Hi all, My car is a 2007 320d M47 with the Mitsubishi turbo, the one with an electronic actuator. Long story short, replaced my old turbo with a Reconditioned one, it worked for about 100miles then no boost at all. I was puzzled, scan code pointed to Actuator fault. the actuator was clicking...

It's been a second time already when the check engine light came on during a very hot day like today (30+ celsius or 86+F) and disappeared once the car has been sitting in the garage for more than 4 hours. The first time it happened was like a week or so ago. Also, the day was very hot. Driving...

Reposting as I think I posted in the wrong place... So, I have a G30 520d. Car is leased and new. For this reason, I dont want to do a proper remap as I know it will require drilling into ECU and will leave traces all over the place. And by traces I don't mean in case of a warranty claim, I...

Hi there I have found a BMW m3 e36 only done 48k miles from new 3 owners red in colour 2 door just needs a point polish but all seems in good working order been standing for years! Just after some advice on a value price on this car

Or, possibly, what are they selling for... I was just looking on Autotrader and there is nothing sub £10K at the moment. Although, to be fair, most for sale are just shy of 100,000 miles. I'm a bit worried that my insurance agreed value of £8K (1999 with 114K miles) is a bit low. On the face...

I picked my 62 plate f30 320d sport up on the 27th February from the main dealer in Chesterfield, on picking it up it had just had a fresh MOT done. After having the car a few days I realised the wipers were poor at clearing the screen, the hand brake was a pretty poor effort and there is a...

Hi everybody, total newbie to the forum and BMW's here, sorry to be cheeky and start asking for opinions straight away but I could use some help! As the title says I picked up my E61 520d Msport two days ago, I'm absolutely thrilled! The drive is like nothing else and its a joy to own, however...

Hi Folks I'm looking for some friendly advice and this forum was suggested by a friend. I very recently had my 2010 F11 520D serviced, not at BMW as it has covered 130000 miles, but at a high street service provider that offers a 'gold service'. 4 days after the service the Chain on the...

B12 5.0 Alpina coupe Automatic (1991), based on BMW 8-series 850i | eBay

I noticed this towards the end of last Winter, but as it got warmer the issue went away. Now it's getting colder again it's rearing it's head. Basically, when I've started the car from cold and hit traffic in the first couple of minutes of my journey, sometimes the car will accelerate forward...
