  1. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    The automatic opening on my boot is intermittent. It unlocks every time but doesn't always lift. If I push it closed again by hand then press the remote button it opens ok. Is there an adjustment anywhere? I've checked the boot seal and everything seems in place just in case anything was...

    So, gave the car a quick detail using Autoglym Super Resin Polish, then a pass with Ultra Deep Shine, and finally topped off with the Extra Gloss Protector sealer. The car I picked up in London 2 weeks ago, and had contaminated paint, very dull and not popping. Well, the paint is now like...
  3. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    Why do X5s all have such high miles compared to other models and cars? Have you noticed most F15 X5 creak and squeek on almost every panel? How are your service bills, as I assume F15s are not under a service pack? Thinking of getting an X5 - because its the only car I think I can do miles in...

    So I've started replacing my oil level sensor (& oil change). I'm uncertain what needs stripping down to change the sensor. Is the sensor located at the back or front of the sump? Am using a trolley jack under the central engine jack point (and additionally some blocks of wood under the side...

    Hey folks, New member just saying hi. I recently bought my first BMW and all be it an uninspiring 2006 116i ES I'm quite proud of it. I read up on these forums before purchasing so I'd like to thank you for providing some very informative threads. Ultimately it was the budget and the...

    Just found this forum - sadly as a result of my 3 Series breaking... I recently inherited a 2002 318Ci - long story, and after several weeks of smooth driving, the gremlins are starting to show their face. So far nothing too serious (fingers crossed), but they seem to be common issues for BMW...

    i have two quick questions, one is my mate has a 320d facelift saloon, it is sat on coilovers with spacers to avoid tyre and coil scrub and slightly lower than it was before being on msport suspension(option on some es models) if he wanted to change from 16" wheels to MV2's or MV1's would they...
  8. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi all, Hoping someone has a quick fix solution here. I recently bought a 2009 E91 and the main boot struts seem really stiff. It requires the boot to be lifted up (won't go up on its own). Once it's up, it stays up. It's there anything I can do that could fix it? Or should I just but new...

    Hi just a quick question to do with swirl flap blanking. Is there a reason for buying blanking plates ? Surely just removing the actual flaps is enough?

    If the transponder chip is removed from the key (E46 diamond) and placed close to the ignition barrel/aerial will the rest of the internals still work?..i.e will the remote locking work with the internals in a fob? I ask because I have had a blank cut and want to use another different keys...
  12. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series
    Hi All Love my SE. Deliberately chose it over the M-sport as I'll happily admit I prefer the more 'luxurious' ride of the SE. Some questioned why I wasn't targeting an M-Sport but little point in going for a car of which you will possibly become frustrated with one of its fundamentals. Just out...

    Hi all. I've reconditioned my turbo, replaced my glowplugs, reconditioned my injectors because the car was lacking power, and sooted up the glowplugs. Now it only starts with quickstart and churns out white smoke and makes a knocking noise. Please help.

    Hi people. Just a quick question, probably a stupid one but more for clarification... My 03 330Ci has a factory fitted sat nav unit that, to be honest, hasn't aged well plus it only has cassette capability... I'm currently looking at new sat nav units with all the gadgets (bluetooth, updated...

    Hi All, just a quick intro... recently picked up an e46 320d Sport Touring. Not my first BMW, had a number of E36's prior but always wanted a 46! Near Warwick, so would be great to catch a meet or event some time if anything goes on here. Tom

    Hi guys, Just a quick one as my wheels are in for a refurb at BMW, he's called and said new centre hub caps are £40 for 4 And that if I leave the old ones in, the wheel needs to come off to get them off. Is this true? Or he can leave them with none in and I can buy my own... what's the...
