Thanks guys. This one didn't seem to fix itself by running the engine by itself. Got a mechanic on the way this evening, he's just rebuilt a 325 from a write off so I trust he knows his s#!t! I'll keep you updated. Watch those puddles people!!!

Just had the father in law come to diagnose the fault. Getting the error code P1343

I was on my way to drop someone off earlier and drove though a deep puddle which I didn't spot at about 50mph. Thought nothing off it, dropped the person off and drove back home 6 miles with no issues. I have returned to the car about 3 hours later and when starting the engine the engine managment light was flashing and the engine was rumbling below 2K revs. I stopped and started the car a few times now the engine managment light is constant. I took it round the block and it feels there is a major engine issue. The engine does not sound right, it almost sounds clicky. Can anyone advise me what to do next, or what it might be? Cheers Oli

Awesome car pal!

Hi all, I am a new member and a new BMW owner! Always been my favourite car and finally I was able to buy and insure one. I want to get a few bits done, such as MV2 alloys, get a fresh set of plates and she needs a new passenger side mirror.

I faced this one but the original head unit is just too good looking to replace and I've seen other bmw's with awful looking head units that don't fit properly or are the wrong colour. My solution was a tape-aux cable and I purchased a phone holder that clips onto the air vents in order to cover up the tape slot. Looks good if you find the right holder etc!
