• BMW 7 Series 3,0 diesel - Oil consumtion 10 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  I know that some cars have a declared oil consumtion. While on my vw I top it up with 1liter every 5-6000km, the BMW seems to be more thirsty with 1liter every 800-1000km. The engine seems to be in good health with no bluish smoke at the tailpipe, but are there any known problems to this specific engine or manufacturer?

  I have been quoted circa £2500 by a BMW main dealer for the replacement of the ACC ( after charging £120 for 20mins for telling me why my cruse control was not working ) .

• BMW 3 Series GT - Did SAAB have it right all along 27 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  It just struck me as ironic though that Saab went chaing the 4 door compact exec market and lost out badly and now companies like BMW will making handsome profits on cars of a similar design concept to the 1998 Saab 900 / 93. I know they are long gone but would they have survived if they stayed true to their design principles ?

• BMW X5, Mercedes ML, Porsche Cayenne - 4x4s with no DPF? 18 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Diesel obviously offers some MPG and residual value advantages, but the risk of turbo and injector issues along with the dreaded DPF clogging. Does anyone know when BMW X5, Mercedes ML, Porsche Cayenne etc got DPFs. Will there be someearlier years that did not get this technological "advance"? Any suggestions appreciated along with views on which makes the best used buy.

• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - Tyre Pressures 2 May 2009 (Forum)
  When this converts to PSI it seems an awful lot compared to any other car I have had. Now whilst I'm sure that they know what they talking about, can anybody advise if this usual for BMW/e46 s or is it because its the Touring ? PS I had to put a lot of air in the rears especially. Many thanks P

  Aparently this problem is "well known". Can anyone enlighten me? I expect it to be pricey - the car has been BMW serviced from new. Is it worth asking for "contribution" ?! My wife says, at 50k miles, it's time she had a 320CI......... What a way to start retirement!!
• 'BMW syndrome' amongst HGV Drivers? 10 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  The recent (very informative) thread on HGV gearboxes has reminded me to ask a question which has had me wondering..... Does an equivalent "BMW syndrome" exist in trucking circles? I use the term without any particular prejudice towards drivers of the marque , but I hope it's understood what I mean. For instance, would a trucker say, "just look at that - typical Eddie Stobart/Norbert Dentressangle driver!!"
