Bimmer Owners Club

Hi Graham.....welcome to the Forums You have a Karmann Ghia? what a superb car! There's plenty of choice out there and for the money I would certainly consider a later car with higher miles as Bimmers tend to go on forever once they achieve the higher miles...generally all the issues have been resolved over the years, as long as it has been maintained correctly. Depends also whether you want Petrol or Diesel and that depends on your regular journeys as I'm sure you want a bigger car (e.g. tourer/estate) and this usually comes with a bigger engine so I would bear this in mind when looking for your new family car. Let us know how you get on with choosing a Bimmer. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Adam....welcome to the Forum Sounds like you have a bit of a project to contend with....Dave (GreyDog) is the expert on X5's so I'm sure he can guide you in the right direction. But throw a few problems out there and we may know some of the answers Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Thanks Paul....that is an awesome description and a fantastic bit of information that will definitely help others to determine the correct installation. I will move this to the Guides section as well as leave a copy here

thinking that it may be an ice warning as had similar on my car and couldn't work out what it was until I looked at the temperature, other car actually displays it (alfa romeo) like it's protesting that its cold 🙂

nice selection of headlamps here, although I couldn't say if they produce a better or worse light https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=bmw+1+series+headlamps&_sacat=0

Hi Ian....welcome to the Forums worth having a chat with BMW to see whats available and then sourcing it on the net to find a cheaper one Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Paul...welcome to the Forums FIne looking Beemers and the scenery....love a good road trip....especially to the 'Ring. Good to have you onboard and look forward to reading about the additional mods you are planning. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Omande....welcome to the Forum I would be surprised if there are no specialist suppliers in Germany. Would love to see a photo of the Bavaria .... got to be quite rare nowadays. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Richard....welcome to the Forum That can be really annoying and would drive me mad! I suppose it is a case of someone trying to hold the dash at various points to ascertain where its likely to be coming from and then securing it with something. Let us know if you ever get to the bottom of it Cheers, Trevor
