• BMW 1 Series E81/E87 (2004 - ) - 06 130i M-Sport Engine Tappet Noise 8 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  When the engine is cold, or if it has been driven a short distance, left, then started up some time later, there is an intermittant tappeting noise coming from the engine. The first time i called BMW service out and it didn't make the noise. It went to my local dealer who changed the oil and couldn't find any problem. Since then it has been doing it on an intermittant basis, but ALWAYS when the engine is cold.

• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 318 low power when cold 26 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I have a BMW E46 2003, 318 M Sport Convertible. When I start the engine from cold it idles at about 1000 RPM, a few minutes later when it has warmed up slightly the revs drop to around 650-700RPM which I think is normal behaviour.
• Sat Nav problem 10 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I asked for the work to be done under warranty.... not unreasonable, the car is just less than 3 years old, and surely a DVD based sat nav system is designed specifically so that the customer can upgrade the discs. As far as I'm concerned the car is faulty"and that BMW should pay for the software to be upgraded... On the basis that new versions of software are constantly being released to "bug fix" potential faults, wouldn't you expect a BMW approved used car to be at the latest software level when you buy it?
• Omega 2.5TD (BMW) strange power loss 16 Nov 2004 (Forum)

• found out my car has been clocked 19 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  before you all say you should have checked and yes i know i should have, why is it when we see a car we want we go all out to get it? I bought a 1997 R plate BMW 328i coupe auto with 54k on the clock. I cant get into the "BMW driving experience" so im going to change it. Ive gone to a garage and after a bit of digging around, or the fact is ive been informed that 2 years ago at a BMW garage has had the vehicle in for what ever, it had 82k on the clock. 9 months later it has gone in to a BMW garage and it is recorded as 44K on the clock.
