BMW parts reviews

I bought an e61 520d in 2020 with 201k miles, replaced timing chain at 204k and had it until 2023. Sold it with 233k miles to a breaker exporting to Lithuania. Other than the timing chain, it was bullet proof. Only ever replaced the oil, filters and tyres

2004 E46 320i manual with 116k miles. Bought it just over a year ago for \u00a32000 probably spent around \u00a31000 on it (radiator, air con, rocker cover gasket, oil sensor, boot switch, coil pack), not too bad for a 20 year old car I don\u2019t think. Only thing that doesn\u2019t work on it is the cruise control, it used to but recently stopped.

E34 520i Blown headgasket in the first 2 months 10/10 amazing car since then been faultless i love it tbh

A 525tds was my first car. Only ever had two problems with it. Heater fuse kept blowing- turned out the previous owners install of the head unit used eletrical tape which over time lead to a cable shorting out on the din cage. Water pump died - oem impeller was plastic. The replacement was metal

I literally just did this job on my mom’s 08 528xi last weekend. I used a NEW Bosch starter (I specifically avoided remanufactured).

You get a better performance if you install a booster plug, DNA air filter and Brisk spark plugs. Great torque from 2000 rpm as a result.

I have 318is with eibach pro kit 1 inch lower and bilstein b8 (basically original) and it drives like a dream. I personally dont like lowered or slam cars especially as its classic and i want to enjoy the deive not be bothered with potholes. If tou really want to lower it make sure the springs and shocks are good quality. Previous suspension was TA tehnica and the entire chassis was moving on potholes. My previous e30 (316i) had the same stupid TA tehnica and I swapped the suspension from a e30 wagon that had the same ground clearance as you and it perfect for the city

Habe die Goodyear UG Perf 3 auf einem BMW 5er Touring in 245/45/18. Unauffälliger Reifen bisher (eine Saison). Gehe jetzt nicht ans Limit auf Schnee u Eis und habe Allrad. Sind aber gottlos teuer geworden auch…

I bought a used 2021 BMW 5 series. I live in a rural area without streetlights, so it’s pitchblack on curvy 50mph roads lined with trees dropping limbs and large animals crossing. These headlights are dangerous. Can’t see without my high beams, yet there are oncoming cars every 3 seconds. I’m left driving blind half the time.

Personally I use the gates blue racing T-belt, I've had a belt snap prematurely and it was within a few months of owning my e30. Belt was only 4 or 5 years old too.
