Just bought a one-year old W205 C200 estate. It comes with a pump and a tube of gunk and Yokohamas of two different sizes. Last week while parking I hit a hidden curbstone which had been pushed a long way out of alignment by tree roots. Ripped a big hole in a front tyre. Gunk was going to be no...

Thinking, idly, about my next ride. Does anyone know where on the wonderful wobbly web prospective BMW owners go to for considered advice and mickey taking like one finds on here?

The new puppy is a bit incontinent. In fact he's generally sick on even quite short trips. I'm expecting that this will improve over time as it did with his dad. However the puppy's diarrhoea is a bit troublesome. Several times a year we take the dog to the south of France and we plan to...

Flicking through the settings in my new S211 E220 I couldn't find the one where you check the oil level. So I was reduced to R[ing]TFM and discovered that I'll need to use something called a dipstick to check the oil. Wot's that all about then? My previous C220 had this and I had thought...

Just picked up my new E220 today. I had the iPod interface installed to connect to the standard Audio 20. The manual implies that I can access info and control the iPod using the centre display for the Audio 20 but all I get is the same as in my previous 06 C class - nothing in the centre...

Out yesterday looking to replace the 06 C220 Estate. Test drove a 6 month old Jag X type diesel. Good price and well-spec'ed but... it was small inside and when we got back to the dealer there was a strange oily smell from the front. Then went to MB Milton Keynes. Her indoors had been...

The C Class is over 3 years old and 75k miles so I'm considering trading it in for a nearly new 58 or 09 E220 estate. As far as I understand things from searching threads on this forum, if I buy a car with Comand even if I then add the pukka MB iPod interface I still won't be able to read...

C class is over three years old with 75k miles. I've lost a lot of money on it already but that's what happens when you buy new so its not a surprise. Kinda reached another decision point now - do I keep it forever and run it into the ground, or do I swap it now before the mileage hits the...

Went in to ask about laser eye surgery a couple of weeks ago. Turns out that my prescription is too high. I'm longsighted - +5 & +5.5. The recommended option is to have the lenses in my eyes taken out and replaced with plastic ones. Eek. Its just normal cateract surgery apparently -...

So... there I was happily trundling along towards my next Service A when the message "Service B 1300 miles" appeared in the instrument cluster. Is this normal? The car is a 2006 C220 CDI estate. It had a Service A at 17000 and a B at 36000. It's now sitting at 58500 which admittedly is quite a...

Yesterday [Saturday] afternoon on the Pezenas by-pass [the unfashionable side of Southern France], I was overtaken by a stream of new cars. Mercs in the majority - an R class, the new small 4x4 [GLK ?], one or two others and, bringing up the rear, two white S classes one debadged and the other...
