Hi After looking round for a while I've changed my S211 (Brabus D6, black metallic) for a S212. The '62 plate S212 E350 is quite a "good spec" compared to large number of standard spec ex-Merc cars at the dealers. Metallic black, tinted windows (aka The hearse) 19" AMG alloys Panoramic...

My 1998 540i is due for an MOT this month. If it passes OK I'll keep it for a while, but, if it needs anything expensive doing, it will go the "spares or repairs" route. I quite like the idea of a CLS 500, but my budget will only run to an 05/06. Is this likely to be as good a buy as my...

Hi all. I'm CB. After 11 years of BMW ownership, not to mention ending up as Admin on a couple of UK BMW forums, I'm ready to make the transition to MB ownership. Test driving a C207 (350CDI) next Tuesday. This seems like an excellent and helpful site and, I look forward to interacting with...

Hi all. I currently own a 335i coupe BMW - significantly modified - but am considering replacing it with an E-Class Coupe - probably an E350. One of the principal reasons for thinking about jumping ship from BMW (who I have been with for 11 years and 2 cars) is the state of UK roads, i.e...

I've been enjoying my new- to me anyway, toy in the sunny weather last weekend and earlier on :D.

After 16 years of trouble free motoring in BMW 5 series including an impressively quick E34 540 manual, i have crossed the line after being seduced by a stunning 06 CLS 320cdi with a MB service history and only 26k on the clock and all the toys, all mine for a snip at £12,900. A bargain, or is...

Google and forum search aren't helping me. I dont want to invest too much time in a dud forum so let me know what you recommend.

As some of you may know, I have a 2002 e46 bmw 320d which blew up after 2 days of ownership due to a swirl lflap falling off the intake manifold... I have replaced the engine but now it wont start, it only turns over. Apparently I need to get the injectors from the replacement engine coded to...

I have posted on the BMW forum but I know how resourceful/knowledgeable you guys are on here so here goes... So my 2002 320D ate a swirl flap from the intake manifold, and died on me. I have swapped the engine over with another identical one but I think I have wired up the starter motor...
