    So I had oil leaking from my valve cover gasket seal, around the spark plug area, flooding the spark covers and coils in oils. My car has done 147K Miles and I don't believe it's had the cover replaced previously, so I replaced the whole cover, with a new gasket, new bolts, all BMW OEM...

    Hello guys! My name is Stelios, I am new to the forum. My father has an e34 518i and he gave it to me a few weeks ago. The car has been sitting in the garage for 4 years now. I want to restore it and run it as a daily. However, it has a small 4 cylinder engine and the car is pretty heavy. I...

    So...My BMW F10 feels a little insecure, like the steering wonders a little. I’ve had new tyres and shocks, also a bushes and suspension arm inspection, but it still feels strangely loose at the rear-almost like it’s wobbly on fast turn in or lane change-and requires tiresome little twitch...

    Just bought a 2011 528i M sports with semi-electrical seats. The drivers side seat adjustments work fine except for the height which doesn't work. All the passenger side adjustments work. I thought of trying to check the fuses but the fuse box leaflet says there are 7 fuses associated with the...

    I have just purchased some new BMW wheels for my car and they have come ready fitted with the sensors tor TPMS. Is this something that can just be coded to the car or does it require the retrofit of extra specific modules? Thanks Matt

    I have slowly been looking into this for a few months, I have fitted a new ignition switch and a new battery but I still have an intermittent fault. The entire dash cluster occasionally dies or the needles flicker and buzz/hum, it usually happens when I turn on the dip beam. The two resets to...

    Anyone have any thoughts on this ? The gearbox fault (cog) light comes on more or less as soon as you shift into gear and we go into limp-home. Turning ignition off and back on will clear it, but only after 5 miles or so, once it's warmed up. Oil changed about 5k ago. Wondering where to...

    Hi to all, I have had my beloved 528i for almost ten years now and it is 21 years old but still like new. That is part of the problem though! I have never been at all happy with the light from the dipped beam setting on the headlights. I can hardly see enough road to go 30mph at night on...

    Hello folks, thanks for hosting this great facility. I am trying to get to grips with a non functioning auxiliary fan and was hoping to use the car for some longer trips this summer. Apart from the AC not been cold it makes it dodgy if you are stuck in traffic, and that will happen! I checked...
