t want to spend this money unless they can guarantee this will be the resolve. As you can appreciate I don?t want to waste any more money... No one at BMW has ever encountered anything like this and I feel that they have lost all interest...BMW (Spain) also refuse to contact M division in Germany which I find a bit strange? I am desperate to find any answer; I love the car but have lost all faith in my local dealership. -
Well I liked it.... 9 Feb 2003 (Forum)
Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMWlane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?)

BMW 3 Series Compact - Battery Starter Packs 4 Aug 2017 (Forum)
My car battery, still under warranty, in an old 3 Series BMW seems to be playing up. Tested by the supplier (it is a Varta brand) it usually shows as "battery good, needs charge" even after being charged fully (CTEK-MX5) a few days earlier. The voltage seems to drop quickly to as low as 12.3v and on a couple of occasions the engine turns over but with not enough welly to start the vehicle. -
