The recommended tire pressure for the 2009 BMW 650i Convertible is typically 32 psi for the front tires and 35 psi for the rear tires. However, it's always best to check the sticker inside the driver's door for precise information.
To reset the service light on your BMW 650i Convertible, turn the ignition key to the 'on' position without starting the engine. Press and hold the odometer reset button. When the service prompt appears, release and quickly press the button again. Hold until the display shows 'Reset' and confirm by pressing the button once more.
The 2009 BMW 650i Convertible should use synthetic oil with a viscosity of 5W-30 that meets BMW Longlife-01 specifications. Regular oil level checks and changes are essential for optimal engine performance.
If the convertible top is not functioning, check the trunk partition to ensure it's properly closed, as the top won't operate if it's open. Also, inspect the hydraulic fluid level and fuses. If these are fine, a diagnostic scan might be needed to check for electrical issues.
To replace the battery, remove the cover in the trunk, disconnect the negative terminal followed by the positive terminal, then remove the securing bracket. Replace with a new battery, connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative, and secure the bracket. Ensure the battery is registered with the vehicle's computer system using a diagnostic tool.
To pair your phone, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the vehicle and phone. Select 'Bluetooth' from the vehicle's iDrive menu, then 'Add new device'. Select the BMW option on your phone and enter the passkey displayed on the car's screen to complete pairing.
A rough idle could be due to several issues such as dirty fuel injectors, a faulty mass airflow sensor, or worn spark plugs. Start by cleaning the fuel injectors and checking the air filters. If the problem persists, have the vehicle's diagnostic codes read for further troubleshooting.
Though BMW claims their transmission fluid is 'lifetime', it is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 miles for optimal performance and longevity of the transmission components.
To jump-start the vehicle, connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then to the positive terminal of the booster battery. Connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery, and finally to a metal ground on the vehicle with the dead battery. Start the booster vehicle first, then attempt to start the BMW.
If the navigation system is not working, try resetting the iDrive system by holding the volume control knob for about 30 seconds. Ensure the navigation DVD is clean and free of scratches. If issues persist, a software update or professional diagnostic may be required.
