• BMW 5 Series - BMW Customer Service 5 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  The headlight was supposed to arrive in early December but it is now the end of January and they still dont know when they might have it. The car has now run out of Mot and so it is off the road. BMW customer service are so incredibly lazy, they have not done anything other than say "we understand your frustration" without having done anything further to address the situation. I wish I could cancel the order and buy it elsewhere but they have me over a barrel because you can only buy it from them.

• BMW 3 Series - Choosing a new 2nd hand car 21 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  However if I spend all of that I won't have any money left if it goes wrong so I want a car that will be cheap to repair if I go up to my limit. I had been looking online at BMW 320D 2005/2006 under 80,000 miles when I stumbled upon this website by chance. I started reading the good/the bad section and saw stories of owners having to spend thousands on their BMWs when they go wrong.
• BMW Z4 (2003 - 2009) - Car back from service - with accident damage!!!! 30 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Z4 was in for its annual service at local BMW main dealer. Its an 04 plate car with only 30k miles and full BMW history. I tend not to use the car too often in winter if possible, it's not the best in the snow and I'm always scared of it getting damaged.
• BMW 3-Series E90 (2005 - ) - 06 2.0 Clutch judders and ocassional burning smell 15 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  But if its likely to be under warranty I would quite like to get it fixed for FREE. The only problem is that by the time BMW have opened up the gearbox to investigate, I would have racked up £500 anyways and then it might not be a good idea NOT to replace it. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
• BMW X5 E70 SUV (2007 - ) - 08 3.0 towbar issues 22 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Have just got off the floor from fainting, Requested a quote from BMW dealer for the installation of a towbar inc electrics, it was £1300.00. On top of that they have now told me that all E70 X5 models require a new larger cooling fan to be installed when towing. This fitted is another £700.00.
• BMW X3 E83 SUV (2004 - ) - Need a new car - BMW X3 or VW Tiguan? 18 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  We live in London but go away regularly, Cornwall, New Forrest etc. We come down to two cars, the BMW X3 or the VW Tiguan. We've driven both. The Tiguan is certainly more flashy but the X3 is bigger and the engine is nicer. However there's nothing swaying us towards either. The X3 could be purchased second hand at about £18k.
• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - Year ?? - 2.3 front oxygen lambda sensor 31 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I just recently returned from BMW Milton Keynes who informed me that my engine management light was on and then charged me £60 for the privilege of telling me 'why' is was on! Apparently the cause is the front oxygen lambda sensor that is situated on the outlet exhaust downpipe manifold.
• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 318 auto - what to look for? 16 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Hello all, I've been offered FiL's 318i auto, which I'm intending to buy as soon as he decides what he's changing it for. The car has full BMW service history, and has just had its Inspection 2 at 60,000 miles. I know from the CBCB that I should have the ATF changed on the auto box as BMW won't have done this, but what else should I look out for once I get it?
