• BMW 3 series service 3 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I currently own a 98 S reg 318ti sport with a full BMW service history at 70600 miles. With a service 1 or 11 coming up fairly soon, I was hoping for some advice on whether it is worth keeping this up or whether a BMW specialist but non dealership service would maintain the value the same?
• BMW 525d V Audi 1.9 TDI 8 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Hi all, Opinions please, just turned 25 and looking around for my next car and narrowed it down to these two. Audi is the sensible car, plenty of miles and all very economicial around town too, BMW is the car that ive always wanted especially the Sports version, but i know even with the huge tank it isnt going to be as economical as the Audi locally. Which one would you choose, go with the heart (BMW) or head (Audi)?

• BMW 3 Series Touring (2017) - Head Unit issue 3 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  The head unit in my BMW turns itself off and back on again every now and then.  It can go weeks without an issue, and then other times it can swtich itself off several times in a day. I've been led to believe that a software update by BMW would be the best possible option.

  I am looking/was looking at purchasing a BMW 1 Series 118d. The car was registered October 2009. I'm very concerned to be reading about timing chain failures on this engine. I believe the crank was changed from 01/09 so the car i'm looking at should have this new crank fitted from the factory.
• BMW Z3 Roadster (1997 - 2003) - Stolen BMW Z3M, help needed 8 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Ladies and Gents, A chap in North London (Edgware) has had his pride and joy nicked, by house burglars entering his house and stealing his keys. The car is an Estoril Blue BMW Z3M, reg no: 'W702SKJ'. The owner is concerned (probably correctly) that it will be broken down into parts, but some of those parts ought to be well recognisable if offered for sale on the various sites.

  Can anyone give me advice? I am on the second set of BMW wiper blades for an E92 coupe, and I replaced the first set after 12,000 miles. The windscreen appears to be permanently marked, right across the driver's field of vision, probably following a piece of grit caught on the blade.
• BMW 320td - worth buying a warranty? 14 May 2007 (Forum)
  After replacing turbo, ECU needs to be reprogrammed. Also instances of injector failure. BMW says that only EU3 320d engines built before October 2003 are affected by the turbo problem". Other BM forums seems to support this. The car's done 69k miles, with full BMW SH, and seems in good condition with no funny noises.

• Unsafe new BMW 5 series. 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Do you think that BMW will modify the 1000's of cars that do not meet the EuroNCAP level of safety? It is interesting to note that the 1 series also needed a retest, but the result is better than the 5.
• Porous BMW Heads ???? 13 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I am trying to negotiate up the price of a trade-in BMW 318iSE E46 model which has done 78000 miles and today the salesman set his line in the sand price by saying that "he could only go £50 higher because of its high mileage, according to the mechanics, it will need a major service soon and a head change as it is well known than BMWs have porous heads".
