Any member out there be able to me with this one? I have recently become the owner of a 2006, 1 series 118 d M sport. The car is fitted with non run flat tyres (which I am pretty happy about). There are 205/50/R17 93 W tyres on the front, and 225/45/R17 92 W tyres on the back. I was wondering if this was correct? My local BMW service department stated it was but I'm not convinced.

I think that if I changed to 50 profiles on the rear, it may improve the ride quality a tad, which I feel slightly harsh at the rear at present. Also can anyone confirm if the rim size's are different as standard on the car? Is that the reason for the 205's front and 225's rear?

Finally, What are the correct tyre pressures? The tyres I have don't seem to correspond with the tyres listed on BMW'S label inside the drivers door, not the 92 W/93 W bits anyway!

Sorry for so many questions, but looking forward to any advice, thanks.

IMHO Run flats are more trouble than they're worth, cost wise.

As for tyre pressures on 50 profile - 32 to 40 lbs is fine, just keep them equal.

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Morning ! firstly, check the battery. amazing what a dead cell or discharging battery will do. the fact that they sometimes go away while driving could be that the battery gets enough charge from the alternator that journey, but loses charge next time you fire it up.

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Our BMW 220d xtrail 2014 is lighting up like a Christmas tree on every journey with various faults pinging on screen. We have been to the local garage numerous times but there are no faults. Sometimes the faults disappear during the journey on their own or vanish when you turn the engine off then on again. Same 3 faults each time as well. Before we take it into a dealership we thought it would be useful to ask if anyone else has had similar problems & what it was. On screen it comes up with the following faults:- 1) Front end collision warning restricted 2) Parking brake only partially working 3) Driving stabilisation fault Fingers crossed.
