I have owned the F30 320i for approximately 2 years. Power is ok, can overtake most cars on the road, and no issues with the reliability. My mechanic told me this engine and the 8-speed gearbox seldom have issues.

Agree...I drove F30 for 7 years 135,000km and no major issues but itchy hand sold it and bought G20, no regrets though it is superb.

Hi all 118i/ F40owners,

anyone know where I can get the Protection screen for the centre display?
 

thanks in advance.

Anyone still find E36 appealing? Haha

I don’t mind E39

Hi, sorry I haven’t collected my ride yet. 2020 BMW 320i (G20). Can I check if the latest Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G fits into the wireless charging compartment? Thank you in advance

Hi All,

Anyone knows if we can find out where our BMW was manufactured based on chassis number? if yes, can anyone share with me where to check?

Thanks in advance.

You can see the place of manufacture from the vin code decoder.

Hi bros,

I am looking into purchasing a used 2011 E92 M3 coupe competition package. I am not a chiongster but attracted to the design, technology and pedigree of the M car. Very fully aware of the huge road tax, insurance and maintenance costs. It has a year to go so my costs are factored in to an extent. R there any other issues regarding this model that perhaps someone can highlight to me? Maybe it is a YOLO thing or mid life crisis.

If you drive a year, just get it check before you buy.

If no issue, just drive till the END.

Looks like the F series got lesser problems than the E series. Especially the engine oil leak issue.

My F20 reaching 5 years and 95K mileage. No major issues except both the front and back wiper water nozzle failed and some "tiak tiak" sound from the sterring wheel, but PML sorted it out under warranty.

Yeah...E series definitely scared a lot of people off BMW 😂
