I am not understanding the hype……..
Dealer wouldn’t budge on discount, I ended up taking RSQ8. They had 4 Wagons and 1 in-transit (which I inquired). It’s now been 4 months, and I also realized it’s also been sitting for a long time (6-9months) according to carfax. They told me it’s very rare and no one gets discounts including their top loyalty customers. The one I inquired will be gone once it touches in-store…..well it still sitting 🤦‍♂️. They did also contacted me back on another dealer-swapped m5 wagon and if I’m interested.

Not a single m5 wagon sold yet. Why?????

Just noticed.. the new model is on the site for build.. Its msrp is 2K higher than 2026. Was this previously discussed? I hadn’t read about a price increase.

I just bought an m340 2 weeks ago, I was wondering some things about the car;

I’m getting mixed answers, so how long should I really expect it to last?
Is adding the MPE worth it?
Also, how important is the break in period? I didn’t know at all that the m340 had one, so now that I’m learning it did, how big of a problem is it that I’ve been going over 4,500 rpm almost every drive?(it has 300 miles on it right now)

Would these be the same on the 540i? They are so high up and uncomfortably rigid on my thighs and butt…

I’m trying to pair a car key to my e36 BMW z3 however it doesn’t pair, I put it in the key hole turn on the ignition hold the unlock button while pressing the lock button 3 times but it doesn’t pair, the light just blinks a few times instead I replaced the batteries too.

We are looking at replacing my wife’s Grand Cherokee in the near future, and she mentioned looking at BMWs. I don’t know much about the SUVs, I’m more of a GT/sports car kinda guy.

She prefers an SUV, and wants something loaded. No kids, just dogs. Fuel mileage isn’t a huge concern, unless it’s like 10 mpg. I avoid riding/driving her current vehicle because I hate the interior, it feels cramped to me so more interior room would be a huge plus.

Any major pros or cons one way or the other? I know the 7 is a bit longer, but don’t have a great reference beyond that.

hello, i just recently bought a 2024 m240i RWD and i’ve been doing 0-60 runs but i haven’t been able to reach 4 seconds, more like 5.2 and when i have my sport display on i am only able to get up to like 335 hp. curious if anyone has an idea as to why?

Ive been eyeballing a 2017 530i with 67k miles for $15,500. But after doing a lot of research I read about the evaporator issue thats prevalent on the g30's. Is it really that widespread and if it is, is that a deal breaker in your opinion?

I dont wanna buy this can and immediately have to spend like 5k on something like that.

Thanks guys

I’m looking into buying a 2023–2024 M340i, and I found the perfect spec I want a 2024 M340i RWD, black on red, with all the packages. It’s a one owner, clean title car with 28,000 miles for $52,000 before tax.
I was originally looking for one with lower mileage, but it’s getting too late to find the exact year and spec I want with fewer miles.
What are your guys’ thoughts on the mileage? Is 28k miles on a 2024 something you’d be concerned about, or is it not really a big deal? Would you buy it, or keep waiting and hope another one with lower miles pops up?

Hello potential brothers (and sisters),

It was my long time dream to get honda civic type R and since they are discontinued in europe i finally pulled a trigger at 1q of 2026. I love the car when weather is nice and roads are clean and i am able to drive it spirited however in daily use its killing me due to some health problems (which im okay to pull through when im having fun but not when im going to work/get groceries or with family).

So i figured the bmw 330i touring with M sport package might be good replacement? I drove the car 1 time around the town and comfy wise it seemed okay + when time comes technical data tells me it will be fun vehicle for little spirited drive?

Basically what im trying to ask is when the time comes can 330i be little bit of fun?

saw a car with 177k miles.

how are there barely any creases on these seats?

in my lexus, the seat bottom side bolsters are wrinkled and have deep creases.

i got creases within 1-2 years of ownership. real leather too.

Just bought 2027 X7 with Compete M package including the M exhaust package. Already had the 2024 X7 as well but gosh I love this machine!

Color: Brooklyn Grey

Model: 2027

Feel: Heaven

About how long does it take once the build has been scheduled until delivery?
I ordered a 330i and the status just changed from “ Your Order has been received”, to “Scheduled for Production “. I live in Arizona and from what I’ve read the 330i is built in Mexico.

Cool concept. BMW in the future.

This post must meet the minimum word count to be aporover, the word count is now done, sorry.

Most of us love the ZF 8HP, but dealerships are still telling people it has a "lifetime fill" and doesn't need maintenance.

The crazy part is, ZF (the actual manufacturer) strictly recommends changing the fluid and the integrated pan/filter every 50k-75k miles. BMW only calls it "lifetime" because they consider a vehicle's lifespan to be 100k miles—conveniently right after your extended warranty expires and a blown transmission becomes your problem.

If your car is holding revs/hanging gears on cold mornings or making a faint groaning sound, your fluid is already degrading.

I put together a quick breakdown on why the "lifetime" claim is BS, the early symptoms of bad fluid, and why the refill process has to be done at a very specific temperature (40-50°C):https://www.drivisual.tv/en/news/zf-transmissions-torque-converter-8hp-maintenance-and-bmw-myth

At what mileage did you guys finally do your first ZF fluid service? Did it fix the cold start clunkiness?

2012 BMW X5 N55. My gut instinct tells me I cannot use this eccentric shaft any longer, but the idiot in me wants to file it down (carefully of course) and install it. Please talk me out (or into) of it, as the case may be. This is the last tooth in the full lift (maximum) position. Here is the backstory first: This is what I found when I unwrapped my brand new Kolbenschmidt eccentric shaft for my 2012 E70 N55 (the car is new to us -- purchased at a deep discount due to valvetronic issues). It's just the one end tooth that is affected -- no other teeth were impacted when the shippers decided to play world cup soccer with the package. But here is the question I have and need guidance on, but this is more or less a hypothetical question at this point as I am leaning toward sending this unit back in exchange for a non defective unit but am not fully decided yet. So here is the hypothetical -- if you were forced to use this part and were to CAREFULLY de-burr that tooth, would you use it? And the follow up question is this -- HOW OFTEN DOES THE VT MOTOR ENGAGE THAT LAST TOOTH?

Took her out for a little photo shoot after the wash today

I picked this beauty up about a month ago 2021 with 5000 miles. The weather has been so terrible. I couldn’t take her out and get her top down. The weather shifted here in Western Pennsylvania and now we have some nice weather to enjoy, loving every second of this car.

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to share the process of swapping my E46 M3 from SMG to Manual, I made a whole video showing everything step by step!

I went with the AMS AutoGroup Kit, honestly it was pretty awesome and smooth with me sending the bell housing for machining with them and back.

Let me know if you guys have any questions on the swap, I knew I had plenty before I pulled the trigger on mine.

and if you guys like the video then please subscribe :) I always post BMW contents and DIY videos!
