I have this same problem and my cable works fine everywhere else (both via direct USB and through the outlet plug).

Did you find out what the issue is?

Thanks.

NBT Headunit must be replaced. The information is available in other threads.

I haven't, I ended up just getting some 12v USB adapters to put in the front and rear seats and just use those now. TBH, those adapters are more handy to use/get to then opening the center console to use the built in USB anyway, so not really an inconvenience for me.

I agree that the adapters are much easier to use and that's exactly what I've been doing as well. I had forgotten about this problem actually until I saw this post then my OCD kicked lol. I'm just going to put it on my next service-due-list since it's still under CPO warranty, so may as well see what the dealer says. Thanks for your reply.

I´ve been experiencing a very unresponsive and floaty steering above 40 mph. Doesn't act like any BMW I´ve driven. As a matter of fact, I don´t think I´ve driven a car with such a terrible steering. Above 40mph when I slightly turn the wheel in kind of keeps the steering angle, doesn't move back to neutral, it almost feels like it locks itself.. I don´t know if its normal...... I have an appointment on Monday for a checkup.

If your car has the Active Steering option, I believe this behavior is normal.

You mean, upgrade to NBT Evo yes? As per other threads it's due to to USB port is unable to deliver current more than 0.5A right?

[CatalinP]

It depends whether or not NBT is still available as spare part.

Having a heck of a time replacing the right side (passenger side in the US) door pull. Ordered the part from BMW but not able to remove the handle from the car. Removed the leather and two torx <20> screws. Feel like there is one more small one since the older models show it and the replacement piece looks like there is a spot for a smaller screw. Don’t want to force it off the car just in case there is that third screw.

Anyone else do this replacement before?

Went to local BMW Body shop and they explained that the older X5 (not the F15) can easily be replaced with three screws facing the occupant. The new X5s (F15) the third screw is accessible only by removing the door panel.

Hey Guys!

I need your help. I faced one problem with the trunk of my BMW X6 2016 and I do not know what to do with it.

Not long ago I heard a horrible rattle sound from the back of my car. I stopped by a dealer in Toronto, Canada.

The first time, he did not hear anything. The second time, he told me that it is a plastic trim and that is fine. The third time, they told me that that is normal for a 2-year-old car and they will not be able to help me.

The video of the sound I recorded today can be found here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_F..._AluGGjhPgWVj6

Have you faced with the similar issue? If so, how did you fix it?


Thank you so much for your help! Appreciate your advice.

I got it a 2015 X5 Xdrive 50 i M sport before a month.Today i noticed a warning saying DrainTrain Malfunction . I was able to check the CC-ID code in the check submenu and it has a code of 0034. Not sure what is it (checked the list of codes and could not find this code). The warning was gone with in a mile or so , after i turned the engine off and then restarted. Any one faced this before ? should i ignore this till i see it again or take it to service center? i am out of warranty on the car, 2 weeks back. Will this be a spark plug issues ? any suggestions ?

Did the truck jerk or bog when the Drivetrain Malfunction warning came on? I had this issue with my E70...

[ryegateli]

Yes it did jerk for a few seconds may be for like 30 seconds and i stopped at red signal , turned the car off and and turned on .. warning remained for less than 10 seconds again but this time no jerk and later its gone .

The dealer/mechanic will have to read the codes when it's in error mode and I think you need to have it checked as mine only got worse over a month or two. Unfortunately, i don't think this problem will go away on its own. I ended up trading mine in instead of repairing it so I don't know what caused it, but from what a few BMW mechanics told me, it needs to be read in error mode to see what's causing it.

If I were you, since you're just out of the warranty period, I would still take it to BMW service to have them check it and log it in your file. They may be willing to help you with pricing or even cover the repair since it's so close to warranty expiration. Are you out of warranty because of the mileage, because you're in a 2015 and factory warranty is usually 4 years?

[ryegateli]

Yes I just crossed 50k 2 weeks back. And yes I did check both Error Codes(sub menu) and Checks(sub menu) Codes from the hidden menu by unlocking it. There is no Error code at the miles when this Warning came up. But there is a Check code ( CC-ID) 0034 came up exactly matching with the miles when i got the warning yesterday. So, the error mode you talking about is totally different than these two ?

I am referring to the error code when they plug in the OBD. I don't know if that's the same error code you're getting. Try searching the error code and see what you come up with. There are lists of codes on the interwebs.

Ok let me investigate more and yeah i better take this to BMW service center to log it.
