Expansion tank gave up, so I decided to refresh the entire cooling system, as well as the both auxiliary belts, as they got a shower of coolant, which is certainly not the right way to treat your belts. So everything out and now it is a ten day brake until the replacement parts arrive. Wish you all a sunny weekend!

Hi guys! Long story short - expansion tank gave up after 21 years of service :) I was planning to replace the whole cooling system in the summer, but the car had other ideas. The most important thing is that it was still so kind to do so first as I already arrived into my garage and turned the engine off! A few seconds later there was a quiet pop and a distinct "fishy" smell of coolant. And there you have it, just a normal weekend in February :)

This poor soul has been left for dead... No one to love her, no one to bathe her, no one to touch her, no one to tell her that she means something to this world. Tragedy has happened deep in the woods... BEWARE OF THE WOODS.

Anyone got an E93 with a sticky passenger door handle? Tried oil and grease, wondering if any other ideas

I’ve been wanting to update the headlights on my car, and I found a guy in Russia, Autosvet Center, who updates lights. He retrofitted the adaptive LED headlights from an 2015 F15 X5. It looks fantastic and I’d love to do this to my car. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get in contact with him. If anyone knows how to do this or knows how to contact him, please let me know. This definitely the next thing I’m doing to my 7er.

I’ve got a 2007 335i... I may have been going a little too fast and encountered a flooded highway... which hydroplaned me off into a significant ditch. Short story, I just bought a new k member, control arms, sway bar, etc.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is provide me with your recommendations for some upgrades while I’ve got the front end apart. I’ve got some wastegate rattle for information’s sake, and I’ll definitely need an inter cooler. Not spending big bucks, just want to do some upgrades that it would be stupid not to do while I’m in there.

BMW E92 M3 Is it the best M3? The bmw e92 M3 was sold between 2007 and 2013 and had 4.0 naturally aspirated v8 producing 414 bhp and 295 pound feet of torque and a 0-60 time of 4 seconds and a top speed of 180mph. It was offered with a 6 speed manual and a dct transmission. It was available in a coupe , convertible and saloon variant. The M3 also came in a stripped out version called the gts. It was designed to go against the Porsche 911 gt3 . Do you think the e92 was the best m car of the 2000’s? decide in the comments

BMW r1200 GS Pillion review BMW’s flagship adventure/enduro bike for years.The gs offers perfect comfort for a pillion, the seat helps soak up the bumps while the suspension is at work ironing out the bumps.The pegs are in a low comfortable position which means your knees won’t be in pain after a long ride. The top box gives a pillion confidence when the rider opens up the boxer engine , you can just rest your back on the box. Which removes all worry of falling off under acceleration. The GS is built for carrying pillions and luggage in complete comfort

It's a 530d with more power than a 535d yet it costs a lot less to own. Absolutely fully equipped from factory. Non-OEM enhancements includ

New here and a new first time BMW owner with my recent purchase of an E90 330xi 6MT (Monoco Blue over Tan). I have followed BMWs since I was a teen back in the mid-90's and always planned on getting one but life (and kids) has a way of throwing wrenches in the best laid plans. Happy to finally join the club.

Hi guys, Ben Koenig asked me to join you guys so here I am. First time BMW owner since 2016. My first car was a Lancia Delta HPE 1.6 16v from 1999, then I got an Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TwinSpark that had the cylinder 1 piston bearing live a life on its own and got to knock a few valves. Then I acquired the car below in 2016... a BMW E46 1.8 316Ti Compact from 2001 with at the time 110.000km on the clock. Done a lot to it since and last year it had some massive servicing as it needed front brakes, new passenger lock, gasket for the sump, gasket for the valve cover, gasket for the vacuum pump, new chain as they discovered that it was a miracle it didn't skip a tooth, new dual mass flywheel and clutch. All in all... 3500 euro in repairs. Tomorrow it will get its new MOT I hope if it passes.

Good morning all! I have owned BMW motorcycles for years. My E70 N63 is my first four-wheeled German (South Carolina) gem. Looking forward to some good discourse and picking up tips along the way.
