Am i making a mistake

Evening all,

I recently bought a 2026 BMW 330i xDrive and have buyers remorse. I should’ve pulled trig on a BMW M3 Competition xDrive instead.

BMW FS told me i can turn in my lease and get the M3 without paying anything out of pocket for my 330i.

My question for y’all is will I regret this? Financially i will be stretched but just have to cut back on some other spending to make it work.

Thanks all for your support and guidance as i make this huge leap into my DREAM car

I’m finding all kind of excuses to take the car out 😂

70 miles in…can’t wait to break it in and start driving it in roads. The handling is crazy on this car.

Used BMW 2017 740i xDrive

I have a budget of $10k cash for a car. Recently my G30 530i was totaled and still not fixed so lookin for a cash car I can buy in the meantime I was scrolling on FB market and saw this clean 2017 740i xDrive 170k miles for sale for $11.1k.

2 owners I’ll be the 3rd. 1st owner was an old guy who leased it from BMW until the 4 year lease was up. It was maintained and serviced at BMW throughout the years of the lease. Once it was up the owner which I’m buying the car from brought it out right and kept it in the garage and barely drove it.

Items that were replaced were
• All 4 air suspension
• All coolant hoses and housings,
• shocks
• Brakes , rotors , tires,
• oil change 1000 miles ago
• Suspension components also were replaced he noted that when the car was on the lift getting inspected The front cv axles, the boots are starting to show some wear All joints and bushings were in good shape rear axles were good
• transmission drain and fill done at 90k
He suggested i can probably get away with driving it for at least 10-15k miles without having to do anything.

All the failure components that usually fail at this mileage were all replaced that is why I’m strongly leaning towards purchasing this vehicle. I already have a BMW so I know what to expect and I know how to maintain and what to do to service as long as I’m going to school to become a mechanic for BMW so I’ll mostly be doing a lot of maintenance myself.

Good deal or no ?

2017 N55 BMW M2 Cluster

Hey guys, first post here.

I have a 2017 BMW M2. I absolutely love the car. The only cosmetic change I want to make is to the gauge cluster currently it is the older orange backlit Dayalal and I love the 2018 upgraded LCI.

I haven’t seen anybody do a video or review of a clean swap that doesn’t screw something up.

Does anyone have any legitimate feedback on how this process would work?

M6 e64 issues

Hello, problems with my E64 M6

So, I have an M6 convertible, I have had it for a few years now and it’s runs great… until one day I’m doing about 100 on the freeway, the check engine light comes on, so I pull over and turn off the car… and from that point, it’s never come back on… and the one thing I noticed is this, the SMG pump doesn’t come on when I open the door or press the unlock button like it normally does… anyone have an idea what it could be???

A lot of people charging high heavens to enable and code CarPlay to BMWs these days. Looking on eBay and other sites charging upwards of £300. I have zero experience on coding to be honest. But come across a website with full support and a VIN checker to see ifs it’s compatible. I came across this site 2 weeks ago, I’ve already coded my 2018 F20 1 series with entrynav2 unit and today done my mates 2019 M4 with NBT unit. I use a 15 year old laptop with windows 11 and a cheap energy cable from Amazon. It takes less than 10 minutes. If you want to upgrade your media experience check on the below link. This is not a sales tactics simply sick of seeing people ripping of others.

E36 Scroll Cine es una experiencia web cinematográfica fan-made sobre el BMW 318is Coupé Pack M (E36): siete escenas verticales, scroll bloqueado, vídeo, HUD, datos técnicos reales y una portada pensada para entrar en el coche antes de empezar.

He creado E36 Scroll Cine, una experiencia web cinematográfica fan-made sobre el BMW 318is Coupé Pack M (E36).

Web: https://e36.vercel.app/
GitHub: https://github.com/ikerperez12/e36

La idea no era hacer una landing normal, sino algo que se sintiera más como una pieza visual vertical. Empiezas en una pantalla de entrada con vídeo y después avanzas por siete escenas usando scroll, teclado o gestos en móvil.

Cada escena está centrada en una parte del coche:

  • la generación E36
  • Hellrot 314
  • Pack M / M-Technic
  • interior
  • motor M44B19
  • carácter de conducción
  • cierre con el capó abierto

He intentado que el contenido hable del coche de verdad, no de frases genéricas. La ficha y el HUD incluyen datos del 318is: M44B19, 1.895 cc, 16 válvulas DOHC, Bosch Motronic M5.2, admisión DISA, Getrag 250G, reparto 50/50, suspensión Pack M, etc.

En la parte técnica, la web es bastante simple:

  • HTML/CSS/JavaScript sin framework
  • deploy en Vercel
  • navegación por scroll, teclado y swipe
  • posters para evitar pantallas negras en vídeo
  • service worker
  • tests con Playwright + axe
  • auditoría para no subir rutas locales, secretos ni carpetas privadas
  • media fuera del repo público

No es una web oficial de BMW. Es una fanpage y un experimento web alrededor de un coche que me gusta mucho.

Me encantaría recibir feedback:

¿La experiencia se siente bien en móvil? Y si conocéis bien el E36/318is, ¿qué dato añadiríais o corregiríais?

My 25 M4 gave low coolant message today. It was right, the reservoir was empty. Is it usual for coolant to disappear? Doesn't seem to work that way on other cars I've owned.
