New member, just picked up my second M car. I had an e36 M3 coupe, Estoril Blue and just picked up an e60 M5. Both are awesome cars, but I've been wanting the e60 for several years and finally found one and pulled the trigger. It's amazing how different the personalities of these cars are. The M3 was pretty low tech and mechanical feeling, where as the M5 is high tech and super powerful. It really amazes me how it doesn't feel as big as it is. I think I spend most of my time driving around in P500S just because it makes me smile non-stop.....until I have to pull into the gas station. The gas tank is ridiculously small for the mpg that it gets, but it's so fun I don't care.

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      Great little cars Stu A neighbour has one and she loves it they do need a good annual service though, seen several that were unreliable due to not being used much and waiting for the service indicator to tell them it needed service? One was 5 years between services? You will also need a good code reader Dave

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      Well… we have a freind at church who has been struggling with the car and I haven’t ever had time to look at it. So, we upgraded the Peugeot to a Porsche and felt it right to gift her the Peugeot. in return, I have taken the mini and intend to spend some time on it before gifting it to someone else who needs a car. drove it home and it had more lights than Blackpool.! spent an hour or so tinkering and I have got it down to two issues. The air filter needs replacing and it is showing a code of 2983 inlet cam sensor. im going to order me a Bosch one and hopefully the engine will run a lot better… after its had a tank of redex! any other suggestions or things I should look for?

      Need help identifying burnt part

      Morning Dan Welcome to the Forum As it isn't a BMW Part I am not sure there will be help here, unless a member on here has come across the same issue Maybe Google to see if there is a Harmon Kardon Forum to see if they have more information Good Luck Dave

      1996 750i

      Following further conversation with the owner, he has corrected me to say its a September 1995 model. 5.4ltr V12 SWB. Apparently there were very limited numbers of this model in right hand drive. Any interest of advice please let me know.

      X1 gearbox service

      Morning Cornel Welcome to the Forum Your Gearbox is ZF GA8HP45Z which I believe ZF advise should be serviced every 60 to 100000 km dependent on environment and use (Climate Towing etc) If you feel like teasing your local BMW Dealer service manager ask him if it's sealed for life why do BMW have a gearbox service kit on their parts list 😅 Transfer case is ATC 35L Personally if it is running well and at the low miles you have it isn't an urgent priority. 12 years is a stretch I would look for a good Independent or better a ZF Transmission Specialist if you can't DIY Dave
