Am toying with the idea of buying a cheap car and doing a 10-15k mile road trip around Europe even into Turkey and Russia. Am just thinking if the car breaks down and beyond repair what could I do ? Something like that would really piss me off and I'd end up dumpling the car or just sell it...

We have a 2007 BMW 120i E87 series. Great car, but a week ago, it developed a misfire. Years working on bikes told me it wasn't running on all 4 cylinders, so I booked it in to a garage with the diagnostic gear - not a main agent. They diagnosed a coil which had failed, and ended up replacing...

I know there are around 300k cars recalled in the UK, much MUCH less on the continent. According to my local BMW, my E91's VIN is not in the range of cars affected, however the build date is spot on and (which is much worse) the actual fault happened to me. Obviously BMW does not recognize my...

Car has been kind of hesitating prior to accelerating hard after long periods at 50mph sections of traffic. Then the other day it hesitated and then broke, lost power, very lumpy running, I coaxed it off the motorway and parked up. Then lumpy running got worse then high pitched squealing then...
