      Mate your gonna regret it trust me TIMING CHAIN FAILURE BE WARNED IT WILL FAIL and there is nothing you can do about it this engine is prone to failure
      Expensive expensive job at garage as gearbox has to be dropped down timing chain is on the back and the tensioner breaks causing major damage on the engine
      That’s what everyone thinks start of small that’s the wrong thing that’s why so many people end up always saying bmw it shit they buy a 4 cylinder and expect it to be reliable 🤣🤣🤣 NO CHANCE !!!! Only the 6 cylinder is reliable unfortunately 4 cylinder is a british made engine and worth scrap that’s all it is to me anyway if I was you GET RID and don’t look back and get a 6 cylinder before you come on here like the rest talking bad about bmw like there bad because your 4 cylinder let you down which NOT all the engines are like that JUST the 4 cylinder ones why because bmw doesn’t want them to last this channel is 6 cylinder channel mate you won’t be finding no 4 cylinder junk here

    Your so right about the oil change intervals. Both X3 E83 that I and the wife own were bought used with 100K millage and the inside of the engine was full of sludge, one of the X3 (mine had so much sludge that you couldn't even see the top of the springs under the fill cap) the top of those springs looked like it was covered with peanut butter. And sure enough when I bought it and drove it home I had vanos solenoid codes come up. BMW here in Canada changes oil once per year or 25,000KM. That's crazy. I had to use two treatments of AutoRx and now its super clean and I change the oil every 7K. My old E36 had 480,000KM when I sold it and it only consumed 1/2 a liter every 7K and pulled and sounded like new. The Number One Thing You Can Do Is Change That Oil Often. N52 here in Canada BMW recommends the bronze oil change Castrol Synthetic long life 5w-30 or pay more for the best grade which they call the (Gold oil change) using 0w-40. I use 0W-40 Castrol Edge, and never had valve tic. Keep that engine clean.

    Disagree on the sport button retrofit... for those of us who don't have the v10, the throttle response and rev range increase make it a lot snappier on the highway. sure, it's a 0 HP gain, but it improves the feel in a big way. Also, there are plenty of aftermarket head units that are plug and play that add bluetooth music streaming, android auto/car play, and are 100% reversible, would 100% recommend.

Luster fu ctions rr window fully down and will not go back up. ..assuming d if I leave the negative terminal on it drains the battery completely dead... battery is a month old and fear it's ruined...can you advise in what I can do to fix this problem or is the car destroyed? I have to believe some how it can be fixed ...it's my only vehicle. ..it's sad paid off and I do love the car... hoping for a miracle. ..praying to the car gods that it can be resolved!

    Revving other car doesn't make any changes to voltage, alternator gives 13.8-14.2v at any revs. Important thing is not to try to start your car with dead battery but wait for at least 5-10 minutes to get at least some current in batery and then start your car. It is safe to start any car that way. Current can't be "given", it flows ony as much as battery and other devices "ask for it" and that is why you must wait before starting car so that voltage gets stabile above 12v.

      Completely correct but I fitted this as I was paid more then this E60 is even worth to fit this system by the company, so if anything went wrong or it caused massive issues I wouldn’t have lost a penny.
      If I really liked these systems think about it wouldn’t I have fitted this to my M5 ? But unfortunately they didn’t pay me that much to do this review. But they paid me what this car is worth so it was worth it as it now means I can secure the new car for this channel.

    jump starting any modern car with sensitive electronic modules is OK so long as you use the following procedure:
    dont ever do a direct battery to battery connection for ground! use an engine ground on the car you want to start.
    On the donor vehicle turn on headlights (full) and rear heated screen (anything that uses lots of energy!) but not motors! then start it up.
    Depending on how flat the cars battery is it is best to leave it part charging for around 10 minutes (you can switch of electrical loads for this period).
    Just before and during starting the vehicle you should rev the donor car to around 3000RPM with headlamps on etc (minimizes risk of alternator voltage spikes occurring).
    ***** When the donor car has started turn on its headlights and heated rear screen etc (same as donor) before you disconnect the donor vehicle.*****
    Doing the above will eliminate the risk of spikes damaging modules (in both cars) as any potential spikes will be absorbed by the heavy electrical loads, the disconnection of the donor is the one of main concern. as the alternator is trying to produce full power to charge 2 x battery's as it is disconnected from the other vehicles load, it may suddenly cause a voltage spike!
    if the battery has been left drained flat for more than a few days it may take ages to recover back to maximum capacity (if it ever does?).

    Got my 2010 528xi dead at an insurance auction. I had to jump it with a Chevy Silverado V8 at the jump spot under the hood. The Chevy didn't have enough punch at idle so I added a jump pack on the BMW battery as well. Started just fine and no issues with electrical system. Im betting the BMW alternator puts out more amperage than the chevy? Dont see what could go wrong.

    Any help PLEASE mate cos no on seems to know.. I heard in Germany it was a recall and they did the front two actuators for free but don't know the details on that and it wasn't in U.K. as they didn't admit liability here. It's an 07 320d 6 speed manual transmission M47 lump with recent uprated turbo only done 57k miles and fully loaded had from new so I'm looking to fix the central locking and uprate the breaks cos they need doing maybe get a remap but also advice on that please with the uprated turbo and also regards the leads you mentioned some engines have which are no connected or blanked off that can be plugged in to release more power, not sure if that's applicable to the M47 2.0 diesel? I've got an e46 same M47 Lump except garret turbo from factory, so I may even do that aswell not sure or may sell that to cover the cost of the maintenance/upgraded mods on the E90 as j don't need to and the E46 still only 126k so still low for the 6speed manual 2.0 diesel. Sorry for the essay but that's the situation I trying to weigh my options but need to get as much correct information as possible on the E90 both standard, upgrades and fixes for the central locking and any standard plug in improvements that are/maybe on it already/hidden?

    Sat Nav not working in my 06 e61. Doesn't recognise disc. Guy on ebay offering a fix for £160 do you know of a cheaper alternative? Also my manual height adjuster for my thigh extender isn't working. Any help greatly appreciated. Just subscribed. Many thanks.

    I think the 1st don't is what broke my 05 E61.... all the modules seem fine though, just heavy steering and white smoke from the engine. Is there a module for the steering?

    Well the E90 pre LCI grills make the front look rediculous and Banglesque. I can't stand these at all. The part on the hood looks so unfitting.
    Especially on darker colours (darkblie/black/darkgray) a dark grill looks really good with dark grills (kind of more "sporty" and agressive of course). From E90 LCI onwards: No problem with chrome.
    First thing I changed on my red E30 Was going back to OEM chrome grills.
