Engine bonnet release latch not working properly
Hi, My 120i bonnet release latch is difficult to open the bonnet. It just started causing me problems. The handles comes right up but does does open the bonnet, I need to try it about 5 times and I am worried I will break the plastic latch. My question is there a way to tighten the cable or should I just replace the cable, if so how easy is it to replace myself. All suggestions greatly appreciated. -

Thanks very much for welcome, I've done the history search via BMW dealer and there's none there! As the one previous owner was a sales manager for a large franchise, I'm thinking they did the servicing but maybe didn't have access to the BMW system to update it. I'm getting it serviced at main dealer next month and that will allow me to purchase a warranty from BMW or possibly elsewhere as BMW warranty dept pretty useless so far. Just back from 3 days in Yorkshire and it is an amazing car to drive for sure! Cheers Dave -

2016 M240 "lumpiness" at steady low speed
Thanks Dave, it's just noticeable at that lower steady speed, higher steady speeds it doesn't seem t happen, there is an occasional hesitancy to accelerate when 'floored' mind. Think the scan step is required! -

645ci coolant
Morning Rob 1st The temperature sender in the water pump housing is dual purpose it sends a signal to the DME which interprets that for both Oil Temp and Water Temp I would change it when changing the Thermostat If the Aux Water Pump isn't recirculating coolant, (1) is the Coolant level correct (2) You can hear the Aux Pump running but it doesn't seem to be moving coolant so check the Coolant valve on the nearside inner wing (not uncommon for these o fail) Is the noise the Vacuum pump (constant) or the Emissions air pump stops after a short while? If all sensors are operating as they should there could be a problem with the cluster it is better to repair the original if you can there are a few companies who do it ECU Testing or Cartronix come to mind. Good luck Dave -

2016 M240 "lumpiness" at steady low speed
Morning Kev Welcome to the Forum If you drop down a gear or two to increase revs what happens? When was the car last serviced ? A misfire could be Coil Pack failing Plug failing a vacuum or air leak on the inlet, I would start with a diagnostic scan and go from there. Dave
