Safe mode is when the car develops a fault and reduces the power as a get you home measure. Its supposed to avoid being stuck at the side of the road.

Only way to cure it is to get the underlying fault sorted. Start by getting the fault codes read by a BMW dealer or reputable independent specialist. from there you will be able to get quotes for the repairs.

Welcome John. Nothing humble about a 116. Fun little car by all accounts.

Welcome along! I bought an E36 coupe a couple of months ago and haven't looked back! Love it bits now.

Hi Stewart, you may get a little more interest if you post a few basic details. Age, condition and a guide price. :D

Hello, good evening and welcome! :D

Sorry Paul, I don't have any real experience of the 5 series, certainly not that new anyway, but welcome along! :D

:lol: I'm in tune with that!

Ever get those chrome arches Rob?

............ I used to use a sonus deep polish, then P21s wax then sonus every few days.

Every few days????!!!! :o Crikey, mine gets a wash every couple of months if its lucky! :lol:

Always been a bit lazy when it comes to car care.

B) *drool drool*

Must have a good chippy and indian there then.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

OOH! Bitchy! :lol:

Actually it was a very well paid contract. B)

Welcome along Dave. Much of a contrast between the Mazda and the Beemer?

Hell yes! B)

Read it again Rob, two different cars! :lol:

If you have any questions about wheels, ask hersham boy. After today he knows all about them! :P

Just look at his Porsche's badge panel, you will see he's not telling porkies... :lol: :lol:

Thankyou for that observation Robert! :lol: :rolleyes:

OK. Two - Nil to Autoglym.

Nice work. B) i have just replaced the grey "dead cow" interior in my coupe with a black one as it was holed.

Keep us up to speed with your progress.

As the Yam Yam says^^

I'm sure things will get busier. Welcome along.

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Hi Steve. Sorry I can't offer any help on the cog box, but welcome along.

Hello! Welcome along.

Which part of Keynes? I used to spend half my life in Wavendon.

I'm in! :D Having been on this twice now, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Rob takes care of all the arrangements and escorts us on the trip, so even if you haven't driven abroad before, he takes all the worry out of it.

Definately the most fun you can have with your clothes on! :D B)

.... do you use to "detail" your beemer?

Always been fond of good old AutoGlym and Meguiars myself, but I'm no expert when it comes to car care.

.... and a couple of mine, cause I always was one for a good bandwagon!

Looking forward to seeing your new tub in the metal Rob. B)

*Titter* You really do love those fail pics don't you!
