I have a car that's coming to 8 years. Trade in value isn't fantastic, not sure if the SEs I spoke with have less ideal networks, cos most offering me paper value. What other options do I have? Any way I at least get some money back for the body itself? Worst case I am contemplating keeping...

Hi guys, need some advice from anyone familiar with coolant maintenance. I notice BMW inspections mention coolant checks and top ups. but wouldn't coolant need to be flushed every now and then? brake fluid changes are listed every 2 years minimum, but i dont see anything mentioning coolant...

Hi Anybody know a store selling Leathermaster protection cream and vital cream? I am finding it harder to locate their products, Home Fix doesn't seem to stock it anymore.

Over the weekend the weather was pretty wet, and I got a shock driving up a car park slope. It was just as the gantry barrier lifted for me to drive up, and as I stepped on the gas, I saw the dsc yellow light flashing and felt the power cut off. Luckily I managed to step on the brake fast...

Has anyone ever called the BMW Mobile service for engine oil top up? I had a top up warning light flash, and cos it's the long weekend, had no way to pick up a bottle on my own. The operator had no clue how much it would cost (I was hoping to use that as a gauge of the oil they had stocked), and...

My car just started giving me a yellow engine oil warning on shutdown. Not a big deal, oil monitor says to top up a litre of oil. Only thing is, the last oil change was done 11 months ago, and i've run about 3000km since then. Does that sound like a bit too much oil is disappearing? That first...

Hi all, wondering if anyone knows of a good car wash service to recommend? Most of the old similar threads are outdated. Looking for those that work by hand, and don't use pressure water jets. Or at least don't use it on all parts of the car - eg: not at the window seals, cos that can...

I always read posts regarding rubber seal problems etc, and i gotta say: pls try Zymol Seal. I use it religiously on my convertible door/window and roof seals. And it's kept my car interior dry and noise free. But today I got to put it to the test:- A friend complained her MINI was making...

Has anyone ever had the DSC, ABS and handbrake lights come on the dash, in yellow? I'm trying to get an idea how long it'll take for pml to fix it. Their staff say it might just need a reprogram, but the next avail service slot is fri and i'd rather not leave it over the wknd if it needs more...

Does anyone here use the above mentioned product, or perhaps a third party version in their car? I'm wondering if it's possible to use it or modify it slightly so i can place other things on it. Eg mobile phones, or wireless tpms monitors like the tyre dog one. I dont like those adhesive...

Noticed something weird in my car. It's a 6 cylinder 2.5L valvetronic engine. When I'm accelerating (about 2000 - 2500 rpm), i've seen the rev needle suddenly jump up before the gear shifts up. This has happened on medium slopes, and roads with a slight gradient. Typically low speeds since its...
