I've decided to make the 8 a second car instead of a daily driver and want to have it off the road completely for winter. Using it as a daily driver means I can't do everything that needs doing, although the things that need doing are minor. So, for the longevity and preservation of the car I...

To the driver of the soft-top new series 840i who passed me very rapidly on the M4 Eastbound at around 8am on Tues 30th July, did you notice the original series 850i driver cruising in the inside lane who gave you a brief flash of 8-er acknowledgement of a very rare event before you disappeared...

So after countless years of driving Jags i've traded in my supercharged XE and gone for the 840d xDrive Coupe. Pretty impressed with the spec on this car. Any advice for a new BM owner?

Hi Ive got a 2014 LCI 520D 8 speed auto and I am based in ireland. The car has covered 85k and I was wondering if i need to change the oil in the trasnmission or just accept the whole BMW lifetime oil thing? Anyone have it done or carry it out themselves. Im thinking ill need a pump for...

so basically, it is recommended 7.5l, however on the oil dipstick, it shows on the minimum, and only showing correct level when topped up by 8liters. I was doing this in my last 3-4 oil changes done by indies, however, I have realized that what if the dipstick is wrong? another indicator is...

Hello, Performed an LED conversion on the above a few years back so that the dials light up nicely. All been ok until recently the air-con button does not stay depressed when pressed. Had some work done on my OBC awhile back by m8-Enzo, who said he could fix the air-con unit button, but he...

Hello All, Hoping to be active here. Picked up my first 8 yesterday, '95 840ci metallic black. In basically sound order, but needs some light attention to keep things right for the future, so on the hunt for an 8 friendly garage and bodyshop around west London / home counties. ( I'm in...

Hi All, Firstly please don`t think this is just a valuation i`ve jumped on here for. A very good friend of mine has a 1994 840ci, he purchased just a few months ago. It runs well, its MOTed and Taxed. Sadly and right out of the blue he has been diagnosed with Cancer, he`s just 40, and...

Just about to get a 8 speed auto version of the 1 series with the paddles. I have a question over what mode to put the box in when at traffic lights or where a delay of 30 secs or more may occur. In manual, I have mostly done 1st with the clutch down and rarely change to neutral and I am not...

A little treat for you. It's a really pretty car, can see a lot of Aston and old six series in it. The lights are amazing and the shape looks great. Not sure on the grille but overall a nice replacement. Sorry for the crappy pics, it was busy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi fellow 8ers, As I sometimes I have been known to browse the Autotrader and Piston Head adverts to see what's out their, it would seem the value of our cars is certainly on the rise in recent times. Not that I suppose it's an obvious would be car thief's choice to steal, then again not sure...

I have the washer tank in the boot and seem to have an intermittent problem, which has just developed. The pump in the boot does not refill the tank under the bonnet. A couple of weeks ago I stipped out the water tank in the boot to sort out some rust-not sure if the two are related?. When the...
