HUD help (F10 M5)

[Singh911]

Got my car back from its visit to the dealer to cure vibration through the steering which i was getting from 50mph to 40mph. Only at those speeds. V odd. They've cured it, at considerable cost - new alloys, new wishbones, wheel bearings, control arms and bushes, geometry and general software update.

Every time i start the car i find that the hud has reset itself to the standard display. I prefer the M drive display (where the revs and gear and speed are displayed). The car used to remember my selection and always displayed that when i started the car. Now, if i drive around with M view, turn the car off and go back to it later to start it, the hud has reverted back to standard display. Driving me nuts resetting it each time. Do i need to do something to get it to remember how i like it?

cheers

That makes sense but mine used to remember the mode it was in when the car was last used. Now it doesnt remember it and goes back to default. Maybe the software update eradicated this anomaly which i quite liked and thought was normal.

Yes its a July 12 car. Don't like the updated software!

All the work was under warranty. forgot to add new front discs and pads too - three times as the first two times didn't solve it.

I think that's right. They were largely clueless. It wasn't my place to say but i told them the second time they replaced the brake pads and discs that i didnt think it was these at fault. They were being directed by their techincal guys in Germany i'm told.

All told they changed the pads and discs three times. They changed the fan belt (??). Then got on to the suspension bits. I suspect it was electrical because it only happened on braking from 50 to 40; at higher speeds or lower speeds all was fine. Only done 16k miles.

I got to try a variey of loan cars in the 3 weeks they took in all. I don't mind the front end has a stack of new parts and a new set of alloys to boot.

My service adviser told me that the work would have cost £11500 retail. !
