• I bought a a 52 reg MGTF 1.8 135 17 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  In the face of an increasingly huge bill to bring the BMW up to scratch (MOT plus a large bodywork bill to deal with rust) I decided not to bother and I've swapped her for a 52 reg MGTF 1.8 135. I know, I know that they're two entirely different cars, but the MG was the only thing that I could swap the BMW for that would offer a similar level of fun.
• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 30K since last Service - no oil change please it's 16 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  The mis-firing was £100+ VAT - the coil must be the expensive bit as there was only 45 mins or so between start & finish of the work. In true BMW style the owner had arrived with dipped headlights + spot lights on at 8:30 {And in true BR style, within 24 hrs of the last mention of lighting abuse, it gets yet another one ;0) - DD} Anyone want to buy a 318, Silver, 3yrs old, 1 careless owner........................

• BMW 318i cold performance 12 May 2006 (Forum)
  Hi I got rid of the old Laguna and got myself a shiny E46 BMW 318i SE. I am really pleased with it but it has one strange habit. It starts great, pulls when stone cold like a tug but when the temperature gauge hits the top of the blue mark the car acts like the accelerator pedal is disconnected.
• Ignition or carburetor problem. BMW 316 4 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I have 1.6 liter '87 E30 BMW 316 with Pierburg 1B2 carburetor and LPG conversion. It has only 30000 miles on the clock, and was not in use for 7 years (but was started and let at idle for ~20 min every month). I started to use it now, and all worked perfect for 1000 miles, but now engine is shaking at idle.
• BMW 1 Series. 29 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Well, SWMBO has had thoughts about changing her MINI. She fancied a BMW 120d so we booked a test drive. We had a couple of unsupervised hours with a 5k miler 118d manual. Somewhat disappointed I'm afraid. The engine was lively enough (bearing in mind she wants the even livelier 2.0litre)albeit with an irritating flat spot.
• "Flushing oil" BMW 325 TD 22 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  i'm new here and have searched for info and read a few of the oil related threads before launching in and posting a question. I have just purchased a very abused BMW 325 TD 94 (L) 134,000 mls. the oil is very black and has that gritty feel when rubbed between finger and thumb. i have no history on the car and this was reflected in the price i paid for it.. .. cheap as chips i hope.. ..
