2006 BMW 750Li Questions & Answers
2006 BMW 750 Li My dynamic drive inactive light came on, then a generator fault light came on
BMW has been using electronically controlled automatic transmissions in most models since the late 80s. These transmission systems employ a transmission control unit which controls electrical solenoids to manipulate the various control and shift valves and functions in the transmission valve body. When the transmission control unit detects a problem that it thinks could be damaging to the transmission or engine, it goes into a fail-safe or limp mode. In this mode, the transmission will function in reverse normally, but in forward it will operate in only one gear (whether you have the shifter in D, or any of the lower gears). This will typically be 3rd or 4th gear, depending on the model. It will start in this gear and stay in this gear with no shifting. You would experience this as sluggish acceleration and higher than normal engine speed at about 40 mph and above.
If you must drive the vehicle when the transmission is in the fail safe mode, accelerate gently and keep the road speed lower than full highway speed.
Earlier models do not employ fault codes and must be diagnosed manually. Late models do employ fault codes and a diagnostic/scan machine can be used to check and read the faults to assist in diagnostics. Note that this is not your common OBDII engine management fault code tool. This is what A BMW dealer or a properly equipped independent shop would have for full vehicle system diagnostics and coding operations.
How do i add transmission fluid to my 2006 750Li?
Typically you pour it down the tranmsission's dip stick tube.) Use an appropriate funnel for the purpose. Be sure to follow the instructions in the owner's manual for how to measure transmission fluid level before you proceed. Normally you should not have to add fluid as it is not consumed.
2006 750li passenger defrost not working
BMW defroster works on vacumm so if you have air blowing from the dash vents when the seclector is on A/C and when on bi-leval the air comes out of the dash vents and the floor vents then you have a vacumm leak most likely a vacumm hose is off, Or due to the age of the car the engine heat causes the hoses to crack and break. the BMW V-8 engine has a problem with the rubber holder for the PCV valves cracking and leaking that causes very low vacumm pressure also check all of the vacumm lines that go through the fire wall most likely your problem is just a disconnected or broken vacumm hose or the PCV valve holders.

How much for tune up on bmw 750li
How would this website know that? Go ask you nearest garage, then ask the dealer for a comparison quote. Guess which one is cheaper. Check whether its pattern or genuine parts used. Nothing wrong with pattern if they are a known branded make. If you mean a full engine service with genuine parts expect $300
Bmw troubleshoot
Has anyone been inside the door panel recently? If so it is possible they did not plug the actuator connector back up. using a pencil, try to engage the latch and lock it. Does it lock? Does it release when you pull the inside or outside handle? The latches can internally fail without notice. It is possible the actuator is frozen. If it is it will need to be replaced.
