It could either be the flex disc or drive shaft center bearing. I had the same problem on my 98 Z3 and I replaced both and it took care of the problem.

e60 525i that I just brought and it has the same problem, the owners manual suggests driving with the key in the ignition for a long time as the batteries are rechargable and may have gone flat, i have tried this and it doesnt seem to worki also read something about getting water in the aerial about the rear window and that wrecks the receiever. My car isn;t under warranty so not looking forwarding to taking it to bmw

There is no one fix works on this O2 sensor codeP0170 - Fuel Trim Malfunction Bank 1Possible causes- Intake air leaks- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor- Ignition misfiring- Faulty fuel injectors- Exhaust gas leaks- Incorrect fuel pressure- Lack of fuel- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection

p1188 is fuel pump and p0170 is same problem but with air flow sounds like drawing in too much air and not much fuel. pump might be shot. hope this helps

The adjusting lever for seat position is not locking into place. On the bottom of seat are runners on each side with holes in them that the adjusting lever tabs will lock in and hold seat in place. The seat slides on the runners if those tabs are raised. There is also a connecting wire or rod from the lever to the other side of seat so when lever is pulled up, tabs on both runners are raised for seat to slide. Something is keeping the tabs from locking into the holes on the runners in your car. Maybe the adjusting lever is broken somewhere, or the wire/rod came loose, or the lever is just dry and sticky and needs a shot of WD40 to loosen it up. If you can't see it and fix it with seat in place, then pull the seat back off for the repair. Good luck. Post back if my explanatiopn is not clear or you still need help.

Under the boot of the park brake handle are 2 nuts on rods, tighten them clockwise until the brake starts to engage at the third click.
