Had first trip out in the car yesterday, around 85 mile all round trip to the safari park at knowsley. roads roughly half motorway half A roads plus twice round the park. came back at an average 54 mpg. much better than the 25 mpg in my 1.8 vectra petrol.

Off to clean the monkey sh*t off it now :D

welcome to the class of BMW....once you start driving , you hate arriving at where your going and sometimes just drive past it just for a longer drive ( not that i have done this once or 7 times)

      Appears no fire

      Morning Larry Welcome to the Forum Sorry I can't hear the recording However your 539i runs with iBus so tracing faults with a BMW friendly diagnostic program (preferably INPA or BMW 1.4.0) so first step get a Diagnostic done. Checks to do first would be. Compression Check, Fuel Pressure at the injector rail. Fuel Pump relay, Vanos sensor and obviously is there a spark at the plugs. If you have compression fuel and spark it should at least try to start even if the Vanos timing is out Is the MAF plugged in and OK Good Luck Dave

      Appears no fire

      I have a 2002 BMW 530I. My wife was driving one night and a water hose busted it ran hot for a short time. The car was in worse condition than it appeared at the time of purchase. But she got water back in it plus oil. Well it still would crank. I got it towed to my house. My first thought was the head gasket, but the oil was clear. So I noticed the head cover gasket busted so I replaced. I also replaced the plugs and coil ok. I’ve checked the fuel filter and the intake gasket among other things inside and out. I’m stumped I’m hoping someone can help with ideas or the answer to it. Listen to the sound and see if something comes to mind.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13BYZ1qjO4VuNf7T0iou5AWnqJ70k0wxi

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      From what I have been able to learn, seems like it was only vehicles manufactured between 17th Sept 2024 and 21st Oct 2024 that may have been affected. Our car entered the manufacturing process on 20th Sept, so I am worried that it will be one with the B-Pillar made from incorrect materials.

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      Exactly what happened to me, except I bought our X1 end of Nov 24, got recall letter 10 Feb, same thing had to keep contacting dealer no help, finally said they had sent samples to BMW Munich , had to threaten legal action, suddenly got call saying our X1 was cleared and come and collect it. Dealer had the car for 5 weeks ! Have asked for some financial compensation, they actually suggested it, no word yet !
