Copy of email to [email protected] by

Sirs
I am writing to you to explain the reasons behind my bitter disappointment
with BMW.
In April 2001, I purchased an 'Approved' 318i from a dealership near High
Wycombe.
The vehicle was originally manufactured in 1996 and was clearly well cared
for, having a full service history with the...

ABS light is on by
Terry Pinnell[_3_]
I have a 1996 N-reg BMW 328SE Auto. Its ABS light is coming on and staying
on while driving. However, using the CHECK button on the computer panel
displays 'Check Controls OK'.
I haven't been able so far to test it out on a suitable surface, but
should I assume it's broken? If so, is a repair...

Engines by
dizzy
So... are the lovely BMW 6's going to be replaced by turbocharged
4-bangers? I'm sure the bigger/higher-end ones will still have the
turbo 6 or an 8, but the 3-series that most people buy, may be going
to 4. Lighter and more efficient, you know...

Z4 M vs Boxster S vs SLK 55 by
RichAsianKid
Which of the above is the best roadster? What do people think?
Here's a Russian article. Can anyone translate this.
http://bmw.carclub.ru/articles/allarticles/0000004340/
I'm not sure which one I'd choose. I probably lean towards the Z4 M,
but Boxster S has probably better handling. Recently...

What I want vs. what the reality could support by
AD[_2_]
Call me a pervert, but I want a V8, around 2.0 liters, AWD layout with
rearward bias and the seats that have lateral support on one
hand and in which you could move in the other. Lack of static
electricity discharges is a plus. Let's see, 55 profile tires for
summer on R15 or R16 and around 60 on...

Robert A. Cibiras
I am interested in trading my Acura TL, and have
narrowed the most likely possible replacements to
the Lexus is250 and the BMW 325i, both with manual
transmission.
I am interested in whatever input anyone might
have. I have owned a number of Toyotas over the
years, but no Lexus and no BMW.

I don't like electric assist stearing. by
grinder
I have had my Z4 since November and normally drive it on weekends. My
everyday vehicle is a 4Runner.
I can see where if one drove the Z every day one could get used to the
understeer of the electrical assist. But it feels sluggish to me and I
think could contribute to accidents. That almost...

Considering a BMW - A Few Questions by
BRH
After driving Subarus, Toyotas, Hondas and yes - a Chevy, all my life,
I'm finally at the point that I can afford (and want) to step up to a
new "luxury" car. However, I still want to find the best overall deal
(ie - bang for the buck). That's just my nature, I guess.
I'm just getting started...

How good IS BMW's 6 cylinder engine? by
No Name
I'm thinking of buying a 2006 or 2007 3 series. I was wondering what
the consensus is around here about BMW's engines. I had a bad
experience with my current car, an Audi 1.8 turbo, and don't want to go
through that again. I've heard good things about BMW's 6 cylinder
motors. How do you...

2006 325 warranty... what gives? by
Choder
I was thinking of buying one of these things, but I wanted to
investigate the extended warranty since german cars aren't really
known for their reliability. I dont want to own a money pit.
Their website doesn't tell much about the warranty, and asks me to
talk to a dealer regarding coverage...

Hi All,

the first time we have driven this car in the wet.
