    I'm new to this forum so apologies if this has already come up or is on the wrong page. I have a 2011 120d and when pulling away, usually up hill there is a clunking noise which sounds like something spinning and nocking against something. Is there any common faults that would cause this? I've...

    Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. Recently bought a used 1 Series 116i SE (2007, 45000 Miles) As we're heading into winter, it has started making a horrid sound on cold start, I've linked a video of it on youtube as an example. Other than that there isn't anything wrong, am just...

    Hi, I currently have a BMW 1 series 2013. I was driving today and in 2nd gear it lost power going up.

    When I hit 2-3revs a vibration appears right through the middle only when I'm accelerating. I've had a new clutch kit, dualmass flywheel, gearbox and its not fixed the issue. Tried the engine mount not that. Wheels are all balanced. Loosing my mind on what else to do!

    Seems to be getting a right bashing online about the styling, switch to FWD, lack of 6-pot, no more 3 door etc. Are you with the :thumbsup crowd or the :eek crowd? I must admit the M135i in particular is a shadow of its former self. Thoughts?
  20. Auto Electrical Forum
    I have a 1 series 118i and for some reason the instrument cluster and thus headlights have stopped coming on at night automatically when it's dark. However if I turn them on manually they work. Does anyone know what the issue is, I'm assuming there's a light sensor to tell the car it's dark and...
