    looking at two 118s M sport, I know peoples opinions on them are varied but I do really like them and I cannot afford to get a better model and have my mind set on one. There’s two that I can’t decide between. Ones a bit more expensive (£7,300 which I plan to get down to about 7,000) and one for...

    My car started intermittently misfiring especially in the lower rpms. I took it to the garage and they have replaced all 3 coil packs and spark plugs yet my car is still misfiring. Previously it was only intermittent (maybe once or twice a week for short bursts), but now it’s constant and throws...

    I believe that the engine in the 116i is the same as the 118i. How easy/how much would it be to remap the 116i to have the same power output/speed as the 118i?

    Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I bought a used 2018 118i (with the 1.5 engine). Car drove fine, and was sold as having an AA 128-point check, which the car passed on all points (including an "Oil/Fluid Leak(s)" check)... Just took the car for an oil/filter service at a BMW main dealer today...

    Hi guys, I own a E87 (118i) manufactured in 2009 with a N43 engine (4 cylinders) which is having a hard time. When cracking, it dies after 1 to 3 seconds if no gas applied. When gas is applied I'm able to keep the engine running but very unstable. I've done some diagnostics and tests and...

    First post here so I'm not sure if this is under the right section. Not a huge petrolhead so looking for an answer to this query. I had always previously been under the impression that using Sport mode would increase fuel consumption, but is this true in this case: 2019 BMW 118i M Sport Shadow...

  14. Tyres and Alloy Wheels Forum
    Hi, on our 2015 118i Sport, we keep getting a low tyre pressure warning, which, after going to a local garage turned out not to be the tyre but the valve stem itself. I have looked online and seen its possible (and obviously cheaper) to buy just the valve and not the complete TPMS sensor but...

    Hello again. Hope I found the correct thread for this. I just bought my first BMW 118i 2005 Sport and failed miserably. Car was ok during the test drive or I did not notice anything suspicious. The woman that sold me this car claimed it had "no issues whatsoever", however the reality showed that...

    Hello My E88 118i Convertible has a tendency to wander and be skittish when going over the crown of the road, imperfections in the road or road markings/cats eyes. I have replaced the track rods - both inner and outer (they were seized) and had the wheel alignment done, so it's now within...

    Hello. I wonder if anyone could help me with some issues I am having with my car. The first issue I was getting with my F20 2015 118i 1.5 was the engine raising rpms itself while stationary and with no gear engaged. This varied between 1100 and 1800 rpms. The problem seem to disappear for now...
