When I purchased my auc last year I had a map subscription thrown in with the car for a year which has just expired

I can purchase another 12 months for £49. Is this cheap? I’m sure I saw it advertised at £99 in the past

I purchased the car as an ex demo, it was 8 months old, with a list price of £72000 and a purchase price of £45000.

I sold it almost exactly 3 years later as a part exchange and got £24500 for it. Two weeks later it was advertised by a dealer for £31990 and was on their site and autotrader for 5 days....

After a year in a Golf GTD, I was getting itchy feet to get back into a BMW. We still have the Macan as the family car and the golf was only ever meant to be a run about for me to use for work. The Golf served me well to be fair, but it just wasnt special enough, so I sold it a couple of weeks back.
I set myself a budget of £12k and managed to get this lovely 640d M Sport 2016 LCi with 63K miles in Carbon black for £11k. Such a lot of car for the...

The car is 3.5 years old, 27,000 miles, so out of Bimmer warranty, but pinged a note to my favourite service bod, Steve Collett. One of the service staff called me and made an appointment.

Wheel corrosion]]> 15 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:23:41 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/640i-gran-coupe-boot-lid.4231/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/640i-gran-coupe-boot-lid.4231/ invalid@example.com (Jon123) Jon123 So the rubber around the boot lid (on the inside) has come loose

what’s the best way of re attaching it ? Do I need to purchase a new one or can I just stick it back? If it’s ok to stick back what’s the best product to use ?

a response ASAP would be appreciated due to the bad weather of late

just wanted some advice please.

My alloys are being refurbished and I’ve been told 2 of them need straightening out.
I’d like to ask, I’ve just had the car mot done around 3 weeks ago and it passed without any issues

is it possible they need straightening ? I’ve not had any issues apart from being advised I have uneven wear and the tpms light came on last week on 1 wheel.

i put uneven wear down to needing wheel alignment and tpms light due to the hot weather recently

Any advice...

As you probably know I have a 640i gran coupe which I understand has the n55 engine

I commute to work each day approximately 7-10 miles each way with a mixture of dual carriageway and town driving with traffic.

start/stop is switched off on it

I get around 21mpg according to the trip computer.

Is this normal or should I be getting much more?

Thanks as always

Looking for low dust pads - car is driven occasionally, mainly for a longer drive, and prob not too 'spirited' either.

Which pads would you consider - BMW OE / Brembo / EBC Red stuff?

looking at getting a black vue camera installed. Found 2 installers who can potentially do this :

Baros technology in Maidstone- offers onsite install

ttw in Nottingham - have to go to them for this

Both look like they are BlackVue distributors

anyone had any experience of either company?

looking for someone who does a professional job on the 6 series I recently Bought

To summarise, turned out the car had some issues :

- O/S/F coil spring has signs of white type of touch up paint which some people use to mark it when removing and installing to fit back to...

I've had this car about two years and it was runing fine until about three months ago when it started pulling to the left when braking. BMW said the OSF Caliper was broken and needed changing, so I got it changed with an original BMW caliper a few weeks ago, but as soon as I left the garage it was still doing exactly the same thing.

Last week the front OSF Brake started binding and got so hot that it discoloured the wheel. So I took it to another garage and they saw the brake hose...
