Yep, sounds like the module. The module in my E46 330d died, so I just disconnected it.
For the water ingress, I’d check the rear light seals, vents behind the bumpers, sunroof drains (if fitted), and the rear washer tube if it smells like screenwash.
What I’d also do to check for leaks is strip out the boot carpet, get into the boot and run the hose over it.
I had a PDC problem on my E46, and I remember that when you put it in reverse, you got a continuous beep (maybe only initially), as some kind of warning that there was a fault. However, I've got no beeps, nothing on the iDrive screen and no warnings. Just dead - unless it's temporarily working, in which case it works fine - but only for a few minutes. £12 for a tested used module, so that's got to be worth a try.For the water ingress, I’d check the rear light seals, vents behind the bumpers, sunroof drains (if fitted), and the rear washer tube if it smells like screenwash.

Water was just water I think... no odour/colour. Will remove the rear light fitting and clean the seals.
Quite a spec on that, both in terms of factory options and the upgrades fitted. No mention of power output but it must be pretty punchy with hybrid turbos fitted.
It looks a bit "Barry" for my taste, but with the exterior returned to stock that would be a lovely machine and quite a sleeper.

It’s fairly chavved up and overpriced. No LSD which would have been more useful than some of the modifications.It looks a bit "Barry" for my taste, but with the exterior returned to stock that would be a lovely machine and quite a sleeper.
Anyone on the lookout for a manual N52 touring and feeling brave?
Le Mans Blue M-Sport too... although as far as I can tell the only option it has is the old CCC Pro Nav.

Seeing that 23mpg on the fuel computer reminded me of how thirsty mine was for the performance. You don't get a great performance/economy mix with the 330i that is for sure. For example the F82 M4 I have now is doing 29mpg in comparison to the 26mpg that I got in the 330i.

Really?! I only ordered one a few months ago. Sounds like I got lucky if true!
It’s true! I just tried to buy one. On the E46 you could replace the centre of the badge with a wheel centre badge. Maybe it’s possible on the E91.helix402 said:
Tailgate BMW badge-NLA. My 2 year old one is falling apart already!
Damn, really? Following my argument with BMW about my bubbly badge (no result), my wife was thinking of dropping by a dealer with the car on the way somewhere else for this so-called "warranty inspection".Edited by MajorMantra on Wednesday 10th April 22:20

Mine is bubbling too. It seems some of the current replacement BMW parts are not as well made as the factory fitted parts. I’ve found an EBay seller and ordered a non gen. tailgate badge. helix402 said:

You managed to find an E91-sized one? When I last looked they didn't seem to exist in the aftermarket, as they're a unique size.Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
