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...

    Hi, I just went to see a 2015 (new gen) x1 18d sDrive. It has done 82000 miles and has good service history (only missing one in 2021). The owner had the egr flushed when he first bought it. He said this was for his own peace of mind, but it slightly worried me. Looking at the MOT history, I can...

    I am interested in this 2012 X6. It's done a lot of miles. I would like to know what risks there are in purchasing this vehicle?

    Hi everyone, I've just bought, my dream sleeper, a beautiful manual E91 335i M-Sport Touring but it's got an issue with the sunroof. I've done the whole "press the tilt button for X seconds and it'll go through the initialisation procedure", but when the panels come down from venting and...

    Hello, I have a e46 328i, which has the mechanical fan on the engine (it's a manual, but the engine was swapped from an auto). Since I plan on drifting the car, I would much prefer an electric fan on the radiator. Now, there are many threads on this conversion, and i know it's straight...

    I'm a new driver and due to taxes being dumb high (Greece) I'm "forced" in the range of 1.6L engines. Sadly the e46 316 is barely 120 bhp so I'm wondering if a Cooper S with about 170 bhp would be more fun to drive. Opinions?
