• BMW 3-Series E36 (1991 - 1998) - Adding Air Con 29 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Can anyone offer advice on the cost to add air conditioning to a 1995 BMW 3 Series? Basically, a ball park figure on cost if done at an air con specialist or difficulty of diy.
• BMW rear view mirror 18 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  My 1995 BMW 3 series just dropped its rear view mirror this weekend. Luckily its still intact. However this mirror was glued to the windscreen and I have no clue as to re-fixing it. Will any commercial quality quick-stick glue (Loctite) work?

• BMW 1 Series - VW golf MK6 1.4 TSI vs BMW series 116i (E87) 30 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  On the other hand, I am not too sure how reliable are 1.6l engines on the 116i. I am aware that BMW will be more expensive to maintain but I could save around £1k from the purchase which I can keep for future repairs. Any suggestions are welcome please.

• BMW 3 or 5 series - 320d SE or 520d SE - I am thinking of returning to BMW and buying used 19 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Hi. I would welcome any thoughts on the above. I had both cars before from Approved Used BMWs dealerships. They cost more but were of quality and reliable. I loved the 3-series but found the I-drive on the 5-series fiddly. I now drive a Honda CRv at the moment. A great allround family car.

• BMW 320D SE - BMW As & When Servicing 2 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Next will be front brakes in March, apparently. I phoned the dealer and complained subsequently and it seems BMW have moved to this "as and when" servicing basis - clearly a cynical ploy to keep people's wallets coming back. If you ignore the dashboard warnings it is (a) very annoying and (b) When the turbo inevitably fails BMW won't contribute.

• Audi/BMW 20 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  An uncle who has just retired has surprised us all by announcing that he is looking at a BMW after almost 20 years of Audi ownership. He currently has a 3 year old A4 diesel and is stricken by a two year old 320d M Sport saloon with low mileage and leather seats. He is dithering because here and on other websites, there are conflicting comments on the BMW.
• bmw warranty 17 May 2006 (Forum)
  I have a BMW 323 E46 which I took into the BMW dealer yesterday before the BMW extended warranty runs out. I bought the warranty when I purchased the car 3 years ago from the BM dealer. The dealer called yesterday stating that the car required a coolant and brake fluid change, these however were done only last year by the dealer !!.
