back

Two to three months ago I had an issue with my 2009 N47D20C 320d. Complete lack of power, whistling and black smoke coming through airvents. Changed back pressure sensors (2 on drivers side, one fed from exhaust manifold and other from dpf). Had DPF professionally cleaned (reset adaptations via...

Hi, I have 2006. E90 330d, manual, RWD and have been experiencing some issuses lately...I have vibrations/rumble in the back of my car while in gear and when releasing the gas pedal (strongest around 60-70kph, when I go faster vibrations slightly fade but are still present). If I step on the gas...

is there any reason I cant run a front 313 wheel 225/35/19 on the back? (back being 255/35/19). Thinking about using a spare one as a spare wheel. also could a pair be used with spacers instead of the 255 rear wheels which keep cracking?

Hi I have taken my car to the local garage to establish the coolant leak was from the expansion tank which I understand cracks easily however when I asked them about the exhaust hanger issues they tell me that the entire exhaust system needs replacing. They quoted 650 is this high? Am getting...

Hi All, I want to wire in a dc/dc converter with two usb outputs to power a dashcam and a phone charger, could anyone recommend a fuse to use? I was originally going to use the home link connector, but i think that my car does not have the connector, it seems that UK cars which dont have home...

Hi guys, After a brief defection, I'm back. I had a Jag XFS for about 10 months, but I really wasn't happy with it, so I traded it in for a 2010 525d (BMW #4). I think this is an F10, can anyone confirm?

Just tried to fill up after car laid up for 6 months, and when pump nozzle put into filler and trigger pressed, diesel flooded back out of the filler tube

New to this forum, apologies if I have done something incorrect or missed some information! The dreaded dpf light came on on Sunday. Took my car to the mechanic who showed me the error code (4010 - exhaust back pressure sensor before particulate filter, signal) and advised me to buy the part...

I noticed something when looking at the live ECU data on my car today, the exhaust back pressure under load at 4k revs is much greater than it is when you do the standard test with the car stationary. I had around 125pa under the normal test and saw over 460pa flat out in second gear. Does this...

Hi all. 645ci Just had new thermostat, new alternator, new rocker cover gaskets, new battery, and new coolant. Drives great now, but noticed when driving home from garage that oil temp which sits at 90 nicely dropped to zero, and a minute later, jumped back to 90, a few times ? Any thoughts...

Evening from the sunny Northwest Been here before, but not for a while! Had plenty of BMs before, but non as nice as my new X5. I wanted something that would cope with the states of the UKs roads, and this does the job nicely. I've been leasing Audi's for the last few years, but just didnt...

Hi Guys, This has probably been asked many times but i'm looking to upgrade my rear silencer on my 435i, whats your opinions on which one to go for? i'm swaying towards the Remus with black tips. Cheers

I have an X3 xDrive20d M Sport. The first set of tyres did 35,000 miles at which point all four needed replacing. After a further 21,000 miles the tread on the front tyres is 4.5mm but on the rear tyres is 2.0mm. I am told that all four should be replaced as apparently there should not be more...

Evening everyone I was last here back in 2014 with my E46 325Ci Sold that with 144k on for a Mk5 Golf GTI which was great fun but I missed the quality of BMW. So in June last year I bought a 2007 E92 M-Sport 325i N52 engine with a mere 19k on the clock. The car is like new. So I have nearly...

Hi, just purchased a run around car which is a 2003 320d SE Auto on 115k. I bought it blind and drove it a few times to see what it needs doing. The idle is rough and makes the car shake / vibrate (more than a normal diesel!) and when coming to a stop the car sometimes feels close to stalling...

Hello All. Just purchased a E93 in Atlantic blue with cream nappa leather after being away from BMW for a few years. I have owned a couple of other BMW before which were a E46 coupe which i bought brand new in 2001 and also a Alpina B3 Convertible before trying a Lexus SC 430 and then a Mercedes...

Hi can I swap out the back boxes on a 645 for a set from an m6? I have read that the bore is slightly bigger on the m6 exhaust, is this something that can be worked around?? My big concern is that people are saying that because I don’t have an m6 bumper then the pipes will stick out a mile at...

Hi all, I'm slowly putting my E36 318is back to standard ready for sale. I've had it for 9 years. Sad times but it’s time to move on. Here is the old project thread: https://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f187/e36-318is-coupe-project-t127684/ There’s a bunch of bits for sale on gumtree right...

I just got a E60 520 / N46. Car came in with camshaft inlet position / O2 sensor faults. Vanos solenoid on inlet side was found not working as well though no codes on vanos showed up. O2 sensor and vanos solenoid were solved with replacements. Vanos then runs fine from live data. Now I am...
