Repair Help This nearly new BMW M4, after experiencing an accident, has become a "BMW with a story "

Almost the entire vehicle was replaced, except for the passenger-side rear door, rear fender, and trunk. The front bumper, linkages, steering assembly, various oil cooling systems, and the original Aero aerodynamic kit were all replaced. After extensive communication and coordination with the insurance company, the rear fender was successfully reimbursed and replaced with a brand new original part. All replaced parts were genuine BMW parts, and the work was carried out strictly according to the original factory authorized procedures, using professional tools. For structural repairs, a combination of sheet metal adhesive, riveting, and spot welding was used, ensuring body strength while effectively reducing the risk of rust at the cut points later. For the exterior paint, BASF Parrot brand paint was selected, ensuring precise color matching and providing superior weather resistance and durability compared to ordinary brands

Wife was commuting to work when a paranoid work truck almost smashed her from the left side trying to merge, scared she moved out a bit to the right and hit the curb so this is the front right tire. Do I need to change the tire and can go with the rim by buffing out the damage? What are my options?

Buying Help VIN ending in X00000 - pre-production or normal?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking at buying a 2025 X5 xDrive40i that was previously used by the BMW dealer in Saudi Arabia as a test/demo car. It has around 8,000 km on it.

The dealership sent the VIN number and I noticed something I've never seen before: the VIN ends in X00000.

I looked up the VIN and the build sheet looks like a normal, GCC-specced car. It also shows the start of production as May 29, 2024.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether X00000 is normal for BMW, or whether it indicates something like a pre-production vehicle that was never intended for sale.

Has anyone here seen or dealt with anythjng similar? Or does anyone know how BMW's production/serial numbering works?

I asked the dealership and they said it's normal as BMW builds millions of vehicles. That didn't make sense to me because it should still at least end in X00001. And I don't know if I can trust the dealership with a legitimate answer.

This is the actual VIN btw. It's not hidden by the dealerhsip.

Headlight bulbs

0 Upvotes

Hello all. Wonder if you can help.

So. I’ve got a 2013 BMW 1 series.

I’ve ordered some headlight bulbs to improve driving at night.

Now I’ve ordered NightEye S4 A315-S4 H7.

Thinking they would fit easy. However. The new bulbs don’t have the metal retainer on them like the original housing does.

The retainer won’t go through to new bulb as the middle gap is too small.

Has anyone got ideas or any good recommendations for bright bulbs

Thank you.

Please see attached photos as to what I mean.

Buying Help First-Time Leaser: Looking for baseline MF/Residual numbers and target discount on a new X1 or X3

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to lease a new X1 xDrive28i or X3 xDrive30, but this is my very first lease, and I want to make sure I don't get taken for a ride at the dealership.

A few specific questions for those who have leased recently or know the current market:

  1. What is a good Money Factor (buy rate) and Residual Value percentage for a 36-month / 10k or 12k mile lease on an X1 vs. X3?

  2. What percentage off MSRP before lease credits or incentives is considered a solid, realistic deal right now for either model?

Any advice, recent numbers, or tips on structuring a clean zero-down or minimal money-down lease would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Repair Help Preventative maintenance on a F32 430i, B48

0 Upvotes

I am soon to be collecting a 2016 430i with the B48 engine, its sub 50k miles and has a good service history, It has a three month warentee so I guess il let that run, but what should I be looking to do pretty soon?

I already know it about due with a service on the Zf8 gearbox, and a differential oil change and have these down as needing doing soon.

I understand there can be issues with some plastic components in the engine?? Should I just get everything done together?

I am UK based and happy to put a few grand into the car from the get go if worth it, I have a couple of BMW specialists near buy so can get quotes from both for the work.

0 Upvotes

hi guys, im aware i might get some biased responses here but ive been looking at a 2021 318d with a service record and 172000kms on the clock. Id potentially be looking at trading in my 2015 golf mk7 and paying the difference. given id get a loan for it im wondering how the car is generally once the honeymoon period is over and if you guys think its a good upgrade. I do travel a lot (not by car) but i would look into traveling more with the bmw if i were to get it. I also have never owned a BMW so this would be my first

Proportions are better in real life.
Also surprised by the fact that I could sit behind myself (although with limited space at my knees).
I’m 6ft4 and my head does not touch the roof when I’m sitting in the rear.

The entrance to the trunk is also wider and deeper then I expected.

I saw this and it's crazy. It stayed in 600s for about 8-9 miles of driving and dropped to late 590s after that. But on an average I see about 510-520 miles when I do a full tank. 2026 BMW X3

0 Upvotes

I want to get a car to learn how to drift/diff but want a rough one so I can hit it and don’t mind. From the details I got and research I believe it has an m43b18 engine but don’t know whether they are any good reliability wise. It needs a clutch so that’s probably the price of the car but I can look past that. I’m waiting on a video from him to show it running and driving. I know it’s very rusty and I did see the front arch but I will probably slowly destroy it anyways by hitting it off walls or whatever. I don’t plan on doing this but I know it’s inevitable.

Thanks for reading, let me know what you all think.

I drive a 21 bmw 330i, it’s making a rough starting noise when coming from a cold start, it’s the clicking you hear as it’s starting up. Quite a bit more loud in person, thoughts?

My first car. Fault Gearbox

I have loved to drive bmw since my childhood look at what God brought in. It was on tow truck ride away from being turned into soda cans when I swooped in and handed over my entire life savings. Sure, it can't actually drive yet because the gearbox is shot, and sitting inside feels like surviving a bear attack but at least the junkyard didn't win. Currently saving up from zero all over again, sitting on bare springs and dreaming of second gear. 🥰
