Re: Sill and Boot decal.

Have a look on Realoem. Use the last 7 of you VIN to pull up your model and you should be able to get the part numbers. Then it’s just a case of hunting them down. I can find the left/right door sill covers, but not the black strip protection, is that all one part ? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/...

Re: New Transmission £9698

Could you say where you had it done please. Complained to bmw about my M box being a bit savage and jerky but they say there is nothing wrong with it. Probably because it's under bmw warranty and if it was duff it would be new box time. I just think it needs a service. BMW Rybrook Worcester Use the...

Re: New Transmission £9698

Update** 48 hours ago (Fri) i took the car to the indi BMW garage that i found through the ZF website. They have been on courses with ZF so i was happy to find them. They had the car all day, changed the pan/filter, emptied and topped up at correct temps, quoted £500, but the actual cost was £465. I...

Re: E70 LCI STOLEN !

It's mad when you think how much these motors cost, and the software security is void, all you can do is use hardware security measures, and a tracker for when they fail.

Re: New Transmission £9698

I found a BMW indi who was on the ZF list on their website, so hopefully he will be clued up on what to do, i would never attempt anything more than a fuse change myself. Thanks for the advice, i shall be taking it there tomorrow to make an appointment, i'll let you know how the transmission holds up.

Re: New Transmission £9698

Get it to someone who rebuilds boxes as spending 10k on a car that cost 11k doesn't make an sense and as for a private sale its game over and no comeback I'm afraid plus if it drove ok for 20 miles pre sale so surely there can't be that much wrong and if the 93k Is genuine it should have plenty of ...

Re: New Transmission £9698

I would take it to an indi and get them to do a oil/filter change on the auto box. Ask them to clear all the codes while the have it plugged in doing the box reset. Then just drive it as normal and see how it goes. Some codes could well be old ones that never got cleared so best to start again fres...

Re: New Transmission £9698

BMW only replace and not repair. You need to see what the printouts of the faults actually are, but they will almost certainly not need a new box. You don’t say whereabouts you are, but there are firms who will recover your car, rebuild the gearbox and return it. That will typically be anything up ...
