  1. The car is a Superspec, so a portion of the suspension would have been assembled at the RH factory prior to sale; therefore, you cannot fault him unless the original fabricator altered the design. Having said that, I have just been beneath mine and am unable to relate it to the image. Is it the front or back fastener of the lower wishbone (which, on my Superspec, is attached to the cross-box that houses the steering rack)?
  2. One of the historical defects that caused my red pressure indicator to illuminate at a fairly consistent time/distance (even after the chain and guides were replaced) was the oil pump's balance shafts. This may or may not be related to your issue, but it could have been a contributing factor, as deterioration like that must be attributable to inadequate lubrication at the very least. My warranty replaced the pump entirely, and I've never had a problem with it again.
  3. I would suggest purchasing a K+DCAN cable from eBay and using it in conjunction with specialised software such as INPA to diagnose and reset faults. BMWs may occasionally register errors, even if they are not permanent. They could be electrical flaws that require resetting/erasing.

  5. If it were me, I'd always look for the CPU with the greatest specifications and the maximum amount of memory since, just like with a computer or a laptop, you want the gadget to work swiftly and smoothly. When I link my vehicle to my smartphone via CarPlay, I utilise the built-in radio applications on my iPhone to listen to live streaming radio. I also have a 4G SIM card in my unit, however you can't use the Wi-Fi in the unit with the data sim at the same time if you have car play going. This is because car play connects to BT via an app called z-link, which utilises the Wi-Fi mode. No one tells you this. I found this out the hard way.
  6. I got a droid unit from droiduk and put it in. This works with the standard mic that came with the car. You can also use a 3.5mm jack to connect an extra mic, which is what I've done. I found an original BMW mic for a good price, attached a 3.5mm jack plug to it, and then put it in. Since my car is a convertible, I put the second microphone right next to the first one in the steering hood. It works well, but the mic sound on phone calls is a little low, but I can still be heard.
