Hi All, New member and new owner as such.

Started with a 10 plate 116 D sport and now changed for a 14 plate 116 ED. Wasn't given a test drive of the 116 Ed as it was stuck on the display stand and supposedly the car behind had a flat battery and couldn't be moved at time of request. A BMW dealership. Was given a test drive in what I was told was the ED Media version. Now this felt nice and steady on the road, suspension firm ish through all 3 modes, no rolling same as my sport.

The ED I have feels like it's rolling, more so at the front especially in comfort mode. No play or vibrations felt in the steering wheel but at times feels like the front wheels have got a wobble best described as felt through the floor. I did take it on a 110 mile drive and after about 15 mile the suspension felt as tho it had firmed up and remained like that for the rest of the trip and same pattern on the way back. No warning lights are showing anything is wrong. Its been out on two test drives and I've been told its as it should be. All ok. Certainly dosn't feel like it. At times it feels as tho the front suspension is over soft.

She's running on Michelin energy savers 205-55- 16. Does anybody have any suggestions?

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave
