Hi all, I replaced my E91 last month with the new shape and within 30 days the timing chain snapped causing damage to, well, practically everything possible. Repairing garage have explained that the turbo and clutch need replacing too and, lucky for me, the dealership I bought it from are...

Hey Guys, These forums have been incredibly useful to me, so I though I would write up my DPF regeneration story. I have a 2007 E81, which is my favorite car of all time. As soon as the DPF came on, I was worried this might be death nail of the car, as its got 156,000 on the clock and I...

Hi, as the title states I'm looking at buying an absolute top spec 325i on a 2012 plate with a full BMW Service history BUT it has 174,000 miles on the clock. Am I insane? Or am I worrying too much? I'd love some advice as this would be my first BMW if I bought it. Thank you!:hihi

Hi Guys, Recently took my car in for an MOT and had a brake line done. I'm now noticing a low pitch sort of squeak noise when i'm steering the vehicle. It's not really noticeable whilst driving just when you are maneuvering for parking. Any ideas as to what it is ? Many thanks Mark...

Sold it to a mate two years ago and traded up to an e90 (with the dreaded N47 engine which at only 120k is now making timing chain noises). I'm now disposing of and so is my mate with the e46 I sold him - well cared for with good service history yadda yadda etc. Thing is are these engines...

hello all. this is my first post . I have owned a 1994 e 36 318i manual for the last 5 years and use as my daily. I have had trouble free motoring [ touch wood] thanks to following the preventative maintenance advice on this forum. this car has now completed 120,000 mls and was purchased...

I have an odd transmission fault going on. I find when shunting around, like doing a 3 point turn or parking the car goes into safe mode with Transmission Fault warning and proceed with caution to get it looked at. If I stop the engine and shut everything down it tends to clear, but it is...

Hi. Hoping for some advice from experts on here. The clutch on my 116i failed in the week, BMW Leicester Sytner claim no sign of manufacturing fault, so must therefore be "wear and tear" and I am liable for full cost (quote ~£2700 inc labour). Car is less than 2 years old, 36,000 miles. Is this...

I've just joined this forum to help a friend move along some very rare BMW and Alpina parts. This will be a very slow process and hopefully this will be welcomed on the forum. The first item will be a masterpiece of engineering, the M88 engine removed from a 1986 M6 that had covered just 32,000...

Would you consider a 119000 a high mileage car? will it be reliable in 3 years time if doing around 13000 a year? What to look for? how often to change the oil? Thanks

Crikey, not seen one that high!!! Wonder how it drives?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/172167938024

Hi all, I've recently purchased the car and I've noticed that on cold starts only I get a an audible pump type noise (sort of a fast tapping/whirring sound) from under the bonnet, this noise stops after about 5 seconds. The car always starts and runs fine, is this a normal part of the cold start...

Hi all, I'm planning on replacing the oil in my diff, I've had the car a few weeks and I'm noticing a faint whine coming from my rear end (no the misses isn't in the back !). As the diff is damp (not wet, but it has obviously had a light weep for ages), i will replace the oil and hope this...

I've recently picked up a 2005 E90 330d M Sport auto and with the car being 10 years old and close to 100,000 miles I was thinking of giving it a complete service. It does need a service anyway and because of it's age I'll start servicing it every year from now on. The service list so far is...

Hi All, First post, although I have followed you guys and taken al ot of good advice from threads over the years. Simple query really, Ive been lucky (or not) that my 2002 320i e46 has passed another mot with only back break pads and break pipes to be replaced. I've fancied a change for a year...
