• BMW 330i Traveller - Have I been charged twice on some things? 30 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  At the very end of the costings was an additional £1000 which included VED, first reg fee and delivery. Now have I missed something here? (I am old) but BMW says the on the road price includes these things but the dealer has charged me for them. An explanation would be gratefully received if I have missed the obvious. Thanks.

• BMW any model - Driving Standards 31 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I travel on a dual carriageway   it’s not that long about   1 mile the speed limit is 40mph .About half way along there are traffic lights .There are on regular occasions vehicles that set off down the road like at F1 starting grid (I assume that vehicle fuel is verry cheep to some) get I guess to about 60mph only to anchor on at the midway lights they are usually on red (as they are linked lights) and then off again .If someone is doing any reasonable speed or not going fast enough in the right hand   lane then it seems it’s OK not just to break the speed limit but to cut up anyone in left lane so as to undertake because they are in such a rush. What I cannot work out is why it’s BMW 90% of the time. Are they exempt from the Highway Code? Or is just the games console attitude you get with some BMWs and is it compulsory?
• BMW 520d 2012 - Move away from run flat tyres? 25 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  I ran a 2001 BMW 530i from new for 12 years and 155k - just brilliant.  I had to replace it this year so bought a 2012 (62 plate) 520d.  It's almost as good as the previous car save in a number of respects which I think are all tyre related - it doesn't ride or corner so well, there is less road 'feel' and a considerable amount of road noise.

• BMW E34 cold start problem 12 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  Help please 1990 520i with 88000 mls and full BM service history,for the last 3 months is very difficult to start first thing in the morning. 3 visits to BMW and 3 further visits to BMW specialist has failed to resolve the problem,in fact it is getting worse. At first they said it needed a full service - no improvement,then it was a faulty ECU unit,had this replaced - it did not resolve anything,then they replaced the thermotime switch which apparently controls the cold start injector - no difference at all,and finally the filter on the fuel line (it must be partially blocked)the car has still got the original problem.They now admit that they do not know what the problem is.

• USA Motoring 21 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Those who think that all American motorists have unsophisticated tastes, and aspire to a Cadillac or Lincoln when they can afford it, might be interested in a motoring article I am reading here which lists the best 10 luxury cars under $45,000(approx 25,000 pounds) this includes domestic cars. They are: BMW 3 Series Audi A4 BMW 5 Series Audi A6 Infiniti G35 Coupe MB CLK BMW Z4 Saab 9-5 Wagon(Estate) VW Touareg Infiniti FX45 The Infiniti is to Nissan what Lexus is to Toyota. At this price the models are the top of the range often with 4WD.
