• What price BMW Mini? 20 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Driving past my local Stephen James BMW Mini dealership the other day, I saw, outside on the forecourt a new (presumably) Mini convertible in white/cream with a price tag of some £27k+, in the windscreen. Doing only a modicum of research, I could not find what type of Mini this could be to cost that amount of money - does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?
• BMW petrol guage 7 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  I have a 5 series BMW, bought recently, and two days ago the petrol guage was showing half way between empty and a quarter full. The low fuel warning light wasn't glowing, which comes on normally when you have around a gallon and a half left in.

• 1991 BMW 525 Auto Gearbox Problem 4 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have recently purchased a BMW 525i auto as a bit of a project. Problem is it drives as though its stuck in one gear (3rd I think) and is very slow on pick-up and sounds as though the automatic clutch is slipping. Also the wee message display below the speedo reads TRANS something and to refer to the owners manual... very handy... if you actually have one!!
• bland or prestigious 20 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  thank you everyone for your comments on my lexus or bmw forum. i must admit bmw are well engineered and build quality is superb. but i have noticed they look like clones of each other now 3, 5, 7 series. no character anymore. i bet there's bmw owners who have loads of problems with there cars and been converted to lexus. they use to be quite exclusive but there common as other cars now. the new honda civic is going to scare the blue rinse brigade its aimed at the younger market.
• bmw e46 touring rear wiper 19 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I've checked fuses and contacts on rear lid, all ok. She's in for a service next week and I'd really like to get it fixed before having to pay bmw for the privelege. I've looked for relays but can't find them. Any help is very gratefully recieved. Mike.
• BMW 645 7 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Now I've stuck with BMW through all this Bangle business but even I confess the 7 wasn't the nicest looking thing in the world - neither was the 5. But I knew they were good cars. However, who will join me in staying the 645 is absolutely gorgeous?
• BMW 530d service- minimum for a stamp 9 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Need to sell the 530d. It still has one green service light illuminted, but we have decided to send it to BMW for a service so it has the full five green lights at point of sale. Last service was an inspection 2, so i presume the next is just an oil service. What i want to know is, will they stamp the book if they find, for example, the rear pads are a bit low, and i decide not to let them replace them while its in for the oil service?
• Technical manual - BMW 320d 17 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Not that I want to dismantle the car, rather would like to learn a lot more about how it was put together. Nothing seems to be available for private owners from BMW themselves. USA based sources of technical manuals are plentiful but don't cater for the 320d which is not actively marketed there. Haynes haven't published a manual for this vehicle as yet. Any ideas anyone?

  HI re: bmw 318 i 1999 model auto My car recently had its air mass sensor changed and know all is well, plugs were changed as well. On two occassions recently when gradualy slowing down at traffic lights the car started to idle roughly as if it was about to cut out.
• 2001 BMW 3 Series Airbag problem? 4 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Has anybody seen this recurring fault with the BMW airbag system. The fault manifests itself with the airbag warning light failing to go off after the car is started. I'm now up to the 4th visit to the dealership to see if I can get it rectified.
• Bleeding cooling system BMW 18 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I replaced the antifreeze on friend\'s 5 series bmw 6 cyl. 1994. Job done... started it up, the temp. started rising well over half way, steaming all over the engine compartment. Tried to bleed it again on those two bleeders on top of radiator and on thermostat housing, no improvement.
• BMW spare wheel size 8 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I'd prefer something more substantial but the front rims are 8inch wide and the rears 8 1/2.The answer would seem to be to carry an 8inch and drive carefully if used on the rear. I phoned BMW customer service who said that that would be illegal but that the skinny space saver was not.Can anyone shed light on this? What spares do X5 sports and 5 Series sports,(which have different size wheels) carry.
• BMW 525d SE (2001) 25 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  BMW 525d SE (Y reg) Manual Cloth Have been offered a v.good deal on the above car. Has anyone got any experience or advice on this model ? I have driven and was very impressed with the 530d and 330d autos,(loved the drive,power and economy).But the damned things are still pricey for me.
• Car parts 6 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Inthis weeks Auto Bild there is a concern about spare parts for reasonable new vehicles.VAG said it was not producing certain parts for cars over 4 years old and BMW over six years old.Zenon headlights pre 93 are no longer available for BMW ,they can be sourced from Hella but a cost in Germany of 2000? you must buy two.If you have a BMW / over 5 years old with a few faults unless you can source parts at a scrap yard then it is cheaper to scrap it and buy another with a mot ticket.
• Audi A6 Avant v BMW 5 Series Touring 15 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  I'm looking at buying a 3 yr old diesel, probably a 1.9TDi Audi or 525d BMW with circa 30,000 to 40,000 miles on the clock. Apart from Climate Control I'm relaxed about spec. and intend to keep it for 2 - 3 yrs. I do about 25k per annum. Any thoughts on the conparison between running costs for the two cars?
• BMW cylinder bore wear 10 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  Its a bit of an old chestnut now but having just bought a 2 year old BMW 520i SE I am concerned that I may have a Pre Steel lining one. It was registered in Dec 98 with an M52 Engine. The Data plate gives a manufacturing date of Nov 98.It has covered 52000 miles and drives like a dream.
