• BMW 1 series 2005 - 2008 - Can i upgrade my BMW 1 series interior to M Sport? 17 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  Hi all, is it possible to upgrade my BMW 1 Series trim from the basic to the M SPORT trim? At present it does not have the arm rest and has the basic radio system installed. Is it possible to bring it to a garage and get it upgraded to the M SPort trim which includes the arm rest and also upgrade my radio system too?
• BMW 1 Series 118d - BMW N47 Timing Chain 22 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  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.
• BMW 3-Series E92 Coupe (2006 - ) - BMW floppy wipers 4 Sep 2008 (Forum)

• 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".
