Anybody any idea Why my automatic takes a while to engage into drive especially in morning when has not been in use? I have checked the obvious gearbox fluid level.

Today, I turned the engine on and engine was making some vibration/shakiness to the cabin but after ~5 seconds stopped and was running normally (had AC on). I started driving and the car was jerking a lot in 1st, 2nd and less in 3rd gear and no jerkiness in 4th and 5th gear. Also, when I'm...

Hi everyone, Bit of background: Ive owned my E46 323ci for about 7 years now, never really missed a beat other than the usual little things. Done a lot of work myself covering something like 100 separate jobs when things have needed replacing, every squeak and rattle sorted as it occurs. 184k...

That said, after 8 years ownership, still feel good walking up to my daily driver Diamondswartz 530i despite over...

How long does it take to take apart the inside of the car so you can attach a cable to the back of the Business stereo edition of the bmw radio system so you can wire into the secret compartment behind the gearbox a little mp3 player vis an audio jack?

Hi. I have a 2002 330ci sport. I had to take avoiding action last week due to some asshole driver. I hit the curb on the passenger side. Apart from the rim needing a refurb Now the steering wheel action in both directions seems to be looser than what it was and not as tight and positive. After...

Hi, I have just bought an e46 320d touring to replace my Seat Leon mk1 due to needing a bit more space because I am going to be driving around France in June for Euro 2016 with a few mates from uni! So far I am loving it, such a nicer place to be behind the wheel compared to the leon. However I...

I have recently bought a 2002 E46 320d touring from an elderly chap who has given up driving. It has only done 56k miles. I had noticed a strange buzzing noise coming from the in line fuel pump under the front passenger seat whilst driving. I also noticed the pump 'priming' noise when the car is...

Hi I'm fairly new to this forum; I've had my brand new BMW M4 for just over a week now, absolutely love it and every time I drive it I learn something new! There's around 800 miles on the clock already (I know!) and its due its first service in a couple of hundred miles. This has happened...

Hello Picked up an E60 LCI about 2 weeks ago. The car was lovely and in immaculate condition. It had the DPF warning light on but it stated it was safe to drive for now. The dealer @ the time promised that the car would be checked free of charge and he would pass it to a trusted Indy to get...

Guys for those who are still waiting to have their cars booked in to have the recall undertaken by your local BMW dealers which I'm sure is many on here please take this as a heads up when you drop it in for the work. Ask the dealer to NOT WASH your cars. Kos who some of you know had his E46...

Hi. First post here and really hoping someone can help....It may be a bit long winded so apologies. Question is: Has anyone experienced a remap not taking to the car? Details: I took the car (2007 E91 330d M57 engine) to a reputable garage for a remap - they've done loads here and have a good...

Hi guys, am new to this online forum stuff but have come to find some really knowledgable bmw drivers. Was wondering if it's normal for my '02 e46 325ci to take around 10mins to reach normal temperature after overnight start up. Runs fine but just not sure if it should be taking that long. Thanks

I took on a E90 320d earlier in my E46 and beat it just wondered if anyone here has a similar experience. I think it depends to a degree on the driver but i still beat it :)

Hi My car used to take longer time to start intermittently (3 probably 4 seconds - Every once in like 20 times ) other times (most of the times) it'd start up instantly. Since the last few days (and I've started the car only a few times) it is constantly taking longer to start. I just had it...

Hello all, I'm currently thinking of purchasing a nice Alpina C1 E30 and giving it a thorough cleaning, and sitting it in my garage. I have no experience with cars being still for long periods of time, will the bushes and other rubber parts perish if left inside? Any other maintenance to...

Just an update on my Touring. She's had a proper clean, clay and polish, and one or two new bits. A new viscous fan shroud was needed, so I fitted that. You can get it on without removing the fan. However the little plastic fasteners came off at speed and the whole thing hit the fan and craced...
