Recommendation for any front seat covers?
Matthew Ashton replied to ajl530d's topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
Good leather cleaner is all you need. I’ve not seen any decent seat covers and they’ve never been mentioned here as far as I can remember. -

That is just so wrong! -

They look fine as they are quite discrete. Hopefully they are aluminium as the steel ones are prone to galvanic corrosion and a real bugger to get off once the corrosion has set it (that's why since RDC tyre pressure sensors, BMW ship the cars new with grey plastic caps). Had to cut the caps off a friend's mini while I was giving it a service. -

Yes, ISTA allows you to easily adjust the ride height. -
Totally different design on the Gxx cars.

Sorry, that one needs the connected drive subscription. Wait for the November Black Friday sale when BMW usually do 20% discount. -

I used to do this every 6 months on my old F11. It was still on the original bags when I sold it at 8 years old and 54000 miles. -

You only get the equaliser with the HK system. I have it in my G32 and it’s too much of a gimmick for me and I get all I need from bass and treble control. -

To prolong the bag’s life, you need to jack the car up, remove the wheel and give that bag a good clean with soapy water to get rid of all that grit. As the bag folds over on itself from this fully extended position, the grit acts as sandpaper and wears the rubber much quicker. -
They are there , just a challenge to find them.

After 49 pages of input, all this has been covered. I did another post a good few years ago using an inspection camera down each of the waterways from the windscreen scuttle.

Congratulations on the F11. Lovely car and I really like the luxury trim. As for the Hifi sound. It is a vast improvement over standard. Standard has just 6 speakers and they are driven by the headunit. HIFi has 12 speakers and a separate 400w (or thereabouts) amp. HK has 16 speakers and a bigger amp. -
May have changed to include a different colour option at LCI.

What did you do to your F07/F10/F11 today?
Matthew Ashton replied to F10 530d's topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
Definitely looks like towbar related. I had to make this exact modification to my old F11 when I fitted its towbar. -
Engine warning light - loss of power on acceleration. 520D 2010.

The only way to know is through proper diagnostics. Could be EGR related but that of course is merely a guess.
