Engine runs rough at low rpm

BMW 1 Series 2010 118d 156000 miles
With minimal acceleration with revs between 1100 to 1500 the engine feels like it’s misfiring. Under normal acceleration it runs fine.

Parasitic draw

BMW 1 Series 2010 135i coupe n55B0 DCT 178125 miles
I seem to have a parasitic draw but can't track it down. I have to charge my battery everyday. Alternator is new, Earth strap is new, IBS is new, mulf was not working so disconnected it and completed the fibre optic loop. Removed led gloves, replaced fan blower resistor. No codes at the moment but I have had a water pump out of speed warning but hasn't come back after clearing the code so could have been because it's on the same line as the alternator... I can't keep going like this. Somebody please help. Note. It's 178k kms not miles

I may have solved it... Maybe. It appears to have been a module refusing to go to sleep (just like a child 🤣)
Also, I can't believe that after reading posts on the internet for hours and hours I finally asked the question of "what is the usual SOC..."
It turns out these AGM batteries in conjunction with the IBS like to float around 60-70% SOC. Granted, mine is currently floating a little lower but doesn't seem to have a problem starting and charges up quickly. I may have an intermittent fault on the BSD Line (water pump or oil level sensor) which brings down the network and stops the alternator from charging the battery. I have both parts here ready to replace when I get a day or two to get it done. For now I'm monitoring the battery etc and keeping my fingers crossed

Spia motore

Media screen stuck in a loop

BMW 1 Series 2014 F20 116i  85000 miles
The media screen has developed an issue where it loops from the BMW welcome screen to blank with no media or rear parking available

I've changed all fuses listed under media/screen etc with still no resolution

I'm fearing it's a deeper short circuit issue if anyone has any past experiences the same or similar?

Coolant gone SolvedSolved

BMW 1 Series 2006 120D 120kw m47 motor 100000 miles
Hi every 10 or so days I get low coolant fluid notification and it always is empty so I just keep filling it every 10 days. The hoses are ok, but I do have a engine cover and all cover for the underbody so I see no leaks neither under the hood or under car, it doesnt go away fast only like 10 or so days. What should I do or maybe someone has experienced something similar?

Aviso de troca de pastilhas de freio dianteiras 120i 1.5

BMW 1 Series 2020 1.5 power turbo  40000 miles
Troquei as pastilhas de freio conforme manutenção solicitada no painel e comprovação de desgaste no escritório, porém após a troca o aviso não foi possível ser removido mesmo após a troca de pastilhas e sensor. O mecânico disse que o carro está com defeito elétrico. O que pode ser ?

Warning lights

BMW 1 Series 2005  200 miles
I have these warning lights on every time I start the car. They reset after a while, but there’s no specific time — it can be 5 minutes, or sometimes they don’t reset the whole day. It doesn’t depend on the weather, whether it’s hot or cold. I’ve replaced the ABS sensor and the ABS ring. Can you help me figure out what it could be?
I should mention that while the warning lights are on, until they reset, I have no driver control over the windows, wipers, or sunroof.

Just out of curiosity have you plugged in your obd to clear the codes after your repair? I had these lights this weekend on my 2019 118i. Used a Bosch sensor
