  2. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    I have a 325i 2.5ltr 2006 with 94k miles, does anyone else's engine use a fair bit oil? No leaks that I can find and no smoke when either started or accelerating hard so doesn't seem to be burning oil. I estimate about 1 ltr every 1 to 1.5 thousand miles? Is this right as I have read some people...

    Hi. I need your advice. I picked up my second hand Z4 yesterday and took it of a longer run. On the way back there was clunking noise at lower speeds (1st, 2nd gear, it's an automatic, the 6 speed one). Then I noticed rough idle. It gets pretty bad and the car is shaking. I stopped the car and...

    Hello all My last BMW was a black E30 318i. I think I paid £850 for it from recollection.

Only 60,000 miles on the clock and completely original, I'm planning to get it as close to mint...

  9. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    Hi folks, pretty much as the title says. My wife's car has power drain issue, so if it's not been used for a few days, it often needs a jump start. This morning was one of those times, so as I've done multiple times in the past, I hooked the jump leads up to the engine terminals on my X3 and...
