Are you finally getting one? I'm wondering if these buttons are suitable for both switches with and without automatic start/stop function (model year before/after 2011).)

| nineteen19 (288hp) | Quote: Originally written by TZ Are you finally getting one? I'm wondering if these buttons fit both switches with and without automatic start/stop function (model year before/after 2011). I seriously doubt any variant would work for both. Either there are special cutouts in one design and additional tabs in the other that would prevent a proper fit for two different applications.

I'm wondering if these buttons are suitable for both switches with and without automatic start/stop function (model year before/after 2011). I haven't done it yet. I just bought tires and brakes, so I'll probably wait until after the holidays. If you look at the links, there are different buttons for cars with and without auto start/stop.

I think it's easier on an F10 than in the video posted. Check out the 11 second mark of this video. It seems like all you have to do is remove the wooden panel and attach the button to it.

| 3737 (528hp) | I would take it a step further and add customer text on it. Many people have the same mods on their car...make your car a little different. When I built my Z I had some custom fender emblems made. OEM is looking if possible. The production models only had “Z”. The ones I made had the Z moved up a bit and a twin turbo fitted underneath. It wouldn't be hard to do something via a start button. I had to make an edition of 10 pairs to make it cheap enough. Otherwise there would have been a sentence $600.

| qwedcxz (222hp) | The black START-STOP ENGINE button on my 2013 128i was broken, so I ordered a replacement. They come in several colors, but I like the black. I replaced it today and was surprised at how easy it was - with a few proper tools. Using a firm trim remover with a rounded triangular tip, I pushed it under the switch bezel and carefully pried it away from the dash. It came out about 1/8. I moved the tool to the opposite side of the panel, pushed it in and out popped the entire switch out of the dash. I unplugged the connector and brought the entire assembly in. Using a Spunger tool, those little plastic pieces we use to disassemble computer keyboards, etc., I removed the steel-looking bezel from the switch assembly. To do this, the assembly was turned from bottom to top and each of the four tabs on the panel was carefully levered away from the switch. Only about 1mm of displacement is required for them to come loose. Be gentle. Without the bezel in place, it's easy to see the button's four tabs, which also need to be carefully pushed out of their holders. When that's done, the button pops off, bounces off the floor and lands under your table or desk. Assembly is like putting together kindergarten toys. Carefully snap the new button into the switch, paying attention to the position of the alignment tab. The bezel easily snaps back into place on the switch, also with an alignment tab. Wiggle the connector back onto the switch, line up the switch in the hole in the dash - with the label "right side up" facing up - and push it into the hole. It took twice as long to type as it did. Good luck, kids.

Edit: If you're asking about retrofitting it into a car that doesn't have this type of radiator from the factory, I don't see a problem as long as you get the correct parts to retrofit it, as is the case with the vehicles that come standard with this type of radiator are.

| nike11 (44hp) | I have been using two Deltran battery tenders for over 10 years - one for lead acid and one for gel cells. So a Deltran tender is a maintainer. Other good brands are CTEK and Schumacher. Five weeks – nothing else was really needed, except perhaps protection from rodents. So the lead acid in my 08 128 is still original (12 years old - always stored in winter). My wife's 10 Audi TT is an AGM and still has the original battery (10 years old - stored in winter).)

| adriana123 (892hp) | It is not necessary to run the heater to eliminate condensation/moisture in the HVAC system. If it is humid/hot and you turn on the air conditioning just before parking the garage for the 5 week sabbatical, simply run the instant parking ventilation function in iDrive (under CLIMATE). This little feature lets the HVAC fan run for up to 30 minutes without the key or ignition on...and helps evaporate condensation/moisture that creates a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. The product of this love bed is the strange smell that many owners smell when they turn on the air conditioning for the first time. Again, the Instant Parked Car Ventilation feature can help clear the HVAC system of any condensation/moisture residue that results from running the car on a hot/sultry day and then leaving the car in a dark/hot place without (or with very little) air is shut off traffic. Below are examples of screenshots showing what you should pay attention to. The first image is a screenshot if you have the CIC iDrive. The second image is a screenshot if you have the NBT iDrive. If you have NBT/EVO (ID5/ID6) it is similar and I believe is still found under CLIMATE settings in iDrive. To implement this function, the engine CANNOT run. I know that on the CIC and early NBT version the START button must be on but the engine must not be running to initiate the immediate venting feature.

| willow11 (847hp) | Quote: Originally written by RJV3. I ordered one on eBay and it only came with the engine start-stop button. I like the black crystal start stop button for the engine and am looking for the matching gloss black off button, if it doesn't come with the auto/start/stop button then you don't have it in the diagram ordered the correct switch (#3). You must have ordered #1 or #2 in the picture below. Do you buy based on looks alone... or do you buy based on the correct 11-digit BMW Prat number for your car? I posted a direct link to the parts database where you can find the 11 digit BMW part number for item #3...that's what you need to purchase. I have no idea about a crystal start stop engine button. If you are referring to one from a newer G-series BMW, search for the part number again and then run it using the part number search function on the parts database page to see what other BMW models use this button. Just because another BMW uses a crystal button doesn't mean it will work/fit your car. If you are referring to aftermarket switches/knobs, make sure they reveal which BMW models they are suitable for. For example, the button for my F06 and your 5 Series is number 3 in the first picture below...but my F15 X5 uses a switch that looks similar (number 1 in the second picture below)...but the part and part number are completely different and is not compatible with the one used in the 5 and 6 series. {5/6/7 f10/f06/f01 series switch} {X5/X6 F15/F16 switch}

You must have ordered #1 or #2 in the picture below. Do you buy based on looks alone... or do you buy based on the correct 11-digit BMW Prat number for your car? I posted a direct link to the parts database where you can find the 11 digit BMW part number for item #3...that's what you need to purchase. I have no idea about a crystal start stop engine button. If you are referring to one from a newer G-series BMW, search for the part number again and then run it using the part number search function on the parts database page to see what other BMW models use this button. Just because another BMW uses a crystal button doesn't mean it's suitable for your car. If you are referring to aftermarket switches/knobs, make sure they reveal which BMW models they are suitable for. For example, the button for my F06 and your 5 Series is number 3 in the first picture below...but my F15 X5 uses a switch that looks similar (number 1 in the second picture below)...but the part and part number are completely different and is not compatible with the one used in the 5 and 6 series. {5/6/7 F10/F06/F01 series switch} {X5/X6 F15/F16 switch} I'm looking for the aftermarket switch rather than an original replacement. For an original replacement I would definitely use a genuine OEM.

| effie (437hp) | 100% Apparently the image doesn't work. This part comes from the entry cover between the A and B pillars.

| QWERTYUI (534hp) | Mine occurred three times. The last update was about a month ago when the retailer received a new update from Germany to fix this issue. So far, so good. Maybe you can go back to the retailer to get the latest patch.

My start stop button is pretty worn out so I wanted to replace it with this: [URL=https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Start-Stop-Engine-Button-Switch-Cover-For-BMW -5-6-7-F01-F02-F10F11-2009-2013/172716218603?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid =p2055119.m1438.l2649] I've always liked the S2000's red start button, but I thought this would don't look like that place in an F10. I went back later and thought it looked pretty good. The next day I thought again it might be too much. So I want to get opinions? Too much? A neat sporty touch? The main problem I've encountered with aftermarket replacement knobs is that they get stuck. They have to be manufactured to very strict tolerances, which is usually not the case. After a week of having a plain red start/stop button, I got tired of it constantly sticking, so I installed the original button and bought a stick-on carbon fiber button that looks great and doesn't stick (and that Of course he is too). also easier to install). See images below for both

| vfvekmrf (116hp) | A few weeks after my car was in the shop, I noticed a piece of plastic in the storage compartment of my door. I managed to identify it as a plastic retaining clip, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where it came from and the store says they don't know anything about it (what a surprise). Can anyone help me, I took a few pictures of the clip and the broken piece of plastic.

| justin (83hp) | Quote: Originally written by RJV3. Does anyone know where to get a replacement off button? The one under the engine start button? Pull up the start/stop button switch in one of the online parts databases, then enter the 11-digit BMW part number into a Google search box to find suppliers that sell the part. For example, enter BMW xx xx x xxx xxx (where x = the actual number found) into a Google/Internet search box. Good luck. By the way, if you don't know about any online parts database sites...here are some: www.realoem.com http://bimmercat.com www.bmwfans.info https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/Search/... 5i/USA/61_2990

| andalucia (632hp) | Quote: Originally posted by Dan944 What work did the workshop do? Did any panels need to be removed? Funnily enough, the car was there for a wheel alignment! I had my car washed at a car wash last week, so I can't say for sure that this was done at the shop.

| rusty5 (699hp) | I had this condition after service at BMW Palm Springs yesterday. Disconnect both cables from the battery for 30 minutes, reconnect, turn on the vehicle in accessory mode, reset the date when prompted, worked perfectly

| alexis96 (785hp) | Thanks for the info, I looked through the assembly plans but couldn't find anything similar to the plastic part that broke off and the door panels and sills appear to be intact on my car.

| onedirecti (880hp) | I'm currently at the dealer with this issue and they are updating the software. I still have less than 50,000 miles and am covered under warranty. So I hope this problem doesn't happen again. I will look into Route 66 or Easy Care for an extended warranty.
