    Hi all i relatively new to this and just wanted to ask my first question before I buy my first BMW :) I’ve been looking at two, I can’t link below as it’s my first post, a 116i and 118i. (and no I can’t afford to get another few grand to get a 120) The black 118i has recently had a new timing...

    Hi all, what is the fuel rail pressure targets for an n13 116i.? my car at idle is around 69 Bar and WOT 145 bar. WOT is fine but idle FRP Is slightly higher when using the Mini R56 Cooper S as a target to compare And it is around 50 bar at idle and 150 bar at more or less full throttle as this...

    Hi all, My F20 Pre Lci 116i has normal non dual zone climate control- the standard one with a heater knob on the right and a knob for airflow vent direction on the left. I noticed that when the heater is turned to warm position, and when the airflow knob is at the front position, the vent...

    Hi, my 2012 116i M Sport is so difficult to start in winter (when below 4 degree). I went to a full services and check the start motor and battery, all test went fine, no fault code. It is so difficult to start the engine in winter, sometimes the power will cut off and sometimes the RPM will go...

    Hi all, im new here. I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can get a proper performance exhaust system for my BMW 116i 2.0L MSport (e87). I know this is a comfort/slow cheap model like everywhere has said. But this is the most I can do for my age and insurance. It is not cheap I can tell you...

    Hi Folks, I am considering buying a F20 116i or 118i in the near future, mainly the earlier models, 2012-2015 What should I be looking out for? Ive heard of coolant issues and leaks from Valve cover gasket, Oil Filter housing gaskets, Vanos Solenoids and the Water pump leaking. Timing chain is...

    The place where I work has a 2005 BMW 116i SE for sale that needs its timing chain replaced. Although the price is pretty cheap, the miles are around 112k, which is what scares me. I'll be honest, I thought when buying cars you should aim to go below 100k miles; however, one of the guys I work...
  9. General Modification Discussion
    Right. I’ve got this 2012 116i and I’m wanting to do a couple bits to it. First of all I’m going to swap out kidney grills for some black ones and potentially change the mirror caps but not really sure what to do after that. Please give me any recommendations or things you guys have done. I’m...

    Hi all, As the title suggests i've got a issue with my power window control on the drivers side. The main control will wind the drivers side window down no issue, but will only do the passenger side intermittently. the control on the passenger side winds down the passenger window no issue...

  13. 1st Gen. 1 Series (2004-2013 | E81, E82, E87, E88)
    Hi chaps, I have a 116i but i assume that this would be similar to 118 and 120is. I posted a few months back about my car overheating. Yesterday I blew a coolant hose causing coolant to go everyhwere in a cloud of steam.I was EXTREMELY lucky as there was a garage 400m down the road and i took it...

    Hi guys, I had a CEL on yesterday. After scanning the car I got a p0133 Response Bank 1 sensor - O2 sensor circuit slow. What do I do to solve this issue and what could cause it? I should add that all the freezeframe data looks fine except one that seems to have a static value. I've cleared...

    Morning everyone! I can't find an introduction forum so I hope this one will do! I'm Richard, I've just recently bought a second hand 2013 BMW F20 116i. The dealer was a bit of a scam artist, and I've had some problems (the latest being a Drivetrain Fault), but the car is mostly working and I...

    Hi guys, I have a 2013 116i that's been misfiring pretty badly during acceleration, and for some weird reason out of pretty sharp corners. I have fitted new coils and plugs but that didn't resolve the issue. It's been to 2 shops for a diagnose. at the first shop these codes came up: 130304 (cam...
