My Ride: 535d e60 - 2005
Please help a Newbie (535d Auto- 2005)
Just got myself a 535d (2005) auto, having chopped in a 2001 Impreza WRX with 148k miles on.
First impressions are very good though 2 minor niggles;
1/ Heating does not seem very hot even at maximum (is this likely to be an issue with one of the thermostats?)
2/ There is a very slight "clunk" when transmission engages from standstill - Is that likely to develop into something eye-wateringly expensive?
It has no BT or NAV. NAV I don't care about but BT? Hmmmm, I need my tunes! What is the Forum's recommendation for a BT installation that integrates with the i-drive (available in the UK)?
I also don't have additional 12v sockets to the standard cigarette lighter - I like the hardwire tip to the rear-view mirror which I will use for the dash-cam and am currently exploring ways to add a few USB charge outlets.
Great forum guys!
