died

Hi Guys, Yesterday I had my 840 delivered from USA. When car was delivered it didn’t start so I start it with cables (windows worked, fuel cap opened, trunk opened normally). With cables it started immediately. I drove it home 300m, cleaned it and parked in garage. I remembered having...

Hi all. I have a 645ci, 2004. Although I had a new battery a year or so ago, as I only use it every 2 weeks, for a very short drive, the battery died recently. I jump started it, however, I have so many issues that appeared that were not there before battery died. Windscreen wipers always on...

Was driving the ther day and heard a high pitched squeeling noise under bonnet sounded like a fan belt coming on. , my display also went blank and had to hit the central menu knob ( coincidental) ? after driving a further 2 miles Engine Malfunction came up and I managed to get to hard who...

So strange thing happened yesterday. I'm driving along the motorway at around 70mph and the abs warning symbol appears on the dash. Nothing I can do as travelling to work. After 30 mins the speedo dies on me, rev counter freezes along with the little mpg gauge and all the warning symbols appear...

Hi guys, I had a problem today and I am struggling to figure out what the problem is. My car died on the way back from work showing me: 1. DSC Failure 2. Transmission Fault 3. Oil Pressure low As it cut out and would not turn back on. It cranks but almost feels like there is no fuel in the...

Hi guys, new to the forum and E39 ownership (literally 2 days), I've had a fairly substantial look through the forum, found different situations to my own but nothing exactly as what happened with me so here's my story. Since I bought the car 2 days ago, it's not been very quick, not too bad...

Hi all yesterday I was in the Stoke area (live in the west midlands) and at lunch time the car did not start and made a hissing noise. I suspected it was the starter motor. I got stressed out because it was saturday afternoon and its a bank holiday weekend so garages will be closed, i'll have no...

Hi all Fired up my old Laptop to code in comfort mirrors and the aux I had just fitted to my E63 to have the hard drive die. Anyone in Surrey can do some coding for me? Cheers Mike.

hi guys I bought a car, (which i wish I walked away from) (a cat c too but that didnt bother me as repairs were done well:frown) with clutch issues anyways, I paid £800 to get the clutch done and ok happy days its cool now, so about 100 miles later I was backing into my parking space and it...

In April i had to have my fuel pump and a couple of my ignition coils replaced. I was also told that my car had a warning code for my catalytic converter. The advice was leave it as it was as it would be an expensive job to replace and car was running fine anyway. Last few weeks upon starting...

I bought my 2011 520d SE seven months ago from a reputable (non-BMW) dealer. It is an F10, an FW12 variant, with the N47 engine. The car was first registered on 25/03/2011. A few short hours ago my garage advised me that my timing chain had gone. I have spent the last four hours online...

Hi All, In some quite heavy rain all the warning lights flashed up and the rev counter dropped to zero for a second and popped back up again. The central screen then left a message up saying I had a abs fault. It left the screen for awhile but all three happened every few minutes until I...

120d (163bhp I think). Had the car a couple of years, bought from a dealer, 56 plate, 91k miles, dealer serviced and the turbo went whistly (US police siren noise) at low revs, worse when cold, then almost total loss of power 2 days later and noises like cats fighting amplified through a rock...

Happy Christmas Guys. Any Christmas tips would be much appreciated on this one please! My 84K Auto E87 decided it too was off for the festivities and just completely randomly conked out on the big day. It was running fine one minute then at about 10 MPH while decelerating from 30 as I turned...

Hi all! I am new here and I am having an issue with my 96 318is. It "blew" when i was accelerating the other day causing it to stall and now it cranks but wont start. I know I have fuel at the engine, and although I have had a small oil leak for a while, it was and is still full of oil. I am...

Morning all My E60 BMW 530d gave up a few days ago, while I was on the motorway it came on the dash that there was an engine fault and the power had been reduced. I noticed the fuel pump on the tank was very noisy and it was taking about 30 seconds to prime rather that the usual 7-10 seconds...

Hi All - I really hope you can help me to diagnose a problem I have on my car. I have a 2005 BMW 120D, the car has a complete service history with the latest service performed Apr 2014. The car has done 80K miles and up to this point has been utterly faultless. This morning I tried to turn the...

Well, my 2nd journey into bimmerland hasn't been quite as successful as my first (Z3). Picked up the 2008 320d M Sport (90K on the clock) at auction today - started fine, didn't notice any warning lights, it gave a slight stutter in the car park but I put it down to lack of fuel (they usually...

I have had a strange issue with my wifes 116i. I have noticed for a while it was a bit stuttery when moving off, but it's always been great other than this. It did have the cam chain recall fix a few years after buying (done by BMW). Perhaps this is related to this issue, or maybe not? Last...
