  1. M135iX
    Hi all Brand new to the forum. I have recently placed an order for an M135i X-drive - but now am panicking that it may not be useable with a rear facing car seat. Can anyone shed some light on the use of this car with a rear facing car seat in the back? I am 5 foot 8 and my wife is 5 foot 7...

    E87 2004 Hey guys, So recently my rear parking sensors started acting up... Firstly when I wanted to go in reverse it just started beeping as the car was against something very close(MAX). I thought it just got snow on them or got iced a bit so I went and cleaned them by finger ( I didn't see...

    Hi All. I recently purchased a 2018 m140i. Really enjoying the car but noticed something different on my instrument cluster when compared to a mates. Under the rev counter, I have the standard fuel consumption gauge that moves a needle depending on how hard i am in the throttle but it does not...

    Hello, really sorry if I've posted this to the wrong location, I've only posted a hello in here before. I just tried jacking up the car according to this diagram. I have been EXTREMELY stupid and jacked it at the circular divot just before the point on the diagram (thinking it was the right...

    Hello BabyBMW, Today, I want to regale you with the misadventures I've had with my 2005 E87 BMW 120i (pre-LCI model). It's like a never-ending sitcom, and I'm the bumbling protagonist! So, grab some popcorn and get ready to chuckle at my expense. It all started innocently enough when my car's...

    Hi there, hoping someone can help identify this as I keep coming up short. I got a 1 series 116d 2010 model. When I bought it, it had this slight clicking noise when the clutch is fully depressed and again when released, seems to dissappear in 3rd gear but the sound may just be muffled. I've...

    I am currently having a misfire or sometimes there is an hesitation in my engine that will eventually clear if I keep slowly giving it gas. I have brand new Ignition coils, switched out my low pressure fuel sensor. However when i changed my spark plugs, this issue went away for a day. Everything...

    Hello! I am looking for help in fixing a problem with my BMW 1 series e87. I have a problem with throttle lag which means it sometimes doesn't want to get out of first gear. But if you give it more gas, it eventually shifts and you fly away. Anyone who has had similar problems or knows how to...

    Hi, i've come across a E87 thats been sitting for 2 years because of a electrical issue. The battery is being drained when put in, and the iDrive display/headunit isn't working (Correlation?) The mileage is approximately 180.000 km. I've read that the altornator could've gone bad, and draws...

    Hi everyone, new here. Was just getting my 120i ready to sell (having just upgraded to a 130i, don't worry) and just because.. I start getting loads of white smoke on acceleration or blipping the throttle after a short idle. No smoke at all once you get away from idle, or when driving either...
