I have recently fitted a tow bar to my 525d and was pleasantly surprised, i have previously towed my twin axle caravan with a Navara but the car is more than up to the job.

Pretty straightforward really... There is a towing-eye in the toolkit, just screw it in the front bumper !! :P :lol:

I'm no help, am I ?

Fantastic is the answer! My e39 pulls my dastlerace box(mam 2500kg) when its emptylike a dream.you max towing weight is 1600 kg and to be fair anything over 1400 becomes a strain.

      Oil leak from turbo outlet flange (B47, 320d G21)

      Morning Andrew Welcome to the Forum Unfortunately the only solution is to strip it all down and then find it is a £0.50p gasket (hopefully) Good Luck Dave

      DPF Cleaning fluid

      Hi guys here's the latest. I drove to Glasgow and back today. Around 40 miles of dual carriageway each way and kept the revs between 2500 and 3000 approx. I kept it in fourth gear as much as possible. I also kept an eye on the temp which hovered between 68 and 74 degrees each way. My son in law put his Carly on it while I was there and cleared the EGM light and the DPF fault. the DPF returned on the way home but not the EGM. When I purchased this car 7 years ago it had the DPF light on and it turned out the problem was solved by replacing a faulty thermostat which was preventing the engine regenerating due to low running temperature. I think it warrants investigation as it cured the problem then. Any other thoughts? thanks Paneuro.

      Z4 5 speed auto transmission problem

      Recently acquired a 2.2ltr 2005 Z4 at a price which I could not resist if though it had little or no drive through the transmission. Diagnosed a fluid leak so off came the sump, changed the fluid filter, fitted a new gasket and a new transmission seal to the output shaft put it back in only to find a pool of fluid on the garage floor the next day. My only thoughts now are that the fluid pump may be leaking so I should change the gasket on this as well? Anyone else encountered this problem before? I welcome any advice/suggestions as to how to fix this issue.

      Oil leak from turbo outlet flange (B47, 320d G21)

      Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an oil leak coming from the turbine outlet flange area on my BMW 320d xDrive G21 (2019, B47 engine). The oil seems to be coming from the joint between the turbocharger and the downpipe. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any help or experience with a similar issue would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
