Hello, Its not in any of the BMW books .  On both my E53's and E39  the green lights are  a count down to service interval . ( Oils service, Inspection I , inspection II) . The orange clock symbol ............ comes up ANNUALLY  and is for your annual inspection. ( body anticorrosion and general vis...

Wow....................result. You want to print/frame that. I bought an AUC car from a dealer and the day after delivery it broke down. Was recovered to my local BMW main agent and when they plugged it in was full of faults. BMW warranty refused to pay for the work saying car had been sold with pre...

Hi , You need to find awheel alignment centre that has a Huntsman machine and an operator that knows what he is doing. Factory tolerances for tracking are quite wide.  Just for the sake of this example, lets say factory tolerance is from +5 to -5. So as long as the number is between that range your ...

Er....................no . You are mistaken . Its all about £££££££. They may have opened the bonnet, and had the handle broken then they would have probably dealt with it. But lubricate and adjust if necessary or even consider the cable may stretch beyond the operational limit ? Not a bloody  chanc...

I had a look , seem to have different part numbers................still doesnt mean its that different. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ZW62-EUR-04-2013-E70N-BMW-X5_40dX&diagId=52_3305 I think the best bet / cheapest option is to find a local trimmers who can take that cover off and...

Oh dear..............it all leaves a very bad taste. It is not my field, but I would be tempted to talk to someone on " trading standards ". If it is advertised as leather and it turns out not to be then thats...........whats the correct terminology ? Lying ?. Thing is, they won't replace ...

You won't be able to drive in the morning after 2 bottles of wine...................

Suggest alternative method of inducing sleep ...........!!

Ooooo long important title. Lets hope he can fill it. I have just looked at your picture again. I may be wrong, but...................I have never seen leather crack like that............... Ever. I am the wrong side of 50 and had countless cars, some of them with mileage that would make the millenn...

Interesting.............. Every time we released the handbrake on the E70 and reversed off the drive the brakes would squeal. It would do it every time. As the car was under warranty it went to the main dealer to have it checked. Car came back with nothing wrong with it sir. Next day same again , st...

Hi,

wobble only under braking ? Probably is disks and pads. However most other wobbles I would immediately go for control arms. Known problem with BMW's . Normally get a shimmy between 50-60 mph as an indication and also at times under breaking.

Go for it................ Ask for a meeting with the Dealer principal, head of service , the technician , the head of training. Take your go pro and record it ........and tell them its for training purposes. Show them the transcript of the previous meeting where every " technician " is a c...

[quote="X5Sport"] BMW UK have a very poor reputation.  They'll just pass you back to the supplying dealer and show no further interest.  Been there myself and was not impressed.  It doesn't affect them directly so they don't care. [/quote] +1 on that . I was sold a car by BMW main dealer ....

Hello, I have had mine since April 13. 1st issue was front tyres done by 9000 miles. Tried to claim from BMW for that as car was new but had no luck. Think its terrible that a new car comes out with tracking that kills 2 tyres in 9000 miles. Anyway, now sorted but only because I went and did my home...
