  1. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    To preface, this is my first time looking for a BMW and my second car, so I don’t know too much about these. This one has extensive service history as it was a lease vehicle. Valve cover gasket and oil housing filter gasket has already been done. It was on a used car lot, but a pretty trusted...
  2. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    This is my first time looking for a BMW. This would be my second car, first one was an ‘02 RSX base 5mt. I’m going to check this car out today and making a 2 hour drive down. It’s in the color I want, with the interior I want and the transmission I want. Also has the sport package which I was...

    I have a lot of obstacles in my driveway and the other night I couldn’t see, and I backed into a tree with a tiny branch that went into my rear, bumper and rear quarter panel. Any advice?
  4. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    The shop gave me an estimate for over $400 to change the park plugs. That seems very steep. Shouldn't this be a fairly simple diy job? What should I expect?
  5. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    I have determined that I definitely need to have my valve cover gasket replaced. Oil is clearly leaking out onto the manifold and elsewhere. What could I expect to pay to have the valve cover gasket replaced? It does seem like a fairly labor intensive job and if I can do it myself, I may give it...

    Last few days, I have noticed that there seems to be a burning smell coming from the engine bay after I drive my car. There are no warnings coming on. I checked the engine oil and it says that it’s fine. I kind of assume that it’s probably burning oil, but I’m not 100% sure. I have owned the car...
  7. E90/E92/E93 M3 (2008 - 2014)
    Hey everyone, saw an old thread with this exact issue that didn't have a resolution so hoping someone can help me out. Stalled while driving and had "fuel pump malfunction" message. I just replaced the fuel pump and it started right up and I let it idle for about 10 minutes before driving...

    Hi, I have a 2012 BMW F30 328i (245hp) facing a low oil temperature issue. I recently changed the thermostat, coolant, and water pump, but the oil temperature still won't go above 90 degrees Celsius. I also tested the car on a dyno, and it's giving 199hp instead of the expected 245hp...

    Hey all, I recent purchased (like 3 days ago) a Manual 2011 328i XDrive. Owner said it had an "intermittent engine light that would go on and off whenever" but claimed he didn't know what the cause of the light was. Also claimed he never saw any oil leaks or puddles in his driveway. I took it...

    I got my car back from service and think they broke it. When the headlight switch is in position 0 (headlights off, running lights on), the instrument cluster dials do not light up. Not even the speedometer. They light in every other switch position, including parking lights. I would GREATLY...

  16. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    Hey guys, new to the forum and the E46 chassis in general. Picked up a 2000 328i that ran fine for about a week, then would not crank or turn over. Everything works when the key is in the second position ( windows, AC, seats) and the key works to unlock/lock the car. I went through just about...

    I just replaced my vanos solenoids and both cam position sensors on my 2008 328i and now the car will not start. It will crank but die after about 2-5 seconds. Any clues?

    Hello and thank you in advance for the help and advice. I have a 2009 328xi, and I got a check engine light for valve cover gasket and I check and could see some significant oil build up, and I knew I needed to replace my eccentric shaft sensor so I went ahead and did the job. When I did it I...
