Hello Everyone,

I have finally gotten my hands onto my BMW! I managed to get myself a 2011 BMW 3 Series, 2.0D, MSPORT 5 Door,

I have gotten a question or two?

(1) I've searched google and think that my model is a E92, I really want to replace the angel light bulb with a brighter white one? do i have to replace the entire unit? or is it just a plug and play bulb adjustment i have searched through the form alot.. and every thread i find it's always one of two ways? either underneath the wheel arch or open the bonnet and go through the top. now obviously not knowing what model i have is causing a problem! any help would be greatly appreciated!

(2) While looking for new angel bulbs (lights) I've come accross a few that say they will not fit the xenon model headlamps? as far as im aware looking at my headlights these are NOT xenon? am  i correct in thinking this.

 

Thankss!

Hi James...welcome to the Forum

Great looking car...which does appear to be an E92 by all accounts.

The headlamps you have look to be standard Halogen bulbs as cannot see a ballast pack at the rear of the headlamps.

Let us know how you progress with upgrading the headlamps.

Cheers   Trevor

Hello James, nice looking 3 series! I wouldn't mind getting one of them as a daily to replace my current run about.

I also would just like to inform. Your 3 series is actually an E90, not an E92. The E92 is the 2 door/coupe variant. The 5 door/saloon variant you have is the E90. I just thought I'd say :) I think it's an easy mix up. I didn't know the difference before.

      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

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

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
