  1. Auto Electrical Forum
    Hello, I have F20 LCI 116d Sport and the steering wheel frequently looses electrical power to the buttons. I can see the lights in the buttons go off and I get a Speed Limiter error message in the iDrive. It seems to be more frequent in cold days and less so during the summer. I've also found...
  2. Tyres and Alloy Wheels Forum
    Hi all. New to group so apologies if this had been covered. I have learned recently how complex the xdrive/tyre issue is! Thread patterns and depths play tricks with xdrive and transfer box from what I've learned. Currently I need to change tyres as apparently not only are they different...

    Hi all The parking space where I live is on a slope with a kerb at the bottom. When I park my car I usually park with the rear wheels against the kerb using it almost like a wheel chock. My question is, could that damage the rear differential if the weight of the car is against the kerb? I am...

    So, first of all, here’s my 2014 F10 535d. I bought the car in October last year (2021) So far the car has been incredible and I can’t fault it atall. I’ve had it remapped a few weeks ago which makes it even more fantastic to drive. In the last week or so I started to hear a noise coming from...
  6. Tyres and Alloy Wheels Forum
    Hi all, My first post here! Can anyone help identify these wheels please? The centre-cap is BMW but doesn’t necessarily mean the wheels originally are. I’ve looked online but no joy as yet. I’ve added photos including a photo of behind each spoke… Thanks in advance!

    Hi folks. Had a BMW f30 efficient dynamics for a few months, enjoying the car but it seems sensitive on the road. It's got larger wheels to standard with lower profile tyres (45). Am I right in thinking the wheels have upset the efficient dynamics suspension set up? As it's a bit different and...

    Hello guys, My name is Leon from Indonesia. I just bought a set of BBS Rx203 17x8 ET10 wheels for my 1990 BMW E30 sedan. And now I:m looking for some tyres for them.

  15. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    A while ago, not sure how long could be two years or so, I had the nearside rear wheel bearing changed. This year's MOT car failed due to excessive tread wear at inside of wheel, so bad that the outside edge looked great but virtually no tread at inside. I've been told that this is probably due...
  16. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi all, My steering wheel shakes back and forth at around 24mph and around 55mph. It also sometimes feels notchy at low speeds when moving the steering wheel. The car has recently had new front inner and out tie rods, front control arm bushings and new rear dampers. Any input welcome, I don't...

Garage doesn't want to know after this length of time. Another mechanic says it's something to do with a...

    Hi It occurred to me it might be worthwhile putting in the metal gap that the plastic wheel mud guard rests on some kind of filler such as putty so that water doesn't get in and stay there, any thoughts? I eventually finished off the wheel arch painting. It looks a lot easier on YouTube,
  19. BMW Detailing, Bodywork and Styling forum
    Hi Was going to do a touch up on the wheel arch rust however it is so bad there is upon the removal of the paint a hole in the arch and you can see the black plastic inside the wheel arch, is this fixable with the isopon scratch and stone chip filler or do you have to replace the arch? Thanks...
