  1. I’m trying to sell my OEM 19’’ E92 M3 alloys but struggling to do so on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay. Can anyone offer any advice please?

  2. OK, further installment. Many thanks to Greydog for the input. Non cranking has been getting worse and I ordered the BMW part to replace the defective relay as noted above. It was located exactly where you said it was but....... When you open the flap to access the fuses box area at the back of the glove box you first need to lift out the raised plate that sits on the glove box tray to the rear of the glove box. This allows said flap to fully lower. I had a little play and found a press/pull up slat on the back side of said plate, located exactly in the middle. This releases the plate and allows the fuse box flap to lower fully providing access. Changing the relays is just a pull out/press in fitting. There are two lugs on the sides of the relay, one lower and one higher, which correspond to the guides in the fuse box itself so you cant put it in the wrong way around. Typical BMW........... Car started straight away and I am hoping that is the matter sorted. A £16.85 fix and a bit of research to boot. This really is a very good forum to be part of.

  3. By the sounds of it you are having major electrical issues with you Zed I found similar issues stemmed from water collecting in the boot area (on the left hand side under some trim cover) removed the cover and found a pool of water that had flooded out the electronic components in there which control the alarm system so possibly start there

  4. Afternoon Andrea My bet would be the Slip Spring behind the steering wheel is at fault. A diagnostic would confirm if you have access to BMW 1.4.0 or similar (not expensive to buy and worth its weight) Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model. Then look at the Steering section, the small exploded drawing will give clues to what fits where plus there will be part numbers that ensure you get the correct part for your model if replacing it is required. Also if you double click the part number it should give a list of any alternatives available Good luck with the fix Dave

  6. Morning Alex Welcome to the Forum Oo er never really thought about this before Try looking at www.realoem.com in the trim section (I think) it may help or Pictures of an M135 for clues You could also ask BMW Customer Services or a really good Body Shop Sorry that's all I can think of Dave

  9. Personally I would ask the Turbo specialist if they can rebuild the turbo (which they will normally give a warranty) if they can't rebuild it then buy a Turbo it will very likely come with a warrantee of it's own. My own X5 E70 was brought at a silly low spares or repair price due to Turbo issues I fitted a Rebuilt Turbo (cost £460 with fitting kit) along with a New actuator that lot was purchased with a 2 year Warranty, 4 years and 30k later still going strong So as BMW are unprepared to give you any support why give them your money?? I would move the car to an Independent Garage also get the original Turbo back (why Northampton ?) If you talked to someone like GAP Turbo Chargers in Bristol I am sure they will collect your car fix it for a sensible cost and you will have a Warranted repair that will be supported. That would be my course of action for what it is worth Dave

  10. Morning Fawad Welcome to the Forum Oh dear bit of a Saga First your questions 1. BMW do not make Turbos they buy them in, as a Company BMW do not repair anything they simply change New part for Old at the Clients expense hence the ££££ cost. As BMW found no sign of leaks to the loom I would challenge the Warranty Company as it is not an Injector fault 2. Garrett are one of the oldest turbo manufacturers ( around since the early 50's) they have been around longer than BMW have been fitting turbos to their cars? So a Garrett Turbo is at least as good (possibly better) as OEM quality depending on it's source. As your Warranty is not in place I would get a good independent to change the turbo or at least its actuator BMW have washed their hands anyway Good Luck Dave
