I fully agree! I've had a set of winter wheels for the golf since I bought it in 2012, purely becasue I wanted a proper spare wheel. 4 x alloys with winter tyres (same size as summer wheels/tyres) and wheel bags £800 (on offer) from VW a spare alloy with tyres (to match what was already on there) £800, so what do you think I went for?

Seems my 520 estate ,2013, rear suspension needs a new module ...wondering where best i might get this ...also what sort of cost should be as in as much as i can see prices vary a lot ? ta again in advance

Thanks so much Dave I have car booked in tomorrow with BMW so will feedback what they say. Many thanks Gary

Probably the best way to handle it. I do like the idea keeping a car totally stock.

Morning Gary Welcome to the Forum At 17k I would suspect that the Bushes are OK but check that the Upper Control Arms are torqued correctly The supplying garage should take care of that with no argument even if it means new upper arms, as these are faults that were are present at sale. Even if it is outside their 60day warranty the sale of goods act is on your side as clearly the car in its current condition isn't suitable for purpose Push Good Luck Dave

Hi and thanks for responding to my post. I have seen two Facebook posts and they are rather blatantly pointing out the problem. I have no idea whether BMW have actually commented let alone actioned the post but I kinda believe they have just looked the other way ! Re your 430i it may be a good idea to get her up on a ramp of your friendly garage and have a closer look or tap it (pun intended !). Let me know if you find out soon. Cheers

Hi folks I purchased a 2025 BMW 220i with around 17k. Car was pulling slightly so had 4 wheel alignment carried out and in spec. While up on ramp it was noted that upper control arms on both sides front could move slightly back.and forth. Albeit minimal but can still move. Is this normal or do I have issues with ball joints or bushes or need new arms under 60 day warranty. Must say car is still pulling and there are no unusual noises

You have a "list of jobs" too 🤣 I tried confusing her by starting at the bottom I thought if she saw ticks near the bottom 😅 Top tip it didn't work 🤣

Morning Qualityking Welcome to the Forum More information would help Which style ? If I recall there are 7 or 8, 17" options. What colour ? Dave

B I U

…. And yes… I put the weed killer down at the weekend and the driveway is on the list of jobs!

Well… finally got round to taking a pic this morning before I left for work.. the lady next door just rolled up in her new purchase… she said she looked at a Porsche, but as I beat her to it she went for another option! 🙄🙄🙄…

Hi. If you have any issues with insurance at all for a change of tyres then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Morning Richard If it is an option offered by the Manufacturer it isn't a Modification would be my argument My E70 runs non-run flat tyres due originally to availability the car was originally offered with either run flat and Non Run flat I also have a set of Winter wheels and tyres. Dave

I think I will go non run flat when its time to change. Purely for ride comfort. Its the only thing I can fault my G21 on, you know if you hit a bump or pot hole. My friend changed his to non run flats on the mini and it made so much difference to ride comfort, and with the state of the roads these days... I'll be honest I didn't think insurance would be bothered, if a tyre fits surely its fine? I know some of them were being asses a while back with people fitting winter tyres saying they had modified their cars.

Morning Callum Welcome to the Forum All things are possible you would of course need all the parts plus the ability to programme them to your car. The simplest would be like for like swap First do an Internet search to see if anyone else has done it if someone has it would make your life easier Good Luck Dave

Hello all , I own an E91 that has xenon headlights. Unfortunately the drivers side on is broken and in need of replacement. can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the xenon headlights to the adaptive xenon headlights, if so what would I need to achieve this or are they plug and play

And me I’d love to see a photo of it now . It was the car I wish I never got rid of after all the work I put into it

To be honest I would look at a different angle. Don’t sacrifice the mirror for a car wash. the styling for the mirror is functional too.. (to what extent is questionable). I would rather switch to a hand car washing place and keep the car correct.

I think my X5 was built by the same man….. same loom, same year, same car… different wiring and colours!

Ah… that looks lovely! hope it’s still looking as good now.

I just been looking at photos of my bmw e 36 and put the registration in and noticed it is still on the road. I put a lot of work into this car and this car was the best car I had and we love to be able to speak to former keeper and see how it’s doing after all the work I put into it with all the interior etc and just to see how it’s doing hope this message can find its way to my old car. The registration is P7 6AAB.
