Bristol based owner 2006 3.0si facelift

Post by jitterbugm » Fri Oct 19, 2018 5:58 pm

Hi All,

Just become the new owner of a 2006 BMW 3.0si and found my car is in transport mode... I am in Bristol if anyone has the kit to reset this? if not I will have to book it in with a main dealer or independant next week. Very frustrating as lots of functions are not working.


Thanks
Mike

Hi and welcome. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear of your problem - if only BMW dealers did the PDI properly and deleted it instead of just turning it off. :headbang:

I hope you can get it sorted painlessly. :thumbsup:

And don't forget we like to see photos. :)

You’re going to need someone that has INPA software on a laptop and some idea of what they are doing to fix your transport mode issue.
