    Would definitely be interested to know what the cause is, Chris....and hope it's not too much

    Hi Chris....welcome to the Forum I would advise taking the car to an auto electrician, as it's a 20 amp fuse which suggests that there is a short circuit to earth, which if the fuse did not blow then an electrical fire could ensue, which is definitely not a good outcome. For what it cost, and it may be quite quick that the sparky finds the fault, but without the knowledge and equipment to trace the fault it is a non-event in my mind. Let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

    I would definitely try to keep the rolling diameter of the tyres the same all round the car, width isn't a problem though

    Stainless pipes are more durable as they obviously won't corrode so if you're keeping the car for many years then it may be worth it, otherwise they definitely sound better. Not sure about the volume on the sensors but you could locate the bleeper (in the boot area I think) and see if it has dropped down or something similar

    Hi Mike It's an automatic adjuster by the look of it and you turn the nut on the pulley with a spanner until the slot (visible in photo) aligns with a hole behind it where you then lock it off with a drill bit of the right size. You can then fit the belt and turn the pulley slightly to release the drill bit and hey presto....correct adjustment

    Hi John....welcome to the Forum Great looking Bimmer you have there I would agree with Greydog....one hell of a test drive :-)

    You could try an oil flush and refill with good quality oil but worth getting the valve followers and / or timing chain checked to see they are in tip-top condition.

    Hi Jordan...sorry to hear your woes...trouble you could do without! I would wait to see what fault codes come up...could be something as simple as a camshaft sensor (after timing chain has stretched a small amount, may have triggered the cam sensor?) Keep us updated on the progress Cheers Trevor

    Good luck with it all and hope you get a misfire (in the nicest possible sense)

    May have something to do with setting priority on the audio system (to select which phone is paired with first each time you reconnect)...just a thought!

    Not sure which calendar this is? May have been another BMW club possibly?

    Hi Darren...welcome to the Club As Greydog has already mentioned, it sounds like the EGR or DPF (or both) are clogged as the car is very low mileage for the year, suggesting that it has been smoked around town locally and needs cleaning out. I would advise contacting someone like Terraclean who can sort that out for you. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

    lol...they also sound like one
  25. Bimmer Owners' Club
    Wise words Greydog....sometimes the fix is easier than one would imagine, albeit it sometimes takes longer to search the information than to carry out the job :-)
