They also (or at least mine do) automatically come on when you SHIFT in reverse. But I coded my, I didn't get them from factory

On a related note, that's interesting. Didn't know they would turn on when reversing. Not like it matters for me though, I don't have them anyways. |

When my GC proves that it can withstand the abuse that I can throw at it, I might give that comment a nod..but after 19yrs of beating on my GM, 150 1/4 mile track passes, mods, WOT blasts, burnouts, ..you know..FUN..the thing still runs like a beast and doesn't burn oil. Leak a little, maybe ..but it doesn't burn it. This thing is 'Like a Rock'. I haven't even cracked the valve covers on the car. EVER. Parts replacement..of course, the most being a new transmission after 15yrs of abuse. It's not likely I'll beat on my BMW this bad..but there certainly are GM products out there that are worthwhile.

The rest of the car..not very high tech like the Bimmer...but I'm comparing a 1996 to a 2015 so it's expected. That said, I'd certainly buy another BMW 'something' in the future.

God, I love the internet. I experienced this "feature" last night pulling into a parking space in front of a convenience store with reflective windows. I panicked as I swore there was something wrong with my 2 week old (to me) X1. Having come over from Audi world and the fun of constantly dealing with electrical issues, I was very relieved to find this thread.

I know this is an old thread but, I've had my car for about 2 months now and it seems like every day I learn something new. I seriously thought I had a fog light out. Nope, just the car doing what it is supposed to do.

Last night pulling out of the garage (turned the wheel at low speed) my wife was like, "you have a fog light out." She was bending over looking at them and I moved the wheels back and forth and she was amazed (doesn't take much). Thought for the longest time when I first got the car that I had one intermittently out.

This has been so annoying for me as well.. I got pulled over because a cop thought I had a missing fog light and I had to explain to him that's just the way the car is.. smh

I had the same scare after I got my F32 and looked at the reflection of only one fog light being lit up, I thought there was some fault but soon found out it's a feature, aids in corners especially during parking(low speeds)

What if you did have a fog light out? How is it illegal to have a light out that isn't required in the first place? Was it the end of the month?

Tires are irrelevant to the car, obviously. And there are plenty of motor oils and washer fluids you can buy. I do most of my own work and I find that many OEM BMW fluids are competitively priced to aftermarket stuff. I buy European formula Castrol and I know of at least three different motor oils you can buy at Walmart that are fully compatible and supported by BMW. If you find a good independent shop or do your own work, and do regular maintenance, owning a BMW really isn't that bad. |
