    Hi all, I was driving last night and broke down as my car suddenly had 0 throttle response and had to get towed back home. Got home and slept it off and started my car earlier to have a look over, starts up but idles really roughly but then smooths out. Seems to knock under acceleration (I'll...

    Hi, I am looking for some advice. I recently bought a 2011 e81, occasionally when I drive, the loss of power triangle flashes on the dash and the car shakes violently and I lose power momentarily. It only happens when my foot is on the gas. I read online it could be a gap between the wheel and...

    Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. My wife's 2009 e81 118d windows stopped working due to cold frosty mornings, maybe burned out the motor trying to open them.

    Looking to buy my first BMW - a 1.6L is all I can afford to run petrol and insurance wise. I've been drawn to the 2008 3dr 116i SE because of its looks, features and the sporty nature of a 3dr. I'm looking for a fun car for a year, nothing longterm. No need for a 5 door unless buying a 3dr is a...

    I’ve got an e81 which has the optional headlight washers. I need to replace my front bumper after an accident and can’t find a front bumper with the headlight washer holes precut with washer caps. As the headlight washers run on the same fuse as the windscreen washers, I can’t just simply...

    Hi all, Noticed my rear wiper washer stopped ejecting fluid, thinking the nozzle was just blocked. However on closer inspection the fluid was coming through the trim and out of the boot shutline.

    Hi everyone (sorry for the essay) I’ve got an issue with my 2008 1 Series 116i M Sport (E81 I believe, 3 door hatch) that’s seriously driving me mad. I’ve had the car since February, bought with 80k miles, some service history (although nothing relating to this issue). I’ve browsed long and...

    Low Oil Pressure Light- Doesn’t always happen but when it does it comes on after driving around 10 miles, not the timing chain or pickup pipe as BMW already checked that and replaced the strainer and pickup pipe. Light goes away after turning off but usually comes back on not long after.

    Hi I am after some information I recently changed an injector seal (Copper washer) and noticed a rubber 'O' ring type seal near the top of the injector/ cam cover. The recess is in the head rather than the injector body. Is this part of the rocker cover gasket? Or is it simply an 'O' ring...
