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 ! -

X1 2024 Recall pillar problem
I thought I was alone on this one. Bought our new X1 at the end of October 2024 and received the B Pillar safety recall letter in mid February. My X1 has been with my BMW dealer since 19th Feb and is awaiting the results of the metal analysis. Dealer has been poor at keeping me informed, I have had to call them and request updates that have been few and far between. When I did get to speak to a service manager, they told me that if the metal analysis comes back as suspect, they will need to replace the B Pillar safety bar on one or both sides of the car. This could take approximately 15 hours for each side!! This sounds to me like major structural work and has me questioning the safety of the new vehicle I was sold. I believe that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we have the right to reject goods that are not of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose or as described. I am hoping that this is one of these situations and if they need to replace the B Pillar safety bars then we can request a new replacement vehicle.
