​@@kevinmcmanus7217hay, are you fix that, i have the same problem?

[@KevinJonesPlus]

This is awesome. The goal for me was that I unplugged my car to go on vacation. When I restarted the car 3.5 months later there was a battery discharge warning. Resetting the electronics fixes that. You need to press and hold that button obviously..but also you need to turn the button to the right to get to the next sub-menu sometimes.

Hi miro. Did it help?

[@TheLoneRanger1992]

hi mate i know this is nothing to do with video but just wondered if you knew anything about it basically when i’m on the motorway and going around 80mph my passenger window even though it’s all the way up seems to be getting a slight draft coming through from the top somewhere as you can hear it whilst driving like the window is barely open an there’s a gust but it’s not open at all

[@bossm5returns]

Happened to me in my coupe as well, it's a common issue in E92 series while going highspeed. I never really investigated this issue, try checking BMW forums!

[@quentindowney9897]

You should probably adjust your doors. It says in my Bentley book that the front and rear doors can be slightly misaligned from the factory and they were right. My front door was a quarter inch higher than my rear door where they meet. I recommend opening the door all the way, put a scissor jack under the middle of the door with a rag on top and crack the nuts loose on the door at the hinge. Then adjust the scissor jack up or down (whatever you need). Your window probably isn't sealing somewhere because of this. IF you don't think this is it then maybe check out the rubber trim piece at the base of the window and see if it is popping up anywhere. I replaced that too on mine and it quieted some wind noise.

[@robbieshaft]

Quentin Downey I wouldn’t recommend doing that to your car to be honest, my E92 has this problem too, and what can be done to fix it is you can actually adjust the door latch, open the door and you’ll need a torx to loosen the bolts on the latch, only loosen them slightly so the latch can move so it remains stable and try moving the latch in towards the car by a few mm. it could take a bit of adjusting to get right, but adjust it, close the door making sure it closes ok and then drive and see how it is and adjust more if need be

[@robbieshaft]

Also to clear up any confusion about the door latch in my previous comment.. when you open the door the latch that needs adjusting isn’t on the door it’s on the body of the car itself, it’s what the door latches on to. As some people might be looking on the actual door for latch adjustment which isn’t the right one

[@quentindowney9897]

Sounds like a faulty footwell module, my E87 did the same

[@TMediaPR]

FRM MODULE

[@HG-bl7ue]

Anthony Burciaga that’s your FRM module got fried. like the guy above said. I have the exact car and it was under some extended warranty. They have to run a test $150 and if the test reveals what you have everything is free and upgraded too. Out of warranty costs crazy like $1500 cuz they gotta program it to your vin too. Extended warranty by BMW cuz it’s a known issue, but it’s not life time so act ASAP. I had it done on 9/2019 All four windows wouldn’t go up and I had no turn signals not even hazards.
