M3's Value - please help! 8 Jul 2003 (Forum)
Hi, You may remember early last year that we purchased a BMW M3 Evolution. Well, its time to move it on for something different. Anyway, ive been trying to get valuations and they are all over the place! Parkers quoted something like £13,500 if it was sold by a dealer, however whatcar have said £15,040 privately and the bmw enthusiasts site have said my car is quite rare and should fetch at least £15,500-£16000. -
BMW E46 - Interesting approach to changing a brakelight bulb 7 Oct 2011 (Forum)
I'm so shocked/bemused by my experience at my local BMW dealership yesterday I've found myself needing to share. I have a 2005 E46 3 Series that's been left at home for a year while I toddled off to Uni with a 12yr old Hyundai I bought for £500. Back in August the BMW's MOT lapsed, and an apparent brakelight failure meant that I couldn't take it straight for an MOT. -
BMW X1 - Car Adverts pictures background 9 Jul 2022 (Forum)
Hi I was looking at used BMW X1 and found few cars at different dealers miles apart having advert pics taken with same background and style. Just getting suspicious if these are any auction site pics dealers bough the cars from and whether the car will have any damage history. -
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer - Mud guards or Mudflaps ? 20 Apr 2021 (Forum)
I can either get a set of traditional old school mud flaps or a set of the plastic, smaller, fitted mud guards, BUT, being a tight-fisted Yorkshireman I will not be paying BMW prices ! So which would be effective ? I suspect the flaps keep more muck off as they have more depth down toward the road surface but the guards look more pleasing aesthetically. Who has fitted 'What" and to what effect ? -
BMW 3 Series E90 - Looking at buying now worried CbyC b'down 27 Feb 2019 (Forum)
Hi, I have put a refundable deposit, unplanned, down on a 59 BMW 318 M sport 2.0l petrol. 49k miles full "extensive" service history, seems to be a local runaround. I'm looking at replacing a 1.6 Astra and just fancied something a bit better as bored of Vauxhall's having had at least 5 previously, doing 25k year on motorways. -
BMW 3 Series Touring - Used estate for under £5000 6 Sep 2018 (Forum)
Hi All, I'm looking to get a used reliable estate. One thing that is holding me back from some real bargains is the mileage. For example BMW 3 series touring 2008 125,000 full service history, £3500 This seems a bargain and I would expect a car like this to go over the 200,000 mile mark easy. I usually go for Volvo's as a rule but open to suggestions here. -
BMW - Why This Obsession With Old Beemers? 26 Apr 2018 (Forum)
Many young men in their twenties seem to aspire to owning a BMW. In recent years three in this area have brought old Beemers. Each one has been a money pit and was sold on within a year. One of the buyers said the only problem was an exhaust knock. This was cured by replacing the exhaust and then re building the worn out rear suspension. -
Mercedes/BMW/Audi/VW - Premium small automatic 8 Feb 2017 (Forum)
Anyway, I would like to get another premium hatchback next time that must be automatic, preferably torque converter box but also something that I can believe to be reliable for a decent length of time. Am I right in saying i should rule out 4 cylinder bmws, 1.8 mercs and anything with a dsg!?? And if so, what's left!!! 6 cylinder 1 series. Not many more?? -
BMW 3 Series - Fancy a change. Thinking of the 3 series or A4. 22 Sep 2016 (Forum)
Hi, I'm looking to exchange my Honda Civic 62 for something a bit more sporty. The 2012 BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 have caught my eye and aren't too bad on the wallet. Any thoughts on which would be the better option? Features, reliability etc. I do city driving probably 85-90% of the time so thinking petrol may be the better option. -
