2004 bmw x5 is stuck in 4 wheel drive
Hello. It seems your B.M.W.'s PCM (Powertrain Control Module), inadvertently, 'engaged' 4WD on it's own; without your knowledge. Disconnect your Beemer's battery and wait 10-15 minutes then reconnect it. Start engine and drive your Beemer somewhere. If it stays in 4WD, then, another 'reboot' has to be done. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

7 Series. How can I remove stuck ignition key?
Install a fully charged battery. Put on the parking brake and see if the key can be removed. If you need further help, please specify year and exact model. A VIN number would be helpful.

2004 BMW x3 won't attempt to start...
Mr Goforth. I just read your question.
what you have scanned fault codes have nothing to do with your today issue. Since you tried starting the car by jumping the battery tapping the starter motor with negative results, I advice you to check whether you might face : a) not clean to contact battery terminals, b) no good Earthing wiring, c) Ignition Fuse or Relay blown, d) Ignition switch lock not working. Good Luck.

Help Please ...2004 bmw x3 the eml light the brake light and the 4x4 light come and the vehicle dies in traffic
Read out the error Codes ( poss. 2750 and/or 2751 ?).
It could well be that the throttlebody or maybe cables/plug connection is causing this problem and the 4x4 as the dsc may also be disrupted (error Code 5f1d ?) if the throttlebody function is defective. Try cleaning it & check all its electricals are good. Clear the faults and test drive. If you're still getting transferbox problems, check the actuator/plastic gear and maybe change the transferbox oil AND reset the adaptions.
Hope this helps

I have a 2006 BMW 5 Series 530i 4d sedan, how can we adjust the idle speedrpm
Your engine is controlled by the PCM. The idle can be adjusted by entering the computer system using INPA with a K+DCan cable, or the BMW diagnostic system. If by chance it's too high, look for a vacuum leak. Generally speaking if you are careful, you can use a can of carb cleaner (carefully) by spraying a small amount at a time near the vacuum hoses and the intake manifold of a vehicle to find the leak. As the carb cleaner is drawn into the engine the car will change idle speed to help you zero in on any leaks. Too low then there must be a fuel/air issue and you should have a code present. Good luck:)
