Hi! Can anyone tell me why my auto level warning comes on when i have weight on the back end of the car? It is fine if there is no weight at back end. Seems to build up pressure no problems but then lets it all out soon as its full! Wondering if there's a faulty valve that keeps the air in? Any...

My 2008 530d, 76k miles, recently suffered a catastrophic autobox failure costing £3,200 to repair - see my previous threads for the sorry saga! I have read that if a car is to be used for towing, BMW will upgrade the cooling system but I have no idea what this upgrade might consist of. I used...

Hey guys, Know next to nothing about BMW's, but potentially about to buy one (tonight!). Its an E39 530d auto. I've driven an E39 530d manual before, and used it for towing, and just loved it! Now I need one of my own! However, from looking around & reading, manuals are quite rare, so I'm...
