    Hi all, Just wanted to get some opinions on the state of my engine air filter on my M47 engine. I thought this was supposed to be changed with my annual service, but someone had pointed out the filter looks as if it had not been changed in years.

    Hi all, Been a bit of a forum lurker for a bit, and recently decided I need the hive mind that is the forum to maybe point me in the right direction. I bought a E87 2004 120i manual a few months back. I've been driving it around and no problems to report, the car was quite gutless, but I did...

    For the life of me I cant figure out what the button just in front of the aux in port on the centre console does or is for. There is no icon on it or anything. Can't find it in the owners manual either. Any help is appreciated.

Over Christmas it went out and the warning light came on, no problem I thought, just swap the bulb out for a new one.

    This has probably been asked before but I can’t find anything specifically for the model so asking again.
