  1. BMW 1 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 1 Series
    Hi, this is my first post on the forum, I am currently having a problem with my E82 where at high rpm/engine load the engine cuts out, I have read the codes and it shows a 4590 Rail Pressure plausibility volume controlled and 483D Throttle valve actuator. I know that there are two solenoids on...

    Hi, I have an E92 M-Sport from 2007 and I'm feeling the clutch starting to go. Anyone have a recent ball park figure for garage replacement? Or is it worth doing myself? Thanks,

    Hi all, one of my injectors decided to spring a leak today. Just wanted to know if it’s a diy job? I’ve done a bit of research but haven’t been able to find videos with my exact engine. Some people are mentioning coding the injectors, is that something I would have to do? Thanks

    My local garage has diagnosed failed injector seals/leaking combustion gasses on 2 of my injectors after investigating burnt oil type smell in the cockpit. A local diesel specialist has quoted £320 + VAT minimum to remove, check, re-seat and refit injectors with new seals, but they have said the...

    Hi Just turned around a corner and now I have strange sound from engine bay when steering. I was lucky enough to be near a car lot and the bloke says quite matter of factly itself the power steering pump on its last legs. Is this sound that sounds like when you blow through the lips closesd...

    I've got everything I need for a real shot at installing foggers on my broombroom. One big problem - every tutorial I've seen is about LHD models where the electrics conveniently route to just one side of the car - the side where all the fuses are. On my RHD E46, the wires go towards the drivers...

    Hi, I am trying to access the starter motor to change it but am struggling to see how the starter motor will come out when i finally get the 2nd E12 torx bolt off. I am working from the top of the car, do I need to remove any coolant/air-con plumbing, glow-plug stuff, or anything else in...

    As per the title. Is this something that can be done using software available on eBay or is it a lot more specialist? Is there potential to mess up parameters and settings that will affect the car?? I would pay to have it done but I’m in Northern Ireland and no one seems to be able to help!!!

    Hi guys, so I realized that my valve cover is leaking so I got to the point where I can move it, I removed fuel lines, fuel rail, a bracket with harness held by 2 aluminum blue top bolts and the strut tower. Now when I attempt to lift out the valve cover I got injectors on my way, the...

    About to change my steering wheel, I’m going from airbag to a non airbag wheel. Got a -95 328i Cabrio. I’m having trouble finding a well made guide for this conversion. Like, people are using 2.0ohm and 3.3ohm 0.5watt resistors for the airbag but which one is it? How do you install a...

  16. BMW Guides and How To's
    I couldn't find any DIYs online for this pretty common issue, so I thought I'd create one on Bimmerforums. I'm sure this guide will apply to any BMW model that uses the N13 engine setup. Right so over the past month our F20 116i has intermittently shown us a drive train fault message on the...

    I have recently purchased an E90 with 95k and is due a full service. With all the other money I'm due to spend on it (glow plugs, stats and gearbox service), I'm wondering how difficult a full service is and what it consists of? This is purely an attempt to keep the costs down. I've never done...
