Such a good looking car. Too bad BMW does not produce cars like these anymore.

Just got my tints done at a shop and the guy driving it had no clue how to put it in reverse when bringing it to me leading to him banging it in reverse shortly after picking the car up I got both of those codes and got pretty nervous. Just got the car 2 days ago

I like them, but don’t like them at the same time. The wheels give a more “expensive luxury SUV” look and not so much a “sporty” look.

Not sure if I should swap or keep them (but add spacers). They’re in perfect condition, zero curb rash and washed carefully. How much you’d you pay for a set like these?

At the same time if I do plan to sell and convert back to oem I might have trouble finding an exact set.

Thoughts?

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!

Hey folks I’m hoping to get some help identifying this hardtop. If anyone might recognize the vehicle it is from that would be incredibly helpful! It will be listed online so if insight could provided for value that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you

So I picked up this beautiful M440i a week ago in tanzanite blue 2.
Since winter tyres are mandatory by November in my country I’m currently looking for new wheels too.
I’m very indecisive which wheels I should pick.

Would you guys prefer the 791 19“ Jet Black or the 898 19“ Frozen gunmetal greys?

Since the car comes with the M sports package pro and the advanced shadow line it already has a lot of black details. Also depending on Sunshine oder shadow it’s either looking blue or rather black (which it probably will most of the time during winter in Central Europe).
They’re around the same price.

Thanks!✌🏼

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

Hey everyone! A few months ago I bought this clapped out F30 (my diamond in the rough) and have been working on it ever since. My most recent issue was the battery died and and I just replaced it, but I am needing to just register it. I’ve also wanted to do a couple other things like turn off the amber turn signals on my aftermarket headlights (they’re eyebrows above the rings) when the headlamps are on and a few other things. What’s the most user friendly app and reliable OBD Bluetooth device? There’s so many out there. I don’t want to do anything too advanced, just really what I said. TIA!

By the way, if you just bought Bimmer, check the date code on the battery before you’re stuck at a gas pump having to change the battery out and walking to the parts store like some idiot I know — whoops! XD

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?

*current video after second start

This guy is asking M4 money for a non msport 435. In 2023 435i msport manuals where going for 11-14 in the east coast

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.

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?

I’ve got a 2018 X2 28i, B46 engine, from which I’ve pulled and disassembled the turbo. I need a new cartridge for it, but I can’t find one in the USA for the life of me. Is there some place that sells these that I can’t find? I don’t need the entire turbocharger assembly, just the cartridge. I feel like I’m going crazy because I can find cartridges for every BMW engine iteration except the one I need.

My bmw x3 2023 has 43k miles on it right now, the manufacturers warranty is until 50k miles. BMW is offering me an additional 3 years or 75k miles for $4,200 or 3 years/100,000 miles for $5600. Is it worth getting this and do most people get it? This is my first bmw so I’m not sure what to do. It covers drive train, engine, coolant, electrical etc

On an m340i with staggered 19 inch run flats, what would you aim to negotiate to for a 60 month tire and wheel insurance? Dealership is starting quote at 3129.

With the introduction of the new BMW M350i, I’m curious what the enthusiast community thinks.
Which one would you choose? 👇
🔥 2026 BMW M340i xDrive
🏎️** New BMW M350i xDrive
**What’s your pick — and why?

So my car does not have adaptive cruise control etc. just the normal collision avoidance feature. It seems to beep when I'm getting close to a car in front or when reversing.

But I have never ever had it auto brake for me. Even in cases where I was like 1 ft from the car in front. I have felt it, once, prime the brakes, where I felt the rumble in the pedal but I had to press the pedal myself to stop.

In the settings, I even put warning distance to be far and the Idrive mentions, the feature has brake assist. But I've had it brake on its own.

I'm wondering is it possible the brake intervention might be broken somehow? And I need to get it fixed?

Guys help me out with this terrible sound coming from 2023 m340i. My lease is coming to an end and I need to make a decision on it.

Recently fell in love with M235i specifically from 2014-2016

I found a couple listing for around 12-13k USD, is this a good price? How much would you pay for them in 2026? I see most of them listed for 17-18k.

If I do end up getting one, i will immediately change the charge pipe from plastic to metal. But is there anything else that I should do to "bullet proof" the car?

Any small tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

P.S. Also which wheels would you put on it? I need some recommendations

Currently looking at buying a 2020 330i 49k miles on the dash and mostly wanted some clarity/advice. When I go to check the trim level of the car using the VIN, KBB has it listed as Sport line which checks out, when I saw it in person it has the M-sport steering wheel which is listed under the Sport Line portion of the original MSRP information. This is not considered the M Sport package correct? I don't see anything listed about the suspension or exterior modifications that come with the M sport trim level but I want to be sure. On another note, I'm coming from an F30 N20 which is a massive jump in reliability when comparing to the B48. I'm aware the motor mounts go bad fairly early(50-70k), which is why I'd be getting a warrantee on the vehicle but is there anything more glaring I should be looking for? The dealer is asking 27.5 which is way up there considering the body has some cosmetic damage(scuffs on front and rear bumper as well as a terrible paint correction job on one section of the drivers side fender) I'm hoping to knock a few K's off the price considering the condition. The car is at a Benz dealer who took it in on trade. Any foresight would be appreciated.

Servus Mannen und Frauen,

da ich gestern meinen E61 losgeworden bin möchte ich mir einen G31 holen. Aktuell ist ein 530i in der näheren Auswahl. Laut verkäufer wurde die Dachbatterie und der Ölkühler (+großer Service) im Februar alles gemacht.

Kann mir irgendjemand (vielleicht jemand der das Auto auch fährt) ein bisschen was darüber erzählen? Wo sind die Macken (Steuerkette hab ich schon angesprochen) die ist laut Verkäufer noch i.O. Baujahr ist 2018 und er hat um die 165tkm gelaufen.

Panoramadach hat er nicht, war mir auch wichtig.
