    Hello again. Hope I found the correct thread for this. I just bought my first BMW 118i 2005 Sport and failed miserably. Car was ok during the test drive or I did not notice anything suspicious.

    Hi folks. My wife has a 2012 E82 135i as her daily driver which has now done around 65,000 kms. Right from day one it has had heavy steering and the dealer even overinflated the tyres prior to delivery to try and mask this (we had the car built, so were not able to test drive). We run...

    Hello all, I am hoping you can help me, I recently purchased a 1999 E38 735i with 92,000 miles. After a couple of weeks of ownership I noticed the car was intermittently losing power at higher revs under medium to heavy throttle power. This was happening between 3000 - 5500rpm. The car would...

    I have only had the car a few weeks now, but I find the steering quite heavy - certainly compared to my previous car - an E61. The PAS fluid is at the right level, and the drive belt is as it should be, the tyre pressure is set to 32psi as recommended - is the steering heavy on these?? I...

  9. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series
    Hi I’m thinking I maybe need to replace or service the tailgate struts on my 2005 e61 touring. The boot is very stiff to open and close but it does stay open on its own.

    Hello folks, Ever since I got the 523i I've felt the throttle pedal is very heavy to operate. I've had 2 other E39s and this one is definitely not right. I mentioned it to the mechanic at the BMW specialist while it was in for something else and he agreed it was stiff, suggested it could do...

    The window trims on my 2007 BMW E61 535D have bothered me since I got it due to the poor condition of the trims. This seems to be a common problem on all cars and made the search for replacement 2nd hand trims pointless. I asked the dealer for a price for the 22 pieces of trim I would require...
