My first BMW was almost my last. I bought a 4 year old at the time E61 530i with 38K miles on the clock from Williams BMW Bolton. I went to...
Not sure on JLR standards but Spuff says he has had it 4 months and 4k miles. If pads are below minimum and discs scored and worn surely this...
I really hope Rockar sort this out to your satisfaction. Now way should you be having to replace discs and pads so soon after an approved used...
I would stick to the fixed ones. A work colleague had the deployable ones on his previous full fat RR. They were very unreliable not fully...
So the U11 X1 finally arrived and we picked it up on Saturday with 5 miles on the clock. This is to replace my wife's 118i which by sheer...
Thanks for posting the link to the video. I still think that EV's are not the answer. What happened to Hydrogen power that BMW and Honda were...
As others have said I think the sweet spot in the 2 series range is the M240i with xdrive. Not sure I would want or have the talent for an M2 with...
Great write up thanks for sharing. Whole heartedly agree with you on the roads and lane discipline - France, Spain and even Italy are all way...
No problem, thanks for the quick reply, I am not sure they would fit anyway.
@Spuffington do you still have the winter wheels and tyres? I may be interested if they will fit the new U11 X1
Finally heard from the dealer that the car is actually in build and should be delivered mid March. Almost 9 months for a pretty basic X1! Now just...
@Mieke that shows restraint driving all the way home before checking. There may have been one or more occasion :whistle:when I have been out with...
Sadly I think it’s more a reflection of BMW shifting old 1 series stock before the new LCI 1 series is released. Lead times on new ordered cars...
Good to see you back Ian and all the best to everyone for 2024. How are you finding the Macan? I seem to remember you had a few issues at the...
I would suspect injectors and or HPFP. I had a N53 530i E61. Thankfully under BMW warranty as the work done by BMW on the car over my ownership...
Buy a set of winter wheels! Seriously I don't think anything will protect alloys at this time of year especially if they are diamond cut. Both...
I only paid monthly on previous two cars as they were higher miles and that was some years ago - must have changed.
I have run the extended warranty on my last 3 BMW. On the E61 530i and my first F06 640d GC it paid for itself many times over. On my current F06...
I cant comment on above but I did exactly the same for wheels for my 640d a couple of years ago. Used this company; Tyre Pressure Monitoring...
I have let my map subscription expire as I only got two updates in the last year. Decided to renew the RTTI as I do find that useful but it is...
