupe, super super boring, it cost literally nothing to run too, but the engine is a complete dog, I dont like the golf-club image, its just not me, and I missed the power, if I had bought the e350 I wouldnt be changing, but its nearly sold and a pretty subtle/lowkey F80 is nearly bought.

Thanks a mill for the update on the coding, really appreciate it, I expected this answer but just wanted to check. Ill get the auto wing mirror folding coded (maybe rebelranter will be available) and Ill leave it at that I reckon.

Any advice? things to watch out for? do's and dont's? Do you have a tracker? real MPG? I would love real world feedback. Cheers!

Sure, I do need to get time to rebuild my kit though, been up the walls with work and not getting much done.

Great news, The M4 makes the 335d look like a lazy slug performance wise you will be very happy.

What to watch out for...not much, there are few issues. Make sure the air con works properly. Check for bumper scuffs at the front its very low. Make sure the HUD is the coloured version, if its B&W its old and needs software updating. Make sure the M logos in the seats light up properly. Tyres are always an issue, Check it goes into reverse and out again properly if a DCT (if its slow its software again). DCT is fairly bullet proof. Like all BMW its very mileage sensitive and make sure the big services were done on schedule and oil changed properly. Bring a Carley and read the codes off the car.

Have you driven one already, its important to do so for comparison. The suspension should feel very tight and the steering heavy, there should be no vagueness at all. Ride is hard that ok but slackens off a lot on comfort.

Cheers Moe. Its a 2015, only 25k miles, its just been through BMW approved used process with zero issues, all software up to date, aircon working fine. Appreciate the tips!

Hey, can anyone reset a FRM short circuit counter for me around the southeast?

If you can’t find someone I can do it here in Cork.

Hi guys,
Recently got F10 and trying to hook it up with ISTA + using ENET cable.
Tried everything what I've found on the net even laptops IP set to static but it won't connect mean Enet interface isn't available in ISTA.
I've got edabas.ini set to enet as well...
Any idea what to do? I've tried 2 different cables so isn't the hardware issue.
Any help highly appreciated

F10 should work with ENET cable. Can you screen shot your ISTA connection settings screen? I'll compare to my set up.

thanks mate,
screens and ediabas.ini attached
My ENET cables are RJ45 of course

I've had connection monitor open and seem theres no comms at all, it just shows bytes sent by laptop when received '0'

Turned out that windows on my laptop was screwed up, did factory reset, installed INPA and ISTA again and all is working now
