Car Forums BMW
There is a problem with certain BMW vehicles in which the locking direction is sticky, it is an electronic function and hit cars with the 325i M Sport.
The problem arises when you insert the key and prepare to use the start button, the dashboard is illuminated with red when the pilot symbol and the start button is disabled.
This happened to me several times a day for several days and at the end I found myself in Brighton, after I stopped at the post office to ask for directions, I am returned to my car and took the malfunction occurred. To my horror repeated attempts to start the car failed and the distance I saw a wheel clamping van attach a clamp to a vehicle parked just like me.
I opened the door and to my horror, I realized that I was parked on a clamping area and it seemed that the radar had spotted me clip. I quickly jumped out of my hat how to look as if I was visually on a break but feel the eyes of a truly dedicated clamping burning in me by far.
I was late for an important meeting and I was already thinking how the day was left, I had to think fast, because I felt vulnerable and knew clampers just love to stop the smart sports cars. I looked furtively under my hat and I saw he suddenly went into action.
I was horrified, I saw that I was going to be the next victim, in haste I jumped back in my car, I disconnected several times and re-engaged the key trying to stimulate a kind of electronic push-button start, but the locking mechanism Management pulled in. How would I explain this to the meeting, thats if I ever got, of course, so I looked up and our eyes met, he had finished and was just sticking the label on the screen of the other car.
In desperation, I jumped back of the car and slammed the hood down, so to pretend that I was ready to go and maybe he would just hunt. I remembered a program nature where the mother bird was feigning injury to draw the predator away from its nest! If only I had a disabled badge I thought I saw the truck about to turn around with flashing lights.
I took my phone out and prepared to appeal the cancellation of the meeting and also won the BMW save me from hell emergency number from the manual. I could see the look of joy on his face, a comforting smile of self satisfaction is spread from one ear to another and I thank you its been about to be nailed down and become another statistic.
Bloody BMW I told myself, why am I never buy a BMW?
Why did I buy it?
Why did not I go to the dealer and have it to sort when I lucky?
Why is this happening to me?
Unconsciously, I continued pressing the top and playing with the key then suddenly the car started! But to my horror my reflex action by constantly pushing the start, he pushed and killed the engine! Argh! A good number of curses followed, the clamping parked beside me, taking his time and savor every moment he was a connoisseur of the moment lamb in captivity awaiting shipment.
I waited and composed myself, I went through everything and care pushed the start last time I looked, this guy clamp had black teeth and big earrings, tattoos and muscle, the dirty fingernails and greasy hair.
He gave me a cold smile and then he suddenly changed, as an executioner falling through thin ice changed his smile to a look of despair. The engine was running, yes! Yes! Yes! You beauty, I love you because I Love You BMW! Life is great oh so great, oh yes, clutch in the gear in, 2.5 fuel injected and racing horses released, I let the window down ready jubilation, nothing can stop me now!
I stuck his head out ready to give the losing signal to my abuser, why can not you find a real job, and just because I have a nice car, the lines are running through my head when his deep voice booming, you alright mate? Just got my jump leads in case you need a start, nice car by the way, I just traded mine in an M3 always had German cars, the only love engineering!
I stammered, bowed his head and smiled before saying, thank you for coming over, I thought you had a friendly face, but I think my car is fine now, so I started looking back in my mirror I'm sure I could see an expression of You got away, but I will next time Sonny!
I reflect on this event after the meeting and realized that owning a nice car can change your perception of other people and situations, it can make you a little Aroga and can generate a state of mind when you are convinced everyone is there to catch you.
Of course this is not the case ... Or is it?
