I took the M5 to work yesterday. It seemed to be running a little cool in the morning but no errors. Then shortly after leaving to come home it did the same as before with the "temperature too high", -128° coolant temp reading, and the cooling fan running full speed. On clearing the error codes the ...

BMW have had "Active Sound Design" (ASD) for years, my M5 has it. All the different engines are included in the firmware and you can code in (or out) whichever you want with E-Sys. So I'm going to assume that some enterprising individuals will figure out how to activate the Merc V8 noises quite ...

I’ve fancied one of those for quite a while. And by a funny coincidence we saw my wife’s aunt & uncle last week who we’ve not seen in *ages* and they used to have one. I happened to ask about it - they don’t have it any more but he was quite wistful about it.

$250k is the new deposit, not the one ten years ago ?

I think it's allowed if it's an emergency and the distance is not excessive. With "emergency" and "excessive" not actually being defined anywhere.

Similar to the way towing dollies aren't legal for transporting cars, but the AA/RAC etc. are able to use them as moving a broken-down car away from ...

My wife’s ID.3 is doing that. After 44k miles and nearly 6 years old. I’m not very impressed with it.

And now he’s “paused” the sanctions on Russia.

Pervert Lawyer Gets Off On Technicality

Musk is 100% on board with it, this is just some attempt at damage control as he realises it’s speeding up every government outside the US ditching his product.

Yeah. No. I don’t think it’s really running at -128° :lol:

Turned it off & back on, and it was all fine. Weird.

Buffer overflow (the -128 - it'll probably be a signed 8bit integer, -128 to 127) caused by a short most likely.

Could be when you were elbow deep in it that a loom got pinched ...

Have you ever just left it on a trickle charger for a few days ?

Funnily enough, yes, I have. I've mostly been using the 1-Series for work so it's been sat quite a lot and I've been making a point of putting it on trickle charge overnight once every couple of weeks to be on the safe side. It's ...

He is the puppet. He's just too stupid to realise it.

Whatever happened to US paranoia over anything to do with Russia and/or communism.

L'il donny has been owned by Russia since the eighties - this is well documented - and Putin is not a communist, not in the slightest !

Much more concerningly, the US has stopped giving Ukraine advance warning of incoming ballistic missiles from Russia, and Starlink was turned off for anything moving over 100mph (other figures quoted too, but the outcome is to cripple Ukraine’s attack drones).

I took the M5 to run a short errand last night and a couple of miles down the road got a warning the engine temperature was too high. Cooling fan was running at full pelt. Even though the gauge on the dash had not even moved yet. The “secret” menu revealed:
