    Hey all, I have a bmw 1 series 2008 e87, last year in the cold seasons the engine light came on and I had to replace both sensors, fill the fuel last 3 quarters and have a long drive as my cat was sulpherized, this year I’m having the same issue but I assume after changing the sensors and spark...

    Hi, I was heading home after finishing my work, but stopped for gas and filled up the tank like 80%, the tank was at like 30% before. And then when I put my key in the start hole, nothing happened. The key did not stick and no lights were turned on at all. I tried holding it and pressing the...

    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, Last year i got a pair of LCI AHL headlights for really really cheap, they had been crashed so one of them had some cracks in the housing and the other had a hole in the lense.
