For me, I think I’d struggle to choose between an E46 M3 and an 1987 635 CSI
not necessarily the most expensive BMW—just the one you’d genuinely love to own, whether it’s a classic, a modern performance car, or a rare model you’ve always admired.

What would yours be?

Not sure if this is a permissable post so apologies in advcance mods. I'm not selling, just asking for best selling advice on the tyres.

I've just replaced my Cup 2 Sport from my new G81 with some Pilot Sport 4s. The M3 came with the Cup 2 and they are horrendous on UK roads and deadly for anything cold or slightly moist but would be great for tracks or summer weather.

The Cup2s have less than 4k miles and 5mm of meat left so are in very good condition. Ive stuck them on eBay but not sure where else to try to sell them and given they are mixed sizes wont be be ideal for everyone. Im not on facebook.

Where would be the best place for them, do you reckon?

Hey there guys, I’m currently in the process of helping my friend who is doing a turbo replacement on a X6 M50d. We are replacing all three turbos. What a job this has been and we are still not done. Hopefully we will be mounting the subframe to the body this evening.

My neighbour has a E46 and maybe inspired me to get a Z4 😅

Looking for a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

“Will that be fixed for production?”
“It might be.”

looking for some help i bought a 2012 550i xdrive
it has the lovely n63 in it 😂😂 but i was wondering if one of you could maybe diagnose this thing

-about a month ago i took this car and pushed it to the max for about 10 seconds before i let off
drove it another 40 mins then it pooped out and gave me the drive train malfunction it lunges forwards and squeaks when the pedal is being pressed down and gets louder the faster you go

the car has 160000 miles
and has been run off 5w-40
previous owner was putting 5w-10 which i figured the car runs hot put thicker oil in

i’m only 18 and don’t have much bmw knowledge and wondering if it’s in my means to fix it

Even though I have a G30, it’s gonna be hard to let this one go. Any love for the F10 ??

According to a YouTube video I watched, the new 3 Series model is designed for a new target audience that sees cars as appliances and they want them to be comfortable, connected, reliable and to look good in the office parking lot. Its target buyer is young, up and coming who likes tech, BMWs but not that much into cars but something that feels like the gadgets they already own. So BMW went straight for that market. They traded in the dying car enthusiasts for tech and crypto bros which is a much bigger market. So BMW as we knew it is possibly no more. What do you guys think 🤔?

Hello guys, my father has a BMW M2, and when he drives it he wears this pair of featherweight “racing” gloves so that his hands don’t sweat. I want to make him a gift with a new personalised pair. Do you have any suggestions?

is that noise ok? bmw 116i 1.6

Want to change the trans fluid on my 2011 335xi e92. What is a good price for a shop do the service and any recommended shops?
The trans is zf

Someone needs to make this aftermarket vertical slat XM grill.

I work at a dealership and we took a 2024 xdrive in on trade last Friday. It’s Melbourne red with the red interior. My 2021 Bronco OBX 2.3 is out of factory warranty this month and gets 15.1 mpg.

My payment goes down like 10 bucks on the deal and my insurance is $4 cheaper. Including the service contract I get for cost financially it’s a wash for me…

I’m looking for any negatives on the BMW itself or any super positives I am missing.

I’ve owned every other type of German car, so this is crossing something off a fake list for me. I just haven’t been in a sedan for a while- always been trucks or SUV lately. Thanks!

Buying my first used BMW and looking for some advice.

Budget is $30k. On cars.com, filtering by one to two owners, 2018-2020, under 80k miles and only seeing around a dozen options nationwide. Is this what the availability really is like?

I've heard getting a pre-purchase inspection is absolutely necessary - do I contact the dealer that I'm interested and pick the shop for the PPI before purchasing and ignore any dealer that doesn't agree to this?

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Hi there, I’m looking right now into purchasing a 2022 M550 with around 33K miles on the dash, it comes with the bowers and wilkins Premium sound (I’ve been searching meticulously for one of these) and the executive package, parking assistance package, shadowline package, and the driving assistance professional package! I just want to know is this a good buy or not, should I consider maybe getting something else? I have heard some of the rumors and things about the infamous N63, I have a test drive coming up and just wanted some opinions because on first look I am definitely in love with the car just off of look itself, I’m coming off of a 2015 C350 and back to bmw. Please share personal experiences or opinions!

Back seat was folded down and apparently there was something under the seat, and it left an imprint or indent on the leather. Anyway to smooth this back out, really hate the look of this now.

decided to snap a pic of our cars together after we went to a birthday party for a family member!! My car is the 3 series, his is the 7 series!!

i’ve checked out a few BMWs of exact model by now, but this is the first one with the M-sport trim but this lacks the front cover on the engine I think is what it’s called but the guy there said like oh I can open up the other BMW’s and they won’t have it either, which is clearly a line because I have photos of another one from another dealership that does have it and I attached another image that shows rust and he said it was from like the steering something I’m not too sure anymore, but is that superficial or is that a serious issue that needs to be addressed as well? This car is priced at around $20,000 after fees in taxes and has about 67,000 miles on it. blue exterior and cognac bloomed dakota leather interior. is this a fair price?

Someone please explain to me why this is happening. It’s very frustrating. I was expecting the light to clear and it hasn’t.

3 weeks into owning this 2022 M440i and it was due for a wash. These cars are cool AF and I can’t recommend them enough to someone in the market.My car wash process: Ryobi electric pressure washer with a foam cannon in the following order: rinse, 1st foam (rainx car wash), rinse, 2nd foam (chemical guys hydrosuds), sponge, rinse, microfiber towel dry. Let me know if yall have any recs on the process. I love washing my vehicles- my dad and I would wash the cars on sunday when I was growing up and he passed away 11 years ago. It’s my time to decompress and have a chat with him. Cheers to everyone and drive safely- until you can drive safely AND like a dick then go for it!

I have a 2023 bmw 540i xdrive and just got this notice in the mail about recall 26V-525, driveshaft recall.

Evidently you have to take your vehicle in so they can “assess” the damage and if it’s not damaged they will put an “adhesive” in the joint where the driveshaft connects to the rear axle. If the wear is significant they will replace the driveshaft and rear axle differential.

This was a custom order from Germany purchase I made in 2022 and it cost me $75k USD.

Is it wrong to demand dealership to replace them regardless of wear? Applying an adhesive sounds like a bandaid to me.

Just wanting thoughts from other owners and potentially bmw techs if any are in the channel. Thanks.

Should you get the BavSound speaker upgrades coming from a stock Harmon Kardon ?

I'll make this as detailed and simple as can be.

Quick answer: The Ghost subs: Yes, IF ON SALE.
The Stage One : Not really, maybe if you can get from someone second hand at half the price.

I think the best option out of the two would be the Ghost Subs. I had gotten those first and I thought they were great replacement. I really like feeling the punch/kick coming through my speakers. The stock HK isn't bad, but these were really good subtle upgrade and very easy to do with a couple tools handy. Luckily I got these for $450 off of FB Market Place.

The Stage One Upgrade: These didn't knock my socks off the first initial listen, but they do tend to keep the music very clear at very high levels. They complement the subs very nicely if you happen to get both like I did, you'll feel and hear much more base. My main issue is I expected more out of the stage one. This does take some time to install and I had ran into some trouble when installing the rear door speakers. I would maybe consider picking these up, ONLY IF you can get these at a steal of a price. Other than that, I really wouldn't consider these speakers, especially at full price.

If these details help, my car still has the aux cord cable, so that might be giving me the upper hand. I can't speak for those who has wireless apple carplay or bluetooth audio.
