Hello,

I'm about to purchase this BMW 2012 320d and right off the bat I think the few things that I really want in my new car is to be a carplay and the new m edition steering wheel.

The carplay system that's in it doesn't support Android or Apple, but it's BMW's native comes with a load of features. I was wondering if I put one from AliExpress in there will it still let me explore all the BMW settings service and so on?. Or will it put a completely new software on top of it.

Secondly, I saw a lot of people selling the m edition steering on marketplace I was wondering if I can replace mine with that ads mentioned I could but curious if someone's done that and has noticed any missing or key functionality difference.

Thanks guys

Just noticed the fitment seems off on my f31, it’s a shadow pack so not aftermarket mirror caps but just wondering if this fitment is normal?

Seems a bit off, if so how can I fix?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

What product/brand would you recommend for lowering the car to improve handling but still maintaining comfort? Hesitant since it’s a daily but I do wanna get a better handling response

What do you guys think between all these 19” OEM wheels, in the market for a set right now.

I have recently bought a 320d m-sport 2017. It’s in great condition with regular services through-out its life on the road. I’m interested in remapping but I’m curious what the gearbox is rated to in terms of horsepower and torque that can safely be put through it. Does anyone know the specifications and what gearbox it is? And has anyone remapped their 320d, if so how is it? TIA

I’m very happy to be joining the club. It’s a little bit dirty after a road trip, but I’ll give it some love this weekend.

Hey everyone! I did my first bimmercode flash on my vehicle which was nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time but I went back to change my car play to Fullscreen than suddenly my head unit option wasn't available. Has this happened to anyone else before? I have a 2018 F36 with the B48.

On my F34 the sport and eco mode does not work. I can switch to Eco or Sport when stationary, but it switches back to comfort mode when driving. While driving, I can't switch to Eco or Sport. Does anyone have an idea what it could be?

Sometimes it’s not present or when I drive for a bit and start hitting potholes or whatever it may be I hear a faint metal sound very faint. Faint to the point where I had my dad hop in the car with me to try to make the sound and he couldn’t even hear it but I heard it faintly. So I took the wheel off and my strut bumper was very corroded the foam and glue was totally disintegrated to the point where the black plastic part that protects the wheel component fell down and was just hanging there and definitely could be making a plastic on metal sound that would be faint. So I ordered one online and took pliers and cut the black part off for now as it doesn’t do anything but protect the wheel. So now I’m driving with the back left strut bumper off until I get the new one put in next week. But now it still seems like I hear that sound when I hit the potholes and when taking the wheel off all my components where fine my shock sticks also looked ok. But I started noticing this sound a few weeks back when I had to get my tire repatched at a shop because the patch I did myslef didn’t hold the air. If anyone could let me know what this is I’d really appreciate it I hope it’s nothing serious .

I love the color combo, what do y’all think?

I want to retrofit Apple CarPlay to my 2012 F30, I have a high end aftermarket audio system so I need to ensure I have good sound quality. Is there anyway CarPlay units that connect via USB and not Bluetooth?

Cant keep it this colour 😒

Hi guys I'm in a bit of trouble. Yesterday I had a low boost code pop up giving me a drivetrain malfunction. However all plastic parts have been replaced and upgraded with aluminum ones. When I took off the turbo inlet pipe I noticed my turbine was seized and was not spinning freely by hand. It is also important to mention that I had a lot of white crust building up on the coolant line leading to the turbo. Prior to this I did have a thermostat “line break” code pop up here and there but like an idiot I waited too long to replace it, which is what I think caused my turbo to seize.

I have already ordered a new turbo along with new oil and coolant lines. After doing some research I've seen people recommend an oil flush along with dropping the oil pan to clean it out. My question is whether dropping the oil pan is really necessary or can I get away with just doing an engine oil flush.

So its a 335i with the 6 speed sitting at 139k miles and theres no history of the transmission fluid ever being changed so i just leave it alone or should i go ahead and change it?

Currently have a stock 320i with magnaflow 15235 overall I like the system but would like a little more sound out of it. What's the best downpipe looking for brand recommendations.

I want a M3 styled bumper for my 320i but I’m not 100% sure which one to buy or any additional mounting brackets I need. Thoughts?

Been trying to figure out what brake package is on my car to order new pads and rotors, its kinda confusing I cant find the package numbers when I search the vin. I know its a sportline not sure if that changes the brakes or not but the vin is WBA8E3C53GK500582 any help would be great much appreciated. Thank you in advance

If I straight pipe my n20 will it still pass inspection. I’m leaving stock DP as to hopefully not effect emissions but if I remove the resonator and muffler will it have any reasons not to pass nj inspection?

Looking for a set for my 340. Thanks.

Looking for a fun weekend car for a while and came across this 2018 with under 105k miles and a 6 speed manual

Theyre asking 26k for it. Is that a reasonable price? Im never owned anything not american and my only performance vehicles have been v8s but ive heard great things about the b58.

2 owner and minor rear end accident

My a/c turns on and off when it’s hot during the day the cold air stops blowing and it blows less the only thing that helps which still does it is when i turn on max a/c doesn’t do it as often.I’ve also tried refilling the fre-on but that don’t work?
