Start up

[HertsTif]

Had a friend who went to work in Qatar for a bit. The government SUBSIDISES petrol. It's cheaper than bottled water apparently

 

[JamieMac]

Don?t look up tax back in the 1970?s then. It?ll make your head exploded! J

 

[JamieMac]

I used to regularly work in the UAE. Yep, it?s cheaper than water. literally pennies.

Prices are only going to get worse once we start paying for the lockdown!

I typically use Tesco Momentum 99, purely for the points lol.
If not available then I use any premium, higher octane offering.

The cold start rough idle has been reported on the USA spec bikes. BrenTuning claim to have addressed it in their latest flash for the Gen 4. Hopefully BMW will release an update in the near future which rectifies it

Interesting, if there is a PUMA case then I'm wondering if they will recall all bikes or just fix the ones experiencing the problem?

Yes, lane assist is especially **** on the new 3 Series, for some reason it is improved on the 5 Series Touring we have and not had any trouble with it. But I know of a few people who have had trouble with the 3 Series.

Hopefully the software update has resolved your problem, keep us posted. Because if the PUMA case didn't resolve it, it may need to be escalated to ADIDAS! hehe

Doesn't it kick in only if you're not indicating? (I realise that's an extra feature on a Beemer)

i believe so, I was on dual carriageway with nothing behind so didn?t see the need to indicate, never the less it?s a strange experience having the car steer the opposite way from where you want to go

 

[alex]

Yeah I'm not a fan. If I want to weave, damn it I will lol

I'd turn it off too.

So bike is back, seems to be cured, new software update loaded, will check in the morning tho and see, but it seems the new update has it on a slightly higher amount of revs at first start up than before until it drops back to idle

[soofsayer]

Also wondering if it could be something to do with the ecu self learning, and on some bikes, in certain circumstances and certain fuel causes the issue by not learning correctly. Hopefully sorted now.

 

[Schuey]

Good news DCB, what is it showing as the software version now on screen?

 

[r25sti]

that cold start up high revs is a pain in the butt. lol....even when warn it takes a while to drop and by then ive had to bang it into gear. strange feature.lol

same a virta, he said it hadn?t fixed his startup issue.

 

[jvirta]

That update didn't fix the problem on my bike.... annoying.

 

[DCB]

Will check it in the morning as it will have been started a couple of times today, see if it has worked, although I am led to believe that update was one of 2 applied as there is a (don?t quote me) 510 software update which is specific to the start up thing?
