i took my washer fluid reservoir out to diagnose why the wiper fluid wasn’t spraying. i found that the pump is bad, and ordered a replacement, but it comes in like 4 days. do you think it would cause an electrical issue if i just put the wheel back in while i waited for the pump to come?
Stupid me thinking it was just the reflction or water marks. No. Someone’s antenna got ripped of their car, got stuck in the brush and I was the first one to go after apparently…
Damage is €5,5k , good thing I’m all risk insured.
Sidenote: the scrathes go from upper front bumber and reach out all to the rear bumper. Damage expert my insurance sent told me it weren’t scratches anymore but rather damage. Everything has got to be repainted and both rear and front windshield have got to be replaced.
Once this black hole consumes the entire car, will it stop? Or is the neighborhood,state, country & solar system next? Is ANYONE SAFE????
Trying to find an alternative bolt for my headlamp dealer wants 40$ for one single bolt. I believe it’s a m6x33mm
So got smoke coming into the cabin on gentle freeway drive to work this morning.
Looks like coning from crank case vent hose(turbo inlet to crankcase)
Oil blasted on enging shield right above that pipe.
Could be crqcked under the silver foil, idk.
Ran codes(see image) 1FBD08 ready to drive. MSA deactivation request from BDC)
Tried to start to verify where leak(crank then hard clunk.
Flashed back to stock tune and car started. Kicking tons of smoke out exhaust for 30 seconds.(see image)
Now just a bit of smoke out exhaust, but constant.
What do I do?
I was hoping just that breather hose fron inlet to crank case was just cracked, but why so much oil spray?
Please help!
I'm looking into buying an M sport or aftermarket steering wheel for my F30, and I'm seeing different sites, some have custom steering wheels for 800$ like flexxmotorsport.au , which is a bit too much for me right now. I guess you could argue that you shouldn't put a cheap steering wheel on a BMW, but are there any more affordable or at least reputable options from reputable sellers?
I've seen some people ask about steering wheels on AliExpress, and I found a listing for about 110-120 euros, with good reviews, but I am still rather skeptical.
Should I plead guilty or not guilty for this NY windshield tint ticket?
I live in south jersey. If I plead not guilty, will I have to appear in court in person? The court is about 2.5 hours away from me, so I’m trying to figure out if it’s even worth.
What would you guys do in this situation?
As per the title I am strongly considering upgrading the brakes on my car to the M Sport 370/380 set up on my F32 420i and I have a couple questions:
What coding will this take to get working properly
Will the fit under 18” 400m wheels
Hey guys,
I'm planning an install for some high-draw accessories on a 2020 430i. To do this safely and avoid touching sensitive factory modules, I want to pull a dedicated positive line straight from the rear battery area.
I looked into tapping into the main rear Power Distribution Box (the assembly right off the positive terminal). It looks like there are a few unused slots on that block.
Has anyone done this successfully? What exact crimp terminals or plastic housing connectors are required to pin into the factory distribution box safely? Also, if anyone has any links to build threads or tutorials on wiring into the F3x trunk area without triggering the IBS, I’d highly appreciate it. Is there any more appropriate way?
Thank you!
In the last two weeks I got engine too hot warning twice. I try to test the water pump and it looks like the coolant stream is not constant. Is this water pump needs to be replaced?

A lot of overthinking.
I've owned this car for 9 years.
Climate control gaarage kept. I worked the
night shift for 7 of those years so very minimal
sunlight contact.
Ceramic window tint
Everything else is factory.
Charge pipe has been replaced (preemptively)
Fresh Brembo brake pads, front and
rear.
I get it serviced at the BMW dealership every
oil change.
What would this be worth? I don't reallly
want to trade it in.
I still love it.
I am trying to find if anyone changed the the halogen bulbs to led what is the results and what is the bulbs you use
I am looking to buy this one is it ok and fit good with depo headlights ?
I am trying to flash my 2014 bmw 328i (n26) back to stock and my bootmod3 tuning software keeps getting interrupted at 87%. I haven’t had any trouble flashing between tunes in the past, but now that bootmod3 has switched from the web based software to the app I can’t re-lock my dme.
Anything helps, thank you!
I’m getting some 437m rims put onto my 340i. Looks pretty good to me, but I would like to get some other views. I don’t want ps4s bc of how expensive they are. I’m RWD btw.
Was going to the store and when I turned on the engine it sounded a bit different. A distinct sound. And when the engine had warmed up a bit (rpms dropped under 1k) the sound was there almost the second I touched the gas pedal.
Did some research and could this be rod knock? At complete idle it sounds normal and no extra vibrations. No power loss either (though I was driving with a light foot bcs I was scared). Didn’t consider timing chain because I’ve read that sounds like a supercharger almost but still could be.
I contacted BMW dealership and set up an inspection for tomorrow. My question is only what do you guys think it is?
Currently on stock wheels painted black.
