A conversation between AndyMcq and myself recently made me think....

We both owned french poo Meganes before the Beemers, and spent tones keeping them on the road due to bad engineering.

I decided to buy a BMW for the simple reason, reliability.

Now don't get me wrong, my BMW has over 113k on the clock and still feels brand new.

But now I have spent way over 1K on making her look better.

New paint, refurbed wheels ect.

Just wondering, how much have you spent on your Beemer, when you didn't honestly have to?

My 7 series cost me my Mitsi Pajero 2.5 tdi (paid nearly 3k in 2006!), and since New Years Eve I have put almost 300 quid in petrol in her... I only work 5 mile away :angry:

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…
