Sounds like it'll be a common connector to Ground. Have you checked the connections to make sure everything is tight?

Ok, so it's £200 over all 4 corners - but how much is your insurance excess? The tyre is the only point of contact with the road, ideally you want to have the most amount of grip possible to maintain car control at all times. Any named Brand on the premium or mid level will be a lot better than the cheap brands. Check out Falken, Hanlook, Michelin Primacy, Goodyear Efficient Grip. Check out Tyre reviews on YouTube, here's a linked video for you and real world data; l.ink to data; https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2020-Tyre-Reviews-Ultimate-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm summary of data; Dry braking cheap tyres are 5 meters/1 car length longer & double that in the wet Note. That is done in a controlled environment with a good road surface.

it'll be a sensor that's on its way out, and not giving the correct readings. which is why you get restricted power as the value it is giving is not matching what the car thinks there should be - judging by the data it gets from the other sensors. If you unplug the MAF the car will run on a standard default map, which is considered safe. Try it and see how the car drives - ideally the car should perform as normal.

Did it do this before you installed the Android module?

Depends what you want to carry (weight/value wise) I've got some cheap ones i've used for moving wood, bed frames, etc. Nothing heavy (no more than 20KG's) and they've been fine. For Bikes, or anything north of 20KG i'd go for a well made aluminium bar, with a good connection point (clamp to the rails) too. The roof bars are good for 100KG of dynamic load, IIRC.

ebay is probably your best bet.

It depends on what you want to do with the car. If this is the last fault and the rest of the car is good, and your long term plan is to keep it until its dead - then its probably worth it. If you're not, you need to consider the cost of the next car and what potential issues that might have + costs. Then weigh up the 2 and see what's the best overall outcome.

Have you had the car from new? If not it is likely the previous owner removed them due to the issues.

Reading other posts on here that could be sign of the TC on its way.

Get it onto a local BMW indy for a 'health check' usually costs around £50 and they'll let you know anything they pick up on (and check what you've advised)

you could look at the MOT history, as that would show where it was MOT'd previously. And would give some indication as to the prev location it was registered in.

i don't have Ista-D. But my previous 7 pin wiring worked ok, i only got it changed as all my towing items are 13 pin.

13 pin wiring fitted today, got a good deal from a local company for dedicated wiring, fitting & 5 year warranty for £260.
