F32 2 Door Coupe. 420i Sport Auto. Registration Date 09/2016. Purchased from Main BMW Dealer in 03/2017 some 50 miles from my home. My BMW is serviced at a BMW main dealer local to where I live. I believe this query I have relates to all BMW's with the cars vehicle data and service history...

The symbol of the little car on the ramps! Is currently showing 4200 miles which I should cover in about 2 months. From what I read it's a licence to print money by scaring owners into taking their BMW's back to the dealership for a worthless 80 point check. Recently I've changed the oil & oil...

Hi My car is not smooth in acceleration especially when cold although it is not that bad but noticeable, is this normal and what can it be causing this? I have serviced vehicle, cleaned mass airflow sensor, replaced all 4 ignition coils, replaced spar plugs, used Petrol Fuel Injector Cleaner...

This thread is more so to get insiders knowledge based on your own experiences, before anyone mentions "use the search bar" I will outline the information I found below but would like some bits clarified, as this would be a first time purchase for a vehicle of this type/value. Some background...

Hi all, Just got a weird "inconsistent vehicle configuration" error message, alongside "SOS call system failure" (which I don't have), and all brake pads worn out (which is not the case). Took it to a local no-brand garage for a quick diagnostic scan and they could only see 1 error which was...

Evening chaps, Just wondering if any body on here can point me in the right direction. Recently purchased X1 as title, vehicle is an approved used BMW. From the start I have had a vibration coming through it seems the bulkhead/ floor on the vehicle upon first take off from cold and upon...

I recently bought a 2008 330D Touring without a radio in it. I found several suitable ones on ebay, so today I phoned the local BMW dealer to see if one can be unlocked for my car. The dealer told me that BMW radios are coded to the car they came with and can't be fitted to other BMW's, however...

Hello all, My 2013 520D doesn't come with the software which allows me to have Bluetooth Audio (for music via my iPhone). I can only use Bluetooth to make and receive phone calls. This in itself is not completely uncommon. I am currently using an Auxiliary cable to listen to music form my...

Hello all, I'm an electronics guy, and I've just bought an elderly E46, I'm going to throw together some basic guides for multimeter fiddling with the E46, much of this can of course be carried over to many many vehicles, however the E46 is the vehicle I have in front of me. These guides...

Hi chaps, I am a new and proud owner of a 2013 520D (in dark grey) which I've had for a little over a week now. I am over the moon with the car but one slightly annoying issue has popped up which I am hoping to have some light shed on. So here is the issue..................I am hearing a 'fan'...

Hi everybody I have a French registered LHD 2008 E91 335d. Can any kind member of the forum clarify the difference between a vehicle inspection and a vehicle check? The car computer tells me that the inspection is due next month but that check is not due until 2020. Is an inspection likely...

Good evening, I have a quick query regarding the vehicle check service. Recently, I completed an oil service myself and saved a great deal of money!. I reset the oil service light, however after completing the oil service the vehicle check service light came on saying it was due in 100 Miles...

Hey guys and gals, new to the forum, A year or two ago I bought a slightly battered, beaten, wonky and crusty 328i coupe manual. Was used as bit of a drifter by the previous owner so had some budget coilies, m50 inlet already done up front and a welded diff in the rear. Fell in love with the...

Hi all, I have used the search but it didn't answer my question.. If someone drove (ferry) a car to the UK with the goal to permanently import it, this requires the car arrival to be registered to HMRC via NOVA within 14 days. The person does not know when the car actually landed and...
