This is a summary of work done on my 745i since buying it at 70,000 miles (not including service items) This is the most work I have done on any car in 40 years of motoring and explains why they are cheap to buy. This is only a brief summary, most of these faults took many hours of diagnosis...

Hi, I'm looking at sourcing an X1 for the wife, replacing her 2.5 Z4 for something a little more practical. currently looking at MY10/11 - I get that it would be best to tip over to the 12 models for the efficient dynamics, however we are being held back as we also want a bit of spec too...

Hi all, I haven't been on the forum for quite some time as I haven't had a lot to say, but now I would like advise. I am thinking of changing my 318i for either a Z4 2 litre or a Mercedes SLK 200.

Hi all, There's a 2004 535d which I want to buy, I've placed a deposit subject to inspection. I could get the AA to do one of their used car inspection jobs, or I could find a local BMW specialist who could potentially do a better job for me. So does anyone know any good BMW specialists near...
