• BMW 3 series headlight washers 9 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  I have recently had to pay my local BMW dealer to repair a water leak from the nearside headlight washer. This proved to be expensive. Now the offside is leaking. Is it an easy job to repair/replace the parts or would I be well advised to swallow hard and book the car in to the dealer to repair?

• BMW 320d? 12 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  New job means need to buy a car. Have about 8k to spend, and will be doing upwards of 20k miles a year. Had settled on a BMW 320d, which can pick up for 7.5k with 66k miles on clock. However, research has suggested various horror stories about turbo failure. Any advice welcome. Cheers Tim

  My BiL needs to re-gas the Air Con on my old 3 series...he has had an offer from a BMW dealer to have it done for £94.00 including gas and VAT. Is this a good deal ?. Apparantly the menu price is in the region of £164.00. Would he better getting quotes from an indie?

• BMW 5 Series F10 - BMW purchased with Recall notice 5 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  I have tried to reason with the seller to provide me £150 for my cost of additional insurance for the hire car, provide me a free service and extended warranty of 3 months, when I get car back from BMW, he refused all. I admit the car does not show up in the DVLA recall search, when checking there, but it took BMW exactly 5 minutes to tell me this. And this dealer shop claimed he had worked for BMW for almost 20 year before he started his own dealership.

• BMW Steering/Suspension Alignment 25 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  This is further to the discussions we have had on the value of having a franchised dealership carry out steering and suspension checks on BMWs. I had heard that ATS do a very good job of 'tracking' so I asked the local branch if they could check and set my 1992 BMW 525. They apologised and said that it had to be done by a BMW dealer. I asked why and was told that BMWs and Mercedes are upmarket cars that need special treatment.
• BMW 1 Series - Bmw 1 series auto - worst driving position ever ! 14 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I’ve not driven a floor pivot accelerator car before with such a low position before, that’s all I can think of as have driven autos , other bmw’s And low lying cars before and never had this much discomfort . I most be the only person who genuinely can’t wait for an Astra instead of a BMW ! I will miss the lovely IDrive system and gearbox, but not it’s driving position.
• BMW 5 Series - 2017 5 Series Review 30 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  One thing I wish journalists would stop saying about BMW is that their cars are always evolutionary. That is a well known fact in the motor industry that BMW evolve and just continue to make things better rather than start from scratch. A colleague of mine worked for BMW in Munich and it was standard practice.

• E90 BMW 320Si guages in dash 12 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Hi BR's I've just taken delivery of my new company car - a BMW 320Si and have been driving around for the last week running her in. (1000 miles in 5 days) I've come across a few oddities. They may be common knowledge to other E90 BMW owners but as its my first company car/BMW/new car please excuse my ignorance. 1) There is no temperature guage in the dash - The handbook informs me that there is a warning light in the event of the engine overheating!
