May be a previous owner used someone's tights and stuck a piece over the lens to get the effect 🤣 Dave

Morning Steven My wife's car is a Subaru Outback 3.0 with a full Perrin engine upgrade (400+ Hp at the wheels) it's as quiet as a mouse, no induction noise. Induction set up is standard with just high flow filters. So I would ask if your cars induction has been modified in anyway ? If it is standard then I think you have a leak, quite a big one if you can hear it sucking. Dave

Hi Tim Welcome to the Forum I would check the starter relay and fuel pump relay but to be sure I would start with a diagnostic scan as for the ! on your Dash what colour is it (Yellow or Red) and is the any other symbol illuminated with it ? Dave

Hi Paul Welcome to the Forum A quick check on realoem (BMW Parts List) shows Part Number 63257164978 for your Third brake light try googling the part number. Either your BMW Dealer should help (expensive) but Google or the Auction web sites (Ebay Amazon) should help or contact one of the BMW Specialist Breakers like Quarry Motors Most important keep smiling Dave

Whoop Whoop We know what your doing today 😅 Hope it goes smoothly Dave

Morning SLS Welcome to the Forum If you aren't aware check www.realoem.com Classic section for part numbers then try BMW UK they have a Classic's section but they wont be cheap £££ Or a good Automotive trimmer may be able to help Dave

Try PM ing the posters here if they are up for it, my personal route would be the Rogue Traders program they love stuff like this Dave

Morning Asim Before chucking more hard earned at it check carefully for any Inlet leaks all hoses and gaskets also Test the O2 sensors you can get Maf cleaners but be careful. Dave

Fingers Crossed Dave

Am I getting Warmer

Does it look like this one ?

Hi Steven Take a photo and post it see if we can help Dave

Morning John Welcome to the Forum You need a BMW capable Diagnostic reader most readers will only see the basic Engine management. Your fault could be Fuel Delivery, Fuel rail pressure, Fuel pump relay, Turbo Actuator the list of possible causes goes on Dave

Morning Steven I take it these are Crankcase ventilation hoses ? Have you looked at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it should call up your model (Z3 should be in the Classic section) then search the Engine, Fuel sections for what you need. Once you find the hose on the exploded drawings get the part number and you should then get the correct part. Hope this helps Dave

Morning Harry Welcome to the Forum Initially the remote start feature was fitted as an option on selected models (G20 was one of them) from around 2014/2015 as far as I am aware it wasn't until 2019/2020 models that it became a standard feature. You obviously need the remote start option plus the remote you can check if your BMW has a remote start. On your touchscreen, you should have an option that reads “iDrive.” From there, all you have to do is scroll over to ‘remote start engine’ and see if it is available or not. If so, then yes, you can enjoy a remote start from your key fob or directly from the app. If you don't have the option I have read about Aftermarket systems that can be fitted but have never seen one in action. Hope this helps Dave

Morning Steven As far as I am aware you need to change the complete assembly as I haven't heard or read of anyone servicing them. You could try companies like Cartronix or ECU Testing (Google should help find them) both have good Reputations As far as I know the butterfly is closed until energised, then open enough to allow idle settings Good Luck Dave

Morning Wayne Welcome to the Forum Great motor ENJOY Dave

Already answered Auri no need for multiple posts For the i8 I think your only option will be a late version of ISTA Dave

Morning Auri Have you tried eManuals online Or get a copy of ISTA/INPA it should have workshop information wiring diagrams etc as part of the diagnostic program (well mine has) Dave

Yay, don't you just love a free fix Dave

Morning Aaron Water circulating short answer, Yes The Auxiliary water pump circulates water around the top of the engine until the thermostat is open fully I don't know why you had the DPF messed with, a vigilant MOT tester will fail the car if its spotted. It is also quite probably the reason for your fan running. The fan is triggered when the DPF is in Regeneration so if some of the DPF sensors are reading regen conditions then that is your problem Dave

Morning Neil Welcome to the Forum That doesn't sound good !! It could be a number of things the biggest and most concerning is Timing chain If you can't investigate yourself you need the help of a Mechanic or Garage Dave

Hi John Seats are heavy even more so if fully powered the fixings have to be able to contain tons of force in the event of an accident and not break free. Those fixings will hold not just the seat but a very large person, where they mount is heavily reinforced so the studs will definitely stop the seat lifting at the rear particularly as the seat runner profiles are designed not to deform/bend in just such a scenario as having a missing fixing. If your worried slacken the nuts but don't take them off the stud that should allow you to lift the rear about an inch or so. Dave

Morning Andy Quick question are the lights that are out on the same side? I would first check the multiple earth points on the side that the lights are out, simple things first. As said in my original post it could be a Junction box issue you need Diagnostics by someone with a BMW capable software/scanner Autel, Autologic, iCarsoft, Launch, all have capable systems these days not sure about their ability to program though Obviously the best is ISTA/INPA which will let you do just about anything if you understand how to use it. So if you don't want to buy your own system may be find a member local to you who will help if not available. A BMW Specialist or good Independent Garage but obviously here is where ££££ rack up Good Luck Dave

Morning John To use realoem you need to put the last 7 Digits of your Vin Number into the search box it will bring up your model, then look at the seat section. I have just done that without your Vin and attached is the Diagram it tells me item 4 is an M10 bolt and there should be 3 Item 6 is an M10 Hex nut ribbed and there are 2 with cover caps. So either slacken off the nuts or remove them and your there Dave
