I am thinking of up grading the wheels on my e60, cant afford new so looking at the second hand market for a set of 4x with tyres is there a way I can tell for my self if they are genuine bmw or not? many thanks kev

I've just seen a second hand 320d XDrive that I like the look of, for around £12,200. It's a Luxury edition with Xenon headlamps, sunroof and the professional navigation system. The car has 65k miles on it and used to be a company car. My only major gripe is the service history and the...

Hello, bought a 2013 BMW 3 series 316 a few months ago. I've never driven a BMW before, and have realised that there is am odd slide-like feeling when going over humps at speed 30+miles. Kept telling myself that this was probably due to RWD, however i think it's safer to get it checked as can be...

Right so hoping that fellow members can help me. I’m on a PCP 36 Deal 1 Year in on a Mineral Grey and looking to get the M Performance Exhaust but they were like £2400 Fitted new, I’ll probably buy the car outright after year 3 as its too fun but want to keep my options open just in case...

So I've read up on multiple forums about this myth that the reason e46s (among others) sit lower on the right is that the the car was designed to have say a 80-90kg person sat on the left which would balance out the car. I can't find any proof of this but seems a good reason for it. I recently...

Hi all, I have an E46 M3 track car, which is fitted with Sparco Pro 2000 seats and racing harnesses. The factory passenger occupancy mat sensor and associated wiring has been removed from the car, as have the pre-tensioners. I was planning to code out these sensors from the MRS4 module...

Hi just got into the car today after it had been parked up for almost a month. It has been outside in real heavy rain and it has been very cold for a few weeks( incase this info has a bearing!!) after about 5 mins driving the screen which was fine to begin with started shaking and braking up...

Hi everyone. I currently have an E60 530D M Sport LCI but i am thinking about getting a M135i. Looking at an older 64 plate and a newer 15 plate, both 3 door...one white, one black. They both have the same interior with the nicer steering wheel, heated seats (really wanted this option), etc...

Are there any obvious things that I can look at or do when looking at a second hand 3 series. There used to be a set of practical checks that we would do in the 90's, but with current cars I am aware that there is so much more going on. Are the main checks paperwork, and checking existing...

Hi, I came here last when I might have been looking at losing the company car, well it has happened, 116d has now gone. So I'm in the market for a car, main choices were Audi, Merc or BMW. As I'm a BMW fan that is the option. With regards to model, I still like the 3 series. One of the key...

My CIC headunit essentially blew up on my 2012 F10...can I buy a replacement (exactly the same part number) on eBay and get it re-coded to work in my car? My local indie says he can code a brand new one but is not sure whether he can re-code a second hand one?? Desperate to avoid having to buy a...

Just seen a 2001 318i with a M3 badge on the back. Not even an M badge, but M3!!! If I was giving the car an MOT I'd fail it simply on that. It's times such as this I wish there was a face-palm emoji. Can we just please stop with the M badges all over the place please?! Sent from my...

As thread title. I am looking at a remap on my M2 to freshen things up a bit. Anybody got any first hand experience? Lots in the USA but not much over here.

Hi everyone, I used to have a 1998 325i coupé which I absolutely loved, but it guzzled petrol around town like a thirsty tramp. I then got an MR2 T-bar, which was fun to drive, but the build quality by comparison made it a not very nice place to be sat everything just felt a bit plastic-y. So...
