645ci coolant
Hi Dave thanks for the reply, it’s dawned on me the dash temp gauge is oil temp so I need to locate that sensor! the fan visible behind the rad does turn,I saw it working after I warmed it up but I haven’t heard the electric fan cut in. I have bought a replacement thermostat to fit but haven’t as yet i also found a video showing how to test the auxiliary electric water pump by holding the throttle down … mine appears to make noise but nothing come back into the header …. also I can’t seem to get the water temp displayed on the dash using the secret menu hack it’s like the unlock code isnt accepted when I select option 7 it just goes back to displaying outside temp. my vacuum pump is also a bit noisy ( sounds a bit like a wheel from a children’s bike stabiliser) other than that noise the engine sounds perfect and the oil is clear of any sludge..

FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE/TIME BELT
I have the exact same problem. Mine is a 225Xe Auto. Amber engine light has been on for some time, 2x service at the BMW garage said it is sensor problem no concern. 4 weeks ago the steering started shuddering and now sound lime a tractor motor. Took to the same garage and they have quoted >10k. Mileage is just about 100,000, 2018 make. I feel cheated by such a big name brand, the garage should have a realistic pricing. The repair is almost the price I paid for the used car. Any ideas. Should I move on an sell for scrap. -

Buying an X1.
Hi Bob, Just make sure you check out the specs. If it is a 1.5l engine it's probably a MHEV, in which case no room underfloor for a spare wheel. Secondly, if that is the case it's built on the same platform as my 220i Active tourer which has a quoted 0-62mph of 8.2s. That's a bit misleading as I think that time is achieved by using the 'Boost' function, where the energy stored in the battery is suddenly dumped into the drive train for a 'Launch' effect. I don't find my 220i to be slow. It picks up quickly from 50 to 70(and plus) on the motorway if required. Sure it's not going to be up there with cars that have 200hp or more. But then if you're thinking of an X1 you are obviously more interested in practical luggage carrying than speed. Remember most of the average 'bloggsmobiles' have a 0-62mph time of 10s+. I think the X1 with the 1.5l engine has a time of 8.3s, and a top speed of 138mph so whilst not high performance it's no sluggard. On another note, just try to keep the cost, when new, below that £40k threshold, after which annual car tax rises to £590 per annum for the first 5 years for the second licence. In the end, only a test drive will tell you if it suits you. Good luck
