Hello Bimmerforums community, I hope you can help me out. I have had an annoying drivetrain error for the last couple of months which I was trying to solve and exhausted all the channels (including BMW dealership). The issue: Whenever accelerating from 30-40mph to 70-80mph, the drivetrain...

Finally got round to repairing the oil filter housing oil leak with a new gasket. After removing the charge hose from the intercooler to the throttle body I found the rubber gaskets need replacing. Cannot find a supply on evil bay in the UK or on google. Can anyone recommend a supplier with a...

Hi, The batteries in my E31 are dead... my own fault for not starting the car over the last year (it sits under a cover and I'm very lazy). Alas the MOT is now due so I'd like to take it to get tested and start using it again over the Summer. I have a simple Draper 4A wall charger that I've...

I’m getting nervous about the Ulez in london. My 6 was registered in 82 so that means I’ll fall short by about 5 months before it reaches the 40 year classic car exemption. Can I register as a classic now.

Might sound daft but i bought a Yuasa battery for my 30d x5 just over 2 years ago. Turned out it wasn't needed so it has been sat on the bench in my shed connected to a ctek mxs 5.0 charger ever since. Does anybody think this battery will still be any good as i need one for my e90 2.0d. Any...

The car has been standing for several months and battery is totally dead. I tried charging it but the charger doesn't go into charge mode even after leaving it connected for more than twelve hours. Tried jump leads just to get central locking to operate but there is absolutely no sign of life. I...

So basically live INPA details showing desired and actual values show that Charge Air pressure is low even at Idle. The desired value is about 1000 and the actual is more like 800 and it is idling like that. I understand that MAP sensor is responsible for measuring this in Inlet manifold and...

2004 E60 530d I've got a DFP thread running with a few other errors in it but thought I'd post a fresh thread to keep them separate etc so the............................... I've had this problem from a few weeks after I got the car, so approx 18 months - the issue did get masked when I had...

I've just had to replace the turbo on my 2004, E60 525D, 2497cc. The original one had only lasted 278,000 miles ... who said BMW quality was poor .... not me!! Managed to source a rebuilt unit for £300 and all seems ok ... but engine feels like it has a little less oooomph. New Turbo is GT2056V...

Hi Guys I am hoping one of you will be able to help me with a problem on my 2006 e60 525d Automatic. Pulled up after work a couple of days ago and noticed the idle was fluctuating as well as the car shuddering. I could also smell a rubbery burning smell. The next morning I was on the way to...

From the mains (a 12v car battery charger of course), connected to the + point (not the battery but the jump point) under the bonnet, and then the negative to the bodywork/chasis, and leave it overnight? I've charged car batteries without disconnecting and removing from the car before with...

So I thought this http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f15/11-2006-e61-525d-bst2-cable-error-t497450/ would be my last problem but it isn't... After my last service where EGR and inlet manifold were both thoroughly cleaned and glow plugs were replaced I cleaned the all error codes with Carly...

I hadn't used my 630i for a couple of months because I was in hospital for a while then spent some time recovering. As expected, when I got in the car the battery was dead flat so I charged it and used the car a few times over the next couple of days without any issues. But after not using the...

Hi folks I have a small amount of oil seeping from the joint between the charge air pipe and the intercooler. I have got the new seal ready to go in. I have pulled the metal clip down and have been able to wiggle the pipe slightly to see it seperate however I havent forced it as its a solid...

Just finished swapping in the inlet blanks, put it all back together. Started it, everything ok. Got 100 metres down the road and absolutely no power. Felt like the car was breathing through a straw. The fault code is 3f25 charge air tube monitoring. Can anyone shed some light as I'm in Kent...
