engined

So I found this while perusing another forum and thought I hadn't seen it posted here anywhere. I'm now waiting for a call back from the dealer to go and get done....they in turn are waiting for head office to send new software/diagnostics. Time per veh could be anything up to 2 days depending...

Hi Folks had this since last year and thought i would post up some pics. Stg 3 spec and megaclean :) Got a million plans for it but the main one is to actually drive it lol [/img]

Hi all In the next few days I'm hoping to pull the pin and buy a manual 650. As I'm sure you're aware, they're rare - only 4 manual gearboxed v8 engined 6 series for sale in the uk at the mo. I've driven a 645 and a 650. I'm aware they have strange clutches that bite low and sharp, (the 645...

So as you do you have little ideas about engine swaps and thought I'd have a look for bits, now obviously M3 engines aren't cheap and it will mean some messing around to fit but then I had a thought, for the same money as an E46 M3 engine you can get a rather tasty RB26DETT and gearbox from a...

What are they like when used on a daily basis? Are they really heavy on fuel? Thanks Mike

Hi, I could really do with some advise/help please. :confused The hazard lights are flashing when I turn engine off and Relay makes a whining sound. I thought it may need a new relay but I'm not sure? Also central locking fuse has blown when I try to replace it the alarm sounds. The central...

Hi all, I sure questions like this have been asked since things were all quiet on the Western Front... anyway i digress basically a promotion I am gunning for would leave me with an extra £500ish a Month and i would like to put some of this money towards saving for a Car. I refuse to get a...

Went to the Cholmondeley padgent of power todays as mentioned on Top Gear last week, and saw the mental car they where on about. Turns out it's a BMW! (well engine at least) Small Video of it was surprisingly quiet and smooth compared to some (click pic) Cool Flame spitting V24:cool...

As above I first read about swirl flaps on this forum and advised my pal to blank them when he bought his E46 320cd which he did. My other friend thinks his TD5 is a BMW diesel Engine, It is a T reg. I told him about the swirl flap issue I'm just not sure whether his engine has them.

Looking on Autotrader it is nearly impossible to find a well priced used manual 335i or 645i. I even phoned my local dealer the other day to test drive a manual 335i and they could not find me one to test. Useless! What's the draw? I would much rather have a manual 335i than an auto and the...

Or is it the Christmas overspending? I have noticed (myself included) a lot of cars on here that are not shifting, some at very good prices..... Or is it the fact that people just don't fancy spending a lot on large petrol drinking vehicles? Perhaps it's devil you know vs devil you don't...

Am I right in saying that a 323i back box from a m52 Engine 1999 se manual would fit my 2003 318ci msport auto? It has the single pipe connection rather than two as with other straight 6 engines. If I fitted it would it throw up engine management problems etc? Just looking for options. Any...
