  • BMW X5 - Turbo failure BMW X5 34k 2020 no goodwill?? 14 Sep 2025 (Forum)
    So the car remains at the franchise & any advice would be welcome? The car has been serviced on time granted outside the bmw network but by a fully qualified bmw specialist with all services performed as per bmw specifications and each service updated to the bmw database using genuine parts. Surely a car of this prestige & price should be manufactured to the highest quality & covered by the manufacturer, is there an legal requirement from them?

  • BMW 320D M Sport Convertible - BMW Cracked Rims 10 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    Looks like I have been caught by the fact BMW 19" low profile rims are not fit for purpose as at 15,000 miles the dealer now tells me they will not pass a MOT. Cannot believe how many posts there are on the net about BMW rims. So rather than throw good money after bad I am thinking of down sizeing and/or moving off run-flats.

  • Run flat tyres 5 Jul 2012 (Ask HJ)

  • BMW 3 Series - BMW - Is adaptive suspension worth having? 28 Apr 2017 (Forum)
    I'm thinking of buying a BMW 320i and almost all reviews recommend ticking the adaptive suspension option even for the 318i. I'm not planning on flying around A or B roads but don't want to spoil the car for not having it. But before committing,  at £750, I'd be interested in people's experiences of driving with or without it.

  • BMW Radio display 10 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    Hi -- I'm new on here and looking for advice. Hope I'm doing this right !! I have a 6 year old BMW 530i and the radio / time display is now illegible as the pixels are quickly fading (BMW radio, factory fitted). Also got "funny" pixel shapes on the AC screen. Initial enquiries to BMW dealership suggest that it will cost £450 - £500 to replace.
