    hey all, 1st time poster here.... After a few weeks of research ( and overspending ) I’m just about ready to jump in and go (almost) full monty on the base audio system in my e92. As I found out, upgrading the stock base system throws some curveballs. I’ve done Frankenstein installs on...

    Hello First of all hello to everyone and i'm new in this forum. Turbo on my 318d 2003 gave up and i need it replaced. For me it would be just too expensive to order a brand new one and i haven't (also my mechanic) been able to find a used or restored one from anywhere. As i understand its not...

    Hi, I have a 320d Msport with 225’s on the front and 255’s on the rear, both 18’s. I have been offered a set of 397 alloys with continental winter tyres which I would like to buy but they are 225 40 18’s all round. Looking at various forums it seems a lot of people run 225’s front and back for...

    Hi. Looking for a 1 series for the wife. No need of diesel so looking for 2004 to 2011 N43. Need advice. Are they chain or cambelt? What problems can I expect? I.e. do they have similar problems to the N47 in my 320d? And which is the best mix of economy and performance? Any suggestions greatly...

    Is there meant to be visible flow in the power steering reservoir? I’m trying to track down a slight whine coming from the power steering at idle. When I look in the reservoir there is no movement or flow at all, it’s just still, but the power steering works fine. New pump installed about a year...

    I had my E92 325i serviced and MOT’d today. The garage I use is an independent bmw specialist who I have been going to since I bought the car two years ago. They did my fuel injectors last year and were very efficient with diagnostics and fixing the problem. They seem to be very thorough and...

    Hi I have a 2016 520D F10 which will be 3 tears old next month. As it is 3 years old the service indicator to change the brake fluid has come on, I contacted BMW and the charge is £100 plus I have to travel 15 miles, plus get a courtesy car (which they charge insurance for) then go back collect...

    Has anyone had a faulty DPF and purchased an aftermarket one? i.e. walker, Borla or Bosal? They all offer a replacement DPF for around £900, but I can’t find any reviews on them, and as of that I’m guessing that they’re not a popular choice when it comes to a faulty DPF. Has anyone had one or...

    Sorry for posting this in a non G20 thread but I can’t see one yet and I think I’d rather ask experienced buyers/drivers anyway: I’m looking at a new G20 Sport (company car choice doesn’t reach to M Sport spec) but I’m not hugely inspired by the colour choice. Sapphire Black with Oyster leather...

    I’m getting some strange looking fuel trims at the moment and wondered if anyone could chime in on what could be going on. STFT’s are showing it’s on the rich side, but LTFT’s are showing lean? This is a screenshot of the readings at idle...

    Hi all, Should the hose leading to the Radiator be cold until the temperature needle gets to the midway point on the dial. My car can take over 20 mins for the needle to reach the normal midway point so I'm beginning to wonder if the thermostat is stuck open. I checked the top hose to the...

    Hi hope this is the correct spot as I can't see gran Tourer in the listings. I need to get a set of snow chains for my 2017 220d M Sport Gran Tourer so does anyone know the clearance between the front tyre and strut please? Cheers Jimbo

    Hi folks, so new member and my first BMW. Always had an Audi Quatrro. But a deal came up on the, now old, 340i so I took a punt and boy am I glad, like nothing I’ve had before. Getting to grips with the tail wag, even with winter tyres, but such a more involved drive. Anyway, my question, how...
