1989 BMW 6 Series Questions & Answers
Timing belt removal and putting the car back into
The BMW M30 6-cyinder engine does not use a timing belt. This engine uses a standard timing chain. To time the crank and cam; There is a timing pointer on the lower timing cover at about the 12-o'clock position (imagine the engine being straight up, not laid over toward the passenger side). This lines up with the mark on the vibration damper that is marked O/T. For the cam gear; position the gear so that the gear to cam alignment dowel is at about 7 to 8-o'clock (again, imagine that the engine is straight up/down). At this point, the four bolts should be positioned at 12, 3, 6 and 9-o'clock. The 9 and 3 bolts should be perfectly parallel with the upper surface of the cylinder head and te 12 and 6 bolts should make a straight line right down through the center of the crankshaft.
Problems with X6 5.0 2010
It is not normal on any car.
A week is too long for a major current drain, so it has to be something small. A small courtesy light bulb in a storage compartment that is failing to turn off?
Have you added any audio accessories? (amps, DVD players, etc) Sometimes aftermarket accessories have nasty drains and have to be unplugged when the car will be parked for an extended period (months) but if one is draining your battery in a week, it is defective.
The last suspect is computers. This car has multiple computers on it that are supposed to go into sleep mode a few minutes after you shut off the car. Perhaps one of them is not going to sleep? That would not be as tough to diagnose as you might think. You put an ammeter in line with the battery and watch the current flow. It will be high at first, and then drop off after 5 minutes or so. If it is more than 50 mA or so, it is too much, so you start pulling fuses and disconnecting things until the current drain drops down below 50 mA.
On a 2010 X6, you are probably going to have to reprogram a lot of stuff after disconnecting the battery to diagnose this problem.

How can I get the HDC to turn off in my 2002 bmw x5?
To turn off HDC on a BMW, all you have to do is press the HDC button located on the center console. The button will have an image of a vehicle going downhill with a speedometer above it, and you'll know it's off if there are no lights illuminated above it. If you ever want to turn the system on again, just press the button again.
2003 BMW X5 4.4 no crank no start
Check the basics first. Is battery fully charged? This is the most common reason for a no crank, no start. What exactly does it do when you turn the key? Nothing at all, no lights, no 'click' as you turn the key. A slow lazy crank?
