    Hi Vincent, I believe the Vanos is a bit of a s*d to set up...and definitely worth using the special tools to set up the cams with. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor - Admin

    Hi Andrew....welcome to the Club! Glad you're enjoying your Beemer...is it fully loaded with options, manual or automatic transmission? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor - Admin

    Hi Andy...welcome to the club! Not entirely sure which component could be causing the noise but I wonder if any other members have experience this before. Has it just started or has it been since something has been disturbed, say during work on the engine for example? One other cause may be the Vanos system (if fitted)...and if so, maybe just a case of replacing the engine oil to quieten down...just a thought! Cheers Trevor - Admin

    I would agree totally with Greydog with his diagnosis and rectification....great advice! Generally, the first port of call with any electrical diagnosis is to start with the Battery and check it's condition. If you can get your Mechanic to carry out a Heavy Duty Discharge Test on it to determine the overall health of the battery and if it is dubious, replace it. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers, Trevor

    Hi John I can't imagine you have knocked any switches to bring about the problem. Could be the boot lock solenoid has failed possibly. Does the lock solenoid make any noises when operating with the key? Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers Trevor

    Hi Dave... I think the only real solution is to find where the moisture is entering the headlamp and seal it before trying to dry it out. Not sure the best way to do it, but maybe reseal the lens to body seal by applying silicon sealant externally around where the two parts join? Anyone got any ideas?

    Hi David Certainly a case of better safe than sorry...money well spent in the long run I would imagine. Did you notice any difference afterwards? (apart from the lighter wallet)

    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? https://www.boschwipers.co.uk/?make=2434&model=2489&year_id=2493&s=&post_type=product&action=vpf-search 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)

    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 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. Regards Trevor - Admin

    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! Regards, Trevor - Admin

    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 :-(
