Not often you can turn a profit on a 'regular' car so if you're happy all is good

It begs the question in my mind though, why did you buy it?

Just fancied a change lol!

So after an e70 40d, F15 M50d and then a 6 month old G05 M50d, its time to say goodbye. Car has sat on the drive since purchase in July. Took it into work to do an interim oil change at 9k on Saturday. Thought to myself "love the car, but it's done 950 miles since purchase" and it's has cost me more ...

I've notice that my car (2020 M50d) seems to have a tendency to let the screen mist up much more than my last M50d (F15) or 40d (E70) before it.. So much so, that on a recent 40 mile drive in damp weather, with just two of us in the car, I found myself regularly hitting the screen demist button for ...

I've got the Westfalia, aparrently identical to the dealer fit option, so God knows.

Luckily it's not a biggie..

Update on this.. The towbar would work fine with a "normal" hitch, but not with the Alko anti snake fitted to our caravan, as it's about 30mm closer to the car than a "plain" hitch. No biggie, carbon trim comes off with 4 screws and have replaced the 2 "bonded" areas with HD velcro. Works a treat ...

Can a mod move to e53 forum?

Personally, I can't see the "bubble" bursting anytime soon - Think about it, all those traders/dealers that have paid top ££ for the stock sitting on their forecourts, are they suddenly going to think - "I know, lets chop a couple of £k off every car" I think not, they can't afford to do that..

It does make access for removal a LOT easier if the knuckle joint to the rack is disconnected. I presume they have simply not lined it back up correctly, which is a pretty basic mistake, seeing as it's "keyed"

It's here...

I suspect you've overheated the pump..

I'd leave it overnight to cool down.

Due to this "shortage" a LOT of options are not available, and indeed have not been available for a good few months. Apparently, BMW are contacting people who ordered new cars upto 12 months ago, and telling them that although the car is now "in build" certain options they originally chose are not ...

Good to know, fitting mine tomorrow!

Flirted with this idea a while ago. When i'm back in the UK soon the temptation to upgrade again is strong. Anyone any thoughts? https://www.adcbmw.uk/product/id6-nav-multimedia-retrofit-bmw-10-25-i-drive-cic-nbt-e70-e71-x5-x6-android-8-1/ https://www.adcbmw.uk/product/id7-nav-multimedia-retrofit ...

One possibility is that the car hasn't been updated to reflect the online service portal? Lazy techs sometimes do this when in a rush, update online and then not bother doing the car on the basis that "it'll get updated next time it's connected" which is true - BUT if it hasn't been connected, and ...
