I now have a relatively low mileage 53 plate 3.0 petrol sport which drives like a dream. I couldn't have been happier. Five days on, then, for no apparent reason, the radio and CD function just disappeared from the computer screen, even though the SatNav works fine. I noticed that the small led light near to the left side knob is no longer illuminated but clearly there is still power to the unit. Additionally the 'voice' on the Sat Nav no longer talks to me albeit the directions and mapping are fine. Has this happened to anybody else? Is this a common fault? Can anybody help? As I have just about spent every penny on the car, if its going to be an expensive fix can you please break it to me gently !

Thanks

I am looking at buying a replacement and I had a question. The multi function wheels are coming in about £100 but I noticed you can buy just the multifunction panels as well. Would this mean that I could buy a normal wheel for a lot less without the multifunction buttons, pop the panel off and replace it with my multifunction one? Just to note mine is the 3 spoke variety with round centre cap and split bottom spoke.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 09:41:12 +0000 http://www.bmwownersclub.com/forums/index.php/topic/7890-steering-wheel-replacement/ http://www.bmwownersclub.com/forums/index.php/topic/7887-possible-cause-of-power-loss/ hi all just been out to fit my simota and what a lovely fit considerin it was for an e36 m3!!! anyway whilst taking the airbox out i noticed i have a split hose! after the maf theres a hose then joiner then hose with a ribbed elbow about 30 to 40 dia, well the elbow itself has split big time! just wondered if this was the cause of some power loss?? i know that the weather and pressure gives cars there good days and bad days mainly turboed motors but some days it feels like a slug!! also whilst decelleratin i can hear a faint noise like some one taking a gasp of air?? any help would be great cheers!!
