Hi Colin....welcome to the Club From 2004 onwards it states that the blanking plugs are 32mm Here's a link to a company that sells them: https://www.pmwltd.co.uk/collections/vendors?q=BMW+Parts Let us know how you get on with it all. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Trigger...welcome to the Club Rolling back is an issue as far as I am concern, especially with a stop/start equipped vehicle or with an electric handbrake. It depends on how many revs on tickover as to whether the transmission is loaded enough to stop the creeping, otherwise it may just need a software update to change the settings. Let us know how you get on with this issue. Cheers, Trevor

Plenty of work to keep you busy today then! Let us know how it all goes

Hi Graham.....welcome to the Forums You have a Karmann Ghia? what a superb car! There's plenty of choice out there and for the money I would certainly consider a later car with higher miles as Bimmers tend to go on forever once they achieve the higher miles...generally all the issues have been resolved over the years, as long as it has been maintained correctly. Depends also whether you want Petrol or Diesel and that depends on your regular journeys as I'm sure you want a bigger car (e.g. tourer/estate) and this usually comes with a bigger engine so I would bear this in mind when looking for your new family car. Let us know how you get on with choosing a Bimmer. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Adam....welcome to the Forum Sounds like you have a bit of a project to contend with....Dave (GreyDog) is the expert on X5's so I'm sure he can guide you in the right direction. But throw a few problems out there and we may know some of the answers Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Thanks Paul....that is an awesome description and a fantastic bit of information that will definitely help others to determine the correct installation. I will move this to the Guides section as well as leave a copy here

thinking that it may be an ice warning as had similar on my car and couldn't work out what it was until I looked at the temperature, other car actually displays it (alfa romeo) like it's protesting that its cold 🙂

nice selection of headlamps here, although I couldn't say if they produce a better or worse light https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=bmw+1+series+headlamps&_sacat=0
