  1. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi, in my 320d 2010, I had a DPF filter error on dashboard for few months and recently I started losing power whenever I accelerated hard or hit 70mph on motorway and also on hard turning and bends. I did not waste time and got my DPF cleaned straight away but as it stands my car still has a...

    I have a 2009, 335i convertible hard top that stalls before the trunk lid completes the down cycle. It also stalls when the top assembly starts to exit the trunk. For both the down and up operation, it will complete the cycle by assisting. The trunk must be pushed down for the down cycle and the...

  9. BMW 8 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E31
    Hi, I have a 1996 840ci. Purchased from a guy in London(why I mentioned this will make sense later). When driving normally everything is fine. Upshifts and downshifts are smooth. However when cruising at around 50-60mph (5th gear at any speed really) and I accelerate hard, the revs jump up...

    Hi all New to the forum and having tried several avenues, thought I might find a result here. Looking for the black plastic gear stick surround trim for my 1997 E31 840Ci Unfortunately some unskilled fitting of a car phone back in the 90's has left an annoying hole in the current part. I...

    Hi, I went to swap the tape deck for an aftermarket cd mp3 player however had some serious issues, trying to put it into place was a nightmare owing to the thick wiring from the bmw wiring loom, there was this rather bulky plastic casing too that fits the wires into the tape deck, which i...

    Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone else has issues with a hard brake pedal on cold mornings? I have a 58 730d F01 and this issue started last winter, I had the brake servo and all hoses replaced and the whole brake system checked and was told by two different garages (one a BMW specialist) that...

    Has anyone here tried to use an SSD as an external music source on a professional iDrive? Just wondered if it'd work. Also what's the largest capacity USB key that you've tried? This is on an E61, not that that matters too much. It's the fact that it's the Professional iDrive that matters most I...

    Hello All, I have recently noticed my 330D auto is smoking on hard acceleration. A friend followed me at the weekend and confirmed it was grey/blue. Not white and not black. It is not clouds of it, but it is smoking. It is well maintained and it does NOT smoke at idle etc nor visibly in normal...

    Had 4 new Sachs/Boge OE shocks fitted to my car. 2003, E46, SE, 47k miles. It was recommended by the servicing garage due to age rather than any issue but I was told they were fairly worn when removed. New ones make the car feel more taut and well damped but there’s very little “give” in them...

    I'm trying to remove the oil pan sensor from my 316i. After removing the 3 nuts, the sensor moves on one of three protruding bolts that are attached to the sump. However, with the other two, if I try to pull the sensor off, the bolts move/bend as well. I reckon if I apply too much pressure, I'll...
  20. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Recently bought an old E46, It`s obvious that the servo has been replaced at some point in it`s life but for me my brake problems have started almost immediately in that the brake pedal goes hard after one push. Took the car to a mechanic who removed the vacuum pipe with the engine running and...
