• BMW 5 Series F10 - BMW purchased with Recall notice 5 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  I have tried to reason with the seller to provide me £150 for my cost of additional insurance for the hire car, provide me a free service and extended warranty of 3 months, when I get car back from BMW, he refused all. I admit the car does not show up in the DVLA recall search, when checking there, but it took BMW exactly 5 minutes to tell me this. And this dealer shop claimed he had worked for BMW for almost 20 year before he started his own dealership.

• BMW Steering/Suspension Alignment 25 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  This is further to the discussions we have had on the value of having a franchised dealership carry out steering and suspension checks on BMWs. I had heard that ATS do a very good job of 'tracking' so I asked the local branch if they could check and set my 1992 BMW 525. They apologised and said that it had to be done by a BMW dealer. I asked why and was told that BMWs and Mercedes are upmarket cars that need special treatment.

  Buying a new BMW - should I have a tracker or kill switch installed? 27 Sep 2021 (Ask HJ)
  I have a new BMW on order, would it be sensible to have an auto electrician fit a hidden kill switch, so it can’t go missing? Or fit a tracker?
• BMW 1 Series - Bmw 1 series auto - worst driving position ever ! 14 Jun 2019 (Forum)

• BMW 5 Series - 2017 5 Series Review 30 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  One thing I wish journalists would stop saying about BMW is that their cars are always evolutionary. That is a well known fact in the motor industry that BMW evolve and just continue to make things better rather than start from scratch. A colleague of mine worked for BMW in Munich and it was standard practice.

• E90 BMW 320Si guages in dash 12 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Hi BR's I've just taken delivery of my new company car - a BMW 320Si and have been driving around for the last week running her in. (1000 miles in 5 days) I've come across a few oddities. They may be common knowledge to other E90 BMW owners but as its my first company car/BMW/new car please excuse my ignorance. 1) There is no temperature guage in the dash - The handbook informs me that there is a warning light in the event of the engine overheating!
