Re: BMW X5 E53 2005 4.4 DME Combustion error - rough idling
So today I've deleted all the errors and started the car again, reading all the errors in ISTA+
Here's a video with the error and the engine strangely sounding very bad on the driver side alone, like there's no oil. Oil level is fine.

BMW X5 E53 2005 4.4 DME Combustion error - rough idling
Hi guys,
Been having problems with the X5 lately. It's running rough from the start and EML comes on flashing. iDiag shows "DME: Combustion" error, with codes: 29CC, 29CE, 29CD, 29DO, 29CF, 29D3 29D4, 29D2, 29D1.

Re: X5 4.4i 2005 - new or recon engine needed
Engine still running fine, over 1 year now. :)
I now have some random not starting problems. I've replaced the batteries in the keys. INPA and iDiag sometime show DME and EWS not in synch: "EWS preventing manipulation". If I leave the car for a few minutes or hours it starts fine.
I'm considering ...

Re: New Alternator needed :(
In the same situation, will be ordering a new alternator on eBay and try doing the job myself on the driveway. Any tips from when your mechanic did it? :'(

Re: X5 4.4i 2005 - new or recon engine needed
Picked up the car few weeks ago, all working perfectly fine, no more engine rattling, no more high oil consumption, done about 300 miles so far.
I'll be changing oil and filter at 600 miles, again in another 1000 miles and again in another 1000 miles. Then I can revert to normal.
