• BMW 5 series 530d or 530i 29 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  I have heard good reports about the 530d but also problems with the turbo. The 530i appeals to me because it is fast and BMW petrol engines are definately sound also I should be able to buy it for less than the diesel. Any comments from owners appreciated. Cheers Peter
• New BMW 5 series 2 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Are BMW shifting the new 5 series? My local dealer has just phoned out of the blue to offer a new 530d for a few days to replace my incredible 330d (204 bhp) which I am well pleased with. My daily driver is an eight year old Astra Td estate so I'm tempted to send them back in that!

• BMW X3 (G01) Xline 69 Plate 2 litre Diesel - Dashboard Dimming 21 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  In bright sunlight the dash including Sat Nav is bright and clear travelling into shade the whole dash and Sat Nav gets dimmer and dimmer to such an extent that the Clock/OutsideTemp/Fuel Range cannot be read it virtually disappears, the car has been returned to the dealers twice with no success. What peeves me is that the dealer received an email from BMW Technical saying that they know of this problem and have no plans for a fix. I have emailed BMW and complained but car manufacturers being a law to themselves have not had the courtesy to respond. Any help HJ would be greatly appreciated as I cannot accept that BMW KNOW there is a fault and are taking no action to remedy.
