small

Hello everybody. This is my first post in this forum and, as Jeremy Clarkson usually said, please bear with me. I have a 335d 2006 european model and has the famous " does not have boost untill 3000 rpm, feels like there is no boost coming from the small turbo "" problem. I have tested the...

Hi all, My 2 month old 3 series Estoril Blue, is showing small water/pit marks visible in certain light angles. I rejected the dealer paint protection and opted to apply some Meguirs Ultimate Paste wax. The finish initially looked pukka. I washed car yesterday, dried and misted wiped off with...

Hi all. I just bought recently my Gt and noticed that on the dashboard show " boot open" . I did turn these plastic bolts and now is doesn't open at all and still showing on dashboard. Any thoughts on this. Many thanks.

Hello there, I stupidly managed to lock my key in the car last week and proceeded to smash th small glass in the rear door to get in. 1 week on I am struggling to find a a replacement bit off glass or a how to guide as to getting the little bugger out. Any help is greatly appreciated, and yes I...

Hi all, I need a little favour from you. Would anyone be kind enough to measure the width of the sun visor from the middle of the part that clips and unclips to where the hinged part starts on the outer edge. I've attached a picture of the length that I need. Big thanks to anyone who can help...

Another small update for my car here (it's like Pringles "once you pop, you can't stop"). One small thing that I never liked the look of was the bright orange effect of the standard turn indicator lights at the front: I just don't "get on" with the bright orange patches in what is otherwise...

Hi All, To tell if you thermostat is shot you can try to blow through it.. sure enough when I purchased my thermostats from Cotswold BMW I made sure they where air tight (showing they're completely closed) now the main thermostat is completely locked off and you cannot blow any air through, but...

Re starter motor delay fault post.....I am trying to understand function of the two small wires that go to the two small terminals on the solenoid. In order to understand a delay in starter motor function that appears to be linked to the heater plug relay. I connected a 12v direct to the small...

Hi, I've just bought a 335i GT and it came with M400 Star spoke 18in rims and they look too small, I think the tyres are not low profile either so also looks a little worse. Can anyone recommend a set of 19"s ? Cheers

Hi Unfortunately I don't know the names of the headlight bulbs, so will just try to describe by position. Uk car, Front headlights, passenger side. I was replacing the outside bulb and it started to drizzle. Next thing a tiny bit of water drips onto the inside bulbs wires (potentially) Ok so...

Hi all. Only had my BMW for about 8 weeks and regularly check the oil about twice a week. Habit from previously owning an Alfa. Usually I find so white/cream stuff right at the end of my dipstick but really it's hardly noticeable and really a very small amount. I am aware this can be...

So I noticed my radiator was bowing like crazy, so decided at 87k to replace the following: Rad, Upper and Lower hose, ET, both level and temp sensors, thermostat+housing and the pump. Everything went surprisingly well, car runs great and does what it should, except occasionally (usually after...

After some advice / guidance please. My 635d is suddenly lacking power in the lower rev range. Below 3k it is sluggish and even if you push the pedal to the carpet, there is no urge. At 3k the power comes in and it pulls hard to the redline. It's only done 42,000 miles and has fsh so I'm...

Here is another 335d that was already tuned when the customer came in for a remap and Dyno testing E92 335D - BW Chiptune Remap I'm seeing more and more 335d from the middle of the U.K. upwards tuned badly which make a small bit extra power as they have been tuned by someone or some company...

ok so iv just bought a e46 320d which has a few little problems. 1- abs light, warning light and hand brake lights are on. the guy that sold it to me said he has had a guy come out with a diagnostics machine and says its the abs pump. how easy are they to replace? and what do i need to do? 2-...

I was thinking back to when I bought my BMW (94 320i SE Manual) and how much negativity there is about the 2.0 six cylinder Engine (It was about 9 months ago). Similarly when I was looking at the E30's the one rule seemed to be avoid the 320i. Common consensus appears to be a 318iS is better? -...

Hi recently i got a usb to obd2 cable and the software for it. just using INPA for basic checks on the car any faults. first of all i get a versions do not match as shown in the first pic. Also when i do engine diagnostics it reads some errors ........but theyre in german and everything else is...

Hi guys, I have a 2007 335D and when driving it last weekend I noticed that there was no power what so ever, both turbos will not spin up. Both went at exactly the same time. I have checked the vaccum hoses on the left hand side of the engine but cant see anything wrong. I have replaced the...
