  • BMW 3-Series E46 - Reversing sensors 27 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    Hope someone can help. My 2002 BMW 3  series has a strange fault- as soon as reverse is engaged the reversing sensors scream loudly no matter what is behind, if anything. Can these be re-set or fixed? or a visit to the expensive BMW dealer?

  • 1 BMW reg on 760 Li 23 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    Seen on the M4 between Slough and Bracknell this evening, "1 BMW" registration plate on a 760 Li. At £80k without extras this is top of the range so was wondering to myself if this was a BMW UK car or just someone proud of his 760? The standard 7 series is big but this long wheelbase version is huge!

  • BMW 3 Series - Car buying advice - is a second hand BMW too risky 31 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    I've always been a fan of BMW cars and always wanted to get one. I found one at reasonable price - a 2008 BMW 2.0 318i SE Edition at 75k miles with full service history, MOT and great interior. General consensus and opinion on the web is to stay away from second hand premium cars such as BMW and Audi.
