Hi Paul...welcome to the Forum!

I can only this reference to the wiper blades for your car...are you sure he sold you the same ones?

Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying your Beemer.

Hi Dan...welcome to the Club!

I'm quite positive that they always oversell the economy benefits and that the true MPG return is quite a bit less, especially around town.

Hopefully, one or two members may have the answer to your query.

Anyone??

Good diagnosis...the Wiggle Test as it was known as at Ford.

Batteries are quite reasonably priced at Halfords, especially the Premium range (much better quality)

Oh dear!   that seems to be burning well

Wonder what caused the fire?

Hi Ben...welcome to the forum!

How are you finding your new Beemer?

Cheers,   Trevor - Admin

Hi NIc...welcome to the Club

That's a great looking Beemer...thanks for posting the pictures up on the forum.

Look forward to reading your posts in the future

An event certainly worth going to

Okay, thanks...I was looking at the castle coombe website but had no listing for the event on there.

I shall place the link on the forum / social media to see if it drums up any responses.

Looks like a great event!

Hi Luke...welcome to the club!

She looks fantastic and has a real mean stance!

Enjoy!

HI Ray...welcome to the club!

Looks like a good car to start with and should be good fun modifying it into your preferred style.

I reckon a decent set of secondhand late model alloys would really enhance the look

Keep us posted with piccies of the improvements over time.

Hi Kelly...welcome to the club!

It might be worth looking in the drivers handbook for the operation of the park sensors as it's unlikely they would have fitted them without activating them with the car.

The phone button, however may be an option but again, worth looking in the handbook for pairing instructions.

Hi...and welcome to the club!

Sounds like unstable voltage...check the battery state of charge and alternator output.

Could be a replacement battery needed?

HI Annabel...welcome to the club!

Just had a look on the website and couldn't see it listed...when is it on?

Hi Adam,  welcome to the Forum!

Small, economical runabout...I think that was the original sales pitch for the BMW 728i  :-)

Enjoy it...it looks superb!

Hi Dave, 

A K&N air filter is a great addition to any car and the benefits are there for years to come...as long as they are cleaned correctly (following manufacturers instructions) and more importantly...making sure that the sticker is placed on the air box area to indicate that there is a K&N in there otherwise some garages have been known to replace them during a service and disposing of it to replace it with a cheap paper one :-(

Great result....thanks Greydog for posting up the first class info 

Hi Jane...welcome to the Forum!

It sounds like an idle fault if the revs have dropped down to a level where the transmission is juddering.

If this is the case, then maybe try some cleaning additive for the engine (Halfords sell many different types) and a good run may cure it.

If not, then a trip to a local BMW specialist for them to scan the engine control system to diagnose the fault.

I would try the cleaner first though

Looking for a good used or new rear screen for my Z3 (2000)

Anyone got anything or know of a good/cheap supplier?

Hi Brian...welcome to the Forum!

That's really unfortunate, seen that happen before.

I have moved this post to the relevant forum so hopefully someone who has the knowledge may be able to help you.

Let us know how you get on

Great advice from Greydog  

Hi Fast Fox

just had a look at your website   http://www.fastfoxperformance.com/   which has some great sample pictures of your work...very impressive!

Please keep us updated with any new products for Beemers

Hi Bill,

that seems very expensive...have you tried an independent garage / specialist for a quote for replacing the fluid and also what could be causing the revving?
