Morning Brian

Welcome to the Forum

Commonly known as the "Lurch" some times cured by a gearbox service, or software upgrade. The ZF manual tells us that the Gearbox should be serviced between 80 and 100k Kilometres around 60k miles very few were as at that time BMW were telling owners Gearboxes' were "Sealed for Life" by life what they actually meant by "Life" was the end of their Warranty exposure.

So do you know when the box was serviced or if it has been? Is the appearance of the Lurch a recent development or has it been there a while?

      Suspension upgrade

      Morning Robin Welcome to the Forum By the sound of things you need a coil over kit for standard ride height with adjustable shocks. Playing with bump and rebound settings should allow a more supple ride, though wheels and tyres are a big part of the overall equation. Bilstien are a well established reliable name that has been around for years so if the kit has been developed for the car should be a good choice, lots of other kits out there with a wild price range but personally suspension tyres and brakes really are not worth cutting corners with.

      Suspension upgrade

      Hello all. I have a 2019 M Sport+ 440i. I am looking for suggestions to upgrade the suspension. I do not want it lower or stiffer. I am looking for more control, predictability and less harshness. At under 20k miles, there are no faults with the factory suspension, I believe it could be better. I don't drive the car hard, its more like fast touring. I am aware of the Bilstein system that Birds BMW have developed, does anyone have experience of this system? Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.

      650i crank no start

      I recently purchased a 2008 650i with a crank no start problem. There is no spark or fuel. The fuel rail is pressurized but injectors are not firing. I replaced the ivm cause it will cause a similar no start but nothing changed. I checked relays but couldn't find one for fuel Injection or spark. I couldn't see codes cause my reader was having a hard time connect. But there was rpm when cranking so I assume the cps is fine. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Morning Rob Welcome to the Forum As with most cars in reasonable condition and with an MOT it is worth the market value, check the Auction sites and local adds. Without an MOT it is scrap value as it can't be driven some recyclers may even charge to collect it. Reading your post it seems like you have already made a decision. Personally I would fix it and sell it or maybe carry on using it but then I do all my own maintenance on our cars and its a hobby not a chore Dave
