As the title says really , I'm looking at buying a 5 series but the manuals a pretty rare I've never really thought about buying an automatic are they any good? Any reliability issues?

Cheers lee

Has to be Auto buddy...

With a rare manual the computer can only react on timings, with the Auto it can advise and adapt :)

Big car, stick with the Auto ;)

Dabsy is right in the technical sense, (he always is, or at least, he'll tell you he always is, :) ), but the other aspect is, what do you feel more comfortable driving? I'm an Old Git, and I've driven manual and auto, (My wife has had many Autos' over the years), but I am much happier with manual and manual much better suits my style of driving.

      e63 m6 (2010) competition package grill (right) help

      Hey, I have a 2010 M6 with the 'competition package' optional extra. The front grills are slightly different in that there is a slight bulge to align with the different bonnet. I've circled this image online to indicate where it is. My issue is that I've gotten a sizable stone chip on the right grill and want to replace it. However, the dealer (and consequently BMW through a request) can't get a part number for it. I'm guessing I'm sod out of luck, but wondering if anyone knows how I could find a part number or otherwise locate the grill. I could of course replace it with an aftermarket, but want the original. Advice appreciated.

      218d 2017 ACTIVE TOURER CENTRE REAR TAILGATE BRAKE LIGHT

      Morning Steve I have never worked on a 2 series but would imagine like the X3 and X5 internal trims around the rear window have to come off for access or maybe like the X5 the spoiler top fixings can be accessed from outside I would check www.realoem.com to see how the trim parts are fitted

      Collision Avoidance System

      Morning Paul You have one major answer, your Local Main Dealer is not a good one !! Have you talked to BMW UK Customer services ? Clearly either the Dealer doesn't have a clue or there is an issue they also don't understand ? Worse by telling you a road test would be dangerous are they saying the car is in a dangerous condition ? All questions I would put to BMW UK Good Luck Dave

      218d 2017 ACTIVE TOURER CENTRE REAR TAILGATE BRAKE LIGHT

      Hope you guys can help me with this troublesome query.. how the heck do you get direct access to this light, so you can remove it via it's 3 fixing screws? I've got the replacement light for the existing broken one, but I just don't know and can't find out what to remove to do this? Surely someone out there has done this? I live in hope.
