Hi guys,i want to upgrade my headlight bulbs to some brighter ones,like a xenon look,can anyone recommend any that make a good difference from the yellow type beam you get from the standard ones??cheers!

Had my flush and oil and filter change but the knocks still there,I've been told its just wear on the cams and not to worry about it,hope they are right!

Yeh my aircon works ok mate,I'm having an oil change done today so il see if that makes any difference! Definately seems to be coming from under the cam cover

Hi, im Wez from manchester, ive got a 2003 bmw 318 is in black,very happy so far and pleasantly suprised by its economy,i switched from the 525 msport so the 3series is new to me!just finding my way around it so any help/advice would be appreciated!cheers!

has anyone else ever come across this?ive taken it to a garage and they said there is a common fault on the 4cylinder engines where the setup of the timing chain ect needs rebuilding to sort the problem and was expensive,funny thing is he never even came out the garage to have a listen!then another garage who did have a listen has never heard of this "common problem",any feed back would be greatly appreciated:)

One way to describe it is a bit like knocking on a wooden door!

Id say its every engine turn and it is quite mild,can only just hear it with the bonnet down?

Hi,I've got a 2003 bmw 318 done 75k and noticed a dull knocking coming from under the rocker cover near the cams,its only when the engines warm and can't hear from in the car,only noticed it when checking my oil, its not very loud but just wondered if anyone else has or has heard of this problem?I'm giving it a flush and changing the oil filter to see if that helps!
