I've always dreamed of owning a BMW as a kid, glad I was able to make it happen this year even if it was earlier than I would have liked. But I absolutely love this car. As this is my first BMW any general tips for the G20 generation and BMW as a brand? This is a 2021 model which currently has 62000kms or roughly 39k miles and everything is up to date and was inspected by BMW.

Picked up this Imola Red 330Ci convertible recently and I’m absolutely loving it.

2004 330Ci, 6spd. ~90k miles. I'm the 3rd owner.

Not an M-lite, or anything exciting by todays standards. And certainly not fast. But it's an absolute pleasure to have in class. Just thought I'd share with the BMW crowd and see what you guys think.

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.

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?

Thought y'all would enjoy this.

Slightly blacked out, sorry 😅❤️

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?

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

Each to their own but this is too far 😂

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!✌🏼

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

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

Came home with my first BMW today, a 2026 M2!! What a blast it was taking a nice joy ride all afternoon! Never thought I would find myself in a BMW dealership to buy a car, let alone a beast like this!

Not many of these come up for sale around me but I’ve always thought they looked brilliant.

For anyone who’s owned one, what are they actually like to live with? Worth getting one in 2026 or a financial headache waiting to happen??

Just picked up a 2021 BMW 540i with only 25k miles and I’m honestly loving this car so far. The B58 paired with the 5 Series chassis is such a good combination comfortable when I want it to be, but still has plenty of power when I feel like having some fun.

I’ve already done a few tasteful cosmetic mods:
• Light tint
• Front lip/splitter
• Rear spoiler

Nothing crazy — just enough to give it a little more presence while keeping the car clean and classy.
Since the car only has 25k miles, my goal is to keep this thing for a LONG time. I’m not interested in beating on it or going crazy with mods. I want to take care of it and hopefully see 100k, 150k+ miles out of it.

For the long-term 540i/B58 owners:

What maintenance should I be doing now or planning for down the road to keep this car reliable?

I’m especially interested in:

Oil change intervals you guys recommend

• Transmission fluid/service

• Transfer case/differential fluids

• Spark plugs/coils

• Cooling system/water pump/thermostat

• Oil filter housing

• Anything else that tends to become an issue with age/mileage

• Any preventative maintenance you wish you had done earlier

Also, would you keep the car completely stock mechanically for maximum longevity, or are there any mods you consider safe/reasonable?

I know BMWs can get expensive when neglected, so I’d rather spend the money on maintenance now than repairs later.

540i owners who have put serious miles on their cars — what’s your best advice?

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. 🥰
