  • BMW X1 - Unfair MoT Failure? 1 Mar 2016 (Forum)
    I'd be ok with this except that I must have been driving around for ages without this clip, an item even the BMW spares department seemed to 'be aware of'. Even the test centre said the car was still safe. So it seems to me that the car has failed unfairly because BMW fit unnecessary brake parts that can just drop off at random, and if it does, it really doesn't matter.

    I'm wondering if there is any one out there who has fallen victim to thieve who steal BMW sport coupe bumpers and skirts? This seem to be the trend in London right now and I would like to know how to secure my skirts and bumpers so they cannot be removed from the outside of the car. BMW don't seem to be interested as they make money from victims of theft buying parts from them.

  • BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 2000 2.8 How to reset service schedule on computer 27 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    Hi all, I have just completed a full & very thorough service on my much loved BMW 328i SE & now want to reset my service schedule computer readout. Is it possible I can do this myself or does it have to be carried out by a main dealer/BMW specialist. I have done the servicing myself as I am mechanicaly minded & was not happy with it being done at the main dealer last time it was due, as I ended up doing things that had been missed.

  • BMW 320d 23 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    Hi I have a BMW 320d, apparently the turbo doesn't seem to be working well, it comes and goes when it wants to and the kick isn't strong when it does come. No smoke from the exhaust apart from the usual diesel black smoke you get when you put your foot down.
