Re: Lucky escape for cyclist!

Dreadfully stupid driver of the parked car, but great reaction from the cabdriver.

His response on Twitter was a little silly though, assuming an Über driver wouldn't have been able to stop in time to save the cyclist.

Using this incident to badmouth Über.

Re: BMWLand forum down?

I haven't been able today to visit BMWLänder.

The site simply doesn't load.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Perhaps a little disappointing that Matt's family will not facilitate separating the Land's data, but quite exciting news about BMWLänder.

Well, you have to admit it looks neat parked together like this.  :)

Perhaps it's a result of OCD...  :noexpression:

Still (wishfully?) hoping it will be re activated. I'm checking the site regularly, but so far no signs of that yet.

Just like other Landers, missing it.  :-[

520d, squeaky belt

Thank you to global moderator pvr welcoming us, BMWLanders! :) Hope I may take the liberty of asking a question about my humble 2009 520d (E61). I started to notice a faint squeaky noise coming from the engine when running. Opening the bonnet it appears to be coming from the rotating of a belt (cam ...
