    Has anyone come across replacement trim for the front side repeater /indicators? Mine is an LCI model so has no indicators, but I'd like to replace the chrome with gloss black to match the grille and window/mirror trim. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

    Hello, My E46 316Ti compact has failed the MOT on control arm bushes. I've ordered replacement parts but have a couple of questions regarding fitting please. Can these be changed using drive-on ramps as opposed to axle stands, or is it necessary for the wheels themselves to be off the ground...

    Just an FYI post here.... When I got my car two years ago I found that the radio would cut in and out for a minute or two on start. Also, I never realised that I should have been able to connect my phone over bluetooth. I just assumed it didn't have that feature. After some research I found...

  7. Tyres and Alloy Wheels Forum
    I’ve replaced too many of the (very) expensive Dunlop Sport Maxx GT runflats on my F10 5 series. Had 3 sidewall bulges in 2 years and I avoid as many potholes as I can! Approximately £1k a set at 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Thinking of a) ditching the run flats and b) thinking about the Falken...

    Morning all! I’ve been getting the odd ALTERNATOR FAULT warning come up every now and then on my ‘06 730d so I decided to buy a new voltage regulator. I thought it would make sense to spend £40 on this to see if it rectified the problem before shelling out £300 on a new alternator. I came to...

    Hello, The driver seat of my BMW is pretty worn out. The fabric is still very good, but the foam is pretty much worn out and not very comfortable to sit in anymore.

    Sorry, I'm sure you have covered this before, but I was trying to answer a question for someone quickly. Can I simply disconnect old lights from 1999 E39 and re-connect 2001 headlights or are cable adaptors required. Thanks.

    Hello all, I'm new to this, so forgive me if my question is too trivial. My BMW 1 Series passenger side headlight stopped working this morning. I'm just wondering if it can be fixed by just replacing the bulb? Or do I need to replace the whole headlight kit? I look forward to your feedback...

    Hi, i've got a 2001 325 with factory fitted Satnav, which as you can imagine is a little out of date. I bought a replacement unit with DAB built in satnav etc, but the wiring for the existing unit doesn't match either of the harnesses that came with the unit. I'm guessing that the existing...
