So the 1 yr Inchape Group extended warranty (administered by Car Care Plan) on my 2015 640d is coming to an end in 4 weeks time, and they currently do not extend it beyond this point. I have been looking at alternatives, mainly for peace of mind as in my experience when things go wrong it tends...

Hi, I have a 1996 840ci. Purchased from a guy in London(why I mentioned this will make sense later). When driving normally everything is fine. Upshifts and downshifts are smooth. However when cruising at around 50-60mph (5th gear at any speed really) and I accelerate hard, the revs jump up...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I wonder if someone could help me by explaining how I remove the 3rd rear light on my E64 2007 650i Convertible and replace it with the new fitting that I have ordered? Have now received the help that I needed from an American BMW 6 Forum.

Hi, Car is going for a service next month, wanted also to get the tensioner replaced as it sqeeks like puppy on cold starts. Garage I use and trust said they can replace it no problem but I can also get a water pump replacement, trouble is the belt won't be OEM. I've scanned forums and it...

Hi all, Here are some photos - I know that Forsh amongst others were keen to see results - following the 3rd detailing session since owning the car. Between 6 and 7 hours work, plus another 5 hours yesterday on getting the interior (including all door seals, doors, literally everything)...

tried installing a catch can on the n42 but after having it installed the engine squealed like metal on metal contact after a few seconds i was trying to remedy the oil loss with increased vacuum just like you can on the 6 cylinder engines after that i released the vacuum and started the car...

I have several Led's that have failed on my high level brake light, are replacements available from anyone other than BMW? I have had a trawl around and drawn a complete blank other than a s/h one on Ebay, and he wants close to £50 for that! I would rather fit a new one and know it will last a...

This is my 3rd post hoping for help on a starter 'delay' problem. The glow plugs come on fine, but often I have to wait for 25 or so seconds before the starter motor functions. I suspect a faulty thermostat function linked to the glow plugs. My question, is there a thermostat built into the...

I recently got the gearbox adaptive reset done to try to remove the issue I have from 2nd to 3rd gear where you can feel a bit of a jerk. It's not aggressive but it's just not as seamless as rest of gear changes where you can't even feel it change gear. The reset worked instantly but this has...
