  1. BMW 2 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW F22
    Hi - New to this forum, but hoping someone can help explain what might have caused the rather weird thing that happened whilst driving home today. I was stuck in stationary traffic, with the gearbox in D, and my foot on the brake. Whilst sitting there I felt the car try to pull forward..almost...

  6. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi all, I guess this is yet another auto box question on here. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing & maybe knows where to start looking. 9 / 10 journeys the car is spot on but occasionally when I finish a journey go from D to P or R I’ll get the dreaded “cog” light. When the...

  9. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    On cold starts, my 318ti does not want to go forwards when you put it in drive - if you accelerate a bit it just revs in neutral (that's what it sounds like anyway). However if I put it into tiptronic manual mode and force 1st or 2nd gear the car does move forward and drives normally. Once the...

    Hi, I just recently acquired a BMW x3, that has the 6HP21X Automatic Gearbox, when i bought it I new it had an issue with the gearbox, but thought it was still a good deal even if I pay for a having the gearbox overhauled. So after shopping around for a decent garage, I finally bit the...

    I know lots of people hate the auto stop/start system but I quite like it. One issue I have with it though is that if I don't come to a completely clean halt (e.g. creep forward a bit before a full stop) the system seems to conclude that I'm in stop-start traffic and it leaves the engine running...
  13. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi, I'm having a problem with the gearbox (I think) in my 320d. When accelerating at motorway speeds a loud knocking noise starts at about 90mph and stops then once I ease off. I first thought it was a suspension noise but then the conssistency of the speed it starts at it must be in the box...

    Hi everybody, I wonder if someone could tell me what is the time interval to change the belt on a 2011 bmw 330i auto e92. Currently, the car has done approximately 85000 mile. Do I also have to change the tensioner?

    Hi all, Sometimes when I’m in sport and using the paddles on the downshift the engine will auto blip between gear changes. It’s really cool and sounds ace on the over run. Trouble is it doesn’t always do it. Is there a method or setting to ensure this happens? Many thanks in advance
  16. Auto Electrical Forum
    So about a month ago, I drove to my 318i (2008 Auto) to the shop as usual. It’s never given me any issues or shown any signs of. I’ve only had it for 3months as 2nd hand though (145K). When I got back in the car after less than 10mins in the shop, the car wouldn’t start! Cranked up but no start...

  18. BMW Detailing, Bodywork and Styling forum
    Giving my car a nice detail this weekend, it’s got a few swirl marks but I haven’t got time to machine them out. I’m planning on using Auto Glym Super Resin Polish then applying P&S Beadmaker ontop. Just wondering if the P&S properties would still work or is it a waste of time. I know P&S would...
