Morning Frank How are you so sure the car needs a suspension module? Not saying they can't fail but in a long time I haven't seen one that has. Just take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search rear axel for the part you want or take out the one you have and take the part number from there. Once you have the part number Google for the best price and supply. Your choices are Second User or New Dave

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

4 Series Convertible - water collection in sills issue !
Julian Pasiut replied to Julian Pasiut's topic in BMW 4 Series Forum
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 🤣

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.

Xenon headlights to adaptive headlights
Greydog replied to LemontheE91's topic in BMW 3 Series Forum
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
