Hi I have a facelift 330d E46 Could someone post a picture of what their fuel reading is on number 6 of the hidden menu with a full tank as mine reads 57L when tank is brimmed. I know the tank holds 65L when full to the top of filler neck as that’s what I have managed to put in when I nearly ran...

Hey guys. Looked under the hood today, noticed that the fabric covering the wire, photo included, was pretty damp, is that supposed to happen? Also the photo includes two bits, don't know the name, these were full of water too. Cheers!!!

Hi everyone I have a 2007 auto 320 E92. I have a basic code reader for it but would like to potentially move up to a slightly more sophisticated/comprehensive solution that gives more in depth info & readings. So am open to suggestions please? Preferably mobile phone based as I don't have a...

Hi I have just bought a 2009 525i saloon, petrol Auto. The VIN record states that it was built with a 2.4 litre engine (M42). On the V5 it states that it is 2394cc. I cannot find ant listing for this model with anything other than a 2.5 or 3.0 litre engine. It was very hard to get anyone to...

Hi, I’ve got a 525d LCI MODEL, I was wondering which oil should I Use? 0w30 or 5w30?? Mileage is 122000. Also can anyone tell me where the temperature gauge is on these? Thanks for your advice

Suddenly from last years service the car started using oil. There were no obvious indications.eg. exhaust smoke or oil leaks It went from 9K to 1K. Now there are signs, from cold there is blue smoke. Sometime when I accelerate there is a cloud of smoke, but not all the time. The EGR valve...

I have a 2.0D in my 2015 X1 which is fine but drove a 2.5X1 (I think same engine but significantly more powerful) and was blown away. Intrigued: what is the difference? if they are both twin turbo 2 litre engines is it simply engine mapping or has the more powerful one got bigger turbos etc...

Hi All, I've been reading the forum a while now and I've seen a buyers guide for the 330D but not for the 2 litres. Unfortunately due to insurance costs I will not be able to go for a 3 litre but I'm looking at purchasing a 13 or 14 plate 2 litre M-Sport in January. I am leaning towards the 320D...

Hey guys been a while since i posted on here. Having enjoyed my 325D Touring for a couple of years i have taken the sad decision to sell my pride and joy and buy a van through my business. Do you know the best place to sell a decent car with fairly low mileage car privately these days. I...

Hi, First post, following lots of Googling and thread-searching. In my boat I have an 2.0 M10 engine with Pierburg 2BE carb. Fuel is dripping from the jet onto the butterfly and, given the reputation of the carb, I'd like to use this as an excuse to replace it. A Weber 32/34 carb has been...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a BMW 1 Series second hand. I was just curious as to what the differences were between 2.0 litre 116i, 118i and 120i models? I noticed the 116/118 seem to have around 122 bph, whereas the 120 has 177 bhp. Are all of these models still actually 2.0 litre engines...

Hi, all. I'm in the market for a new (well, used) car and am thinking of buying an F02 (LWB) 3 litre diesel. It was a toss up between the BMW and a Mercedes S class 3 litre diesel, but a local BMW specialist told me the S class's 'aromatic' suspension is problematic and cost a fortune to repair...

Hi all, I'm tempted by the new 3 series (looking at nearly new) but I'm concerned around the timing chain issues on the n47 engine. I've noticed that some 3ltr diesel F30 have come into my budget. Is this engine prone to any known issues and us it a more reliable unit? Thanks

Hi I would like to know if anyone has had a problem with their Hydraulic pump which controls the ABS and tracking. My car is a Z4 sports convertible 2008 and very well maintained. It has a full service history with BMW and had an extended 5 year warranty. I was quoted 2900 euros from a BMW...

My 320d is officially dead. I thought it was a great car until it had a seizure and conked. I'm now looking for a replacement, but I think I'm going to swerve the 320d. Every other thread on here contains the words '320d' and 'problems'. I know this isn't typical BMW as I've owned several in the...

could anybody tell me where i could hire or buy the tools needed to set up the camshaft and to align the vanos units. Alternatively I would be interested to hear of someone who could set these up for us......I am aware of a Dr Vanos but he has not replied to several phone calls or e mails .

Hi all, Just bought the above car and collecting on weds. How accurate is the mpg on auto trader? Can people give me a run down of their actual mpg they get around town and motorway driving? Thanks Mark
