  1. BMW 4 Series - Tech Talk F32,F33,F36,F82,F83
    Some advice gratefully received: I have a 435D, probably one of the best cars I've had! And the A/C has just stopped working, 2 months out of warranty... grrr. So, I've paid the £90 to find out the condenser has failed (not due to damage) but the dealer has requested a BMW contribution...

    Had 5 series for years, got latest in October last year, a 520d with 150k miles on the clock. Went as expected, 55 - 58 mpg on motorway and 36mpg on commute.

    Hi guys, I had a very hard brake pedal in December which was found to be a faulty servo. The car has done 150k miles now and wasn't well maintained until I got hold of it a few years ago, so I didn't think much of it. I got it replaced, and I had the best brakes the car's ever had since I've...

    My rad level light came on Friday. I opened the cap and it took 1l of water. now I havn't seen any leaks and there is no mayo under the cap or on the dipstick. my question is the obvious. has any one else had this issue? I expect it shouldn't really ever need topping up, only on services?
