r/BMW

Mark my words in seven years and I'm pulling up in an M5 Competition. I'll be back to update this post.

I currently drive 2021 2021 with almost 60k miles and I'm looking to lease something for 2 years until i3 touring is out, which will be my next car.

I have 3 favorite BMW's that I love dearly but they're not in the cards since they're expensive and I don't currently own a garage.

E30 is in my opinion the most beautiful M3 ever made, iconic and timeless. Z8 is the most beautiful roadster I've ever seen with probably the sexiest engine on top and G99 is a modern land yacht that has many characters and suit your family in many ways.

I have already winter matte black wheels, so though maybe try silver for summer, but cant decide. Please pich in.

Hello, my current car is a 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe X-drive.

it is currently tuned on BM3 stage 2+ E50, I know I am basically at the limit of stock turbo and DI. I don't want to put any more money in it.

I was wondering what a decent upgrade would be, F80? G87 M2? ZL1? I have a budget of around 40-60k USD.

I want it to be able to actually notice a difference in the driving experience because honestly, my current car is quite fast, Manual preferred except for an F80.

Please give me feedback, looking for some help. Thanks

I’m shopping for my first car and as you see per the title I don’t know which Bmw is the best, so i’ve compiled a list.

-There’s other car brands listed as i’m just generally browsing my area for what’s reliable, but BMW is taking the cake and eating it too.

- I test drove a 2015 428i and LOVED it. The only other one i’ve driven is the 2011 128i and I love it too lol. This is really hard.

In your opinion what is the best valued BMW for speed, longevity, and mileage?

Just got a request for a release of liability, BMW NA claims it “slid” down the driveway. Nothing funnier than it holding on for dear life via the charge cable.

What we thinking on this? My family just picked it up
16k miles
One owner zero accidents
Good maintenance history

Just got it my first BMW, very excited! The 430i gran coupe Xdrive.
I am thinking about changing the grill to the shadowline one, anybody know where i can buy it? (i live in europe).
What do you all think?

I was driving home today and I heard a super loud screeching sound. It was so loud that I thought it was a garage truck or something. So I rolled down my window to hear it better.

Lo and behold, that screeching was coming from my car. I pulled into a parking lot to make sure nothing was obviously wrong or hanging from the car.

I was only a few hundred yards from home so I kept it slow and went home.

After a quick internet search, my first place to inspect was between the dust shield and the brake rotor. Since I was home in the garage, I pulled the wheel and took the opportunity to clean the wheel. and sure enough, there was a little stone lodged between the brake rotor and the dust shield!

If this happens to anyone else, the easier solution is to drive backwards at low speeds and tap the brakes.

Forget your Ms and M-lites

This is the absolute pinnacle of BMW engineering

New feature unlocked. My car no longer displays the correct song info on the main screen. The display in the instrument cluster gets it right, but not the main screen. As you can see in the pic, the car is showing two different songs playing when in fact it’s only one. Anyone else having this issue?

It seems to be in perfect condition and only 25,000 miles, they’re asking 20,900$ which seems fair for the salvage title, is this a good decision? Where I live you can insure a salvage title but I don’t know if that makes it worth it

I have mixed feelings about posting someone else’s car with no known attribution, but this sighting in the wild was just too great not to share.

Spotted in LA today.

My windshield randomly cracked from the corner of the windshield to the middle of the windshield. BMW confirmed there is no sign of impact that caused the damage.

The dealership had the car inspected from the master tech (BMW North America) to have the windshield swapped out as a warranty claim, and his denial reason was from having my radar detector mounted to my windshield, and the suction cup was too much stress. Please see pictures…

I called corporate and their appeal process is to literally ask the same person who denied the claim, and he confirmed he believes the suction cup caused the damage, and therefor it’s an outside source.

The dealership wants over $2k to replace my windshield, and even the dealership said they have never seen this before.

BMW NA said there is no one else I can speak to, or anything that can be done. They are literally holding firm that my little suction cup caused the windshield to break.

What can do I do here? Who do I email? Who do I call? I’m not going to pay on principle that they actually think a car windshield is fragile enough to break from a suction cup.

Thanks!
