  • E63 630i bj. 2008 or E63 650i bj. 2006 with SMG

    Hi guys, I’d like to get a 6er and found two interesting vehicles, but the decision is not easy for me. However, I have to consider the 650i a bit, because so many warn of the known problems with the valve shaft seals and the water pipe. In addition, there is the opinion about SMG, which should also be problematic. The 630i is the facelift model with 272 HP, which should have some problems with the injectors. I ch knows that these topics have been addressed many times in other threads, but I would like to hear your opinion in the direct comparison of the two above mentioned models. Perhaps one of you has had experience with both models. I personally tend to V8, because it is a V8 mega power and sound. But I am afraid because of the possible costs that might come on one regarding repair, since after the purchase for such things would be for the first time max. 1.500 euros left. Ps. rides a lot short distance and In addition, I would like to know how it is with a child seat in the back, because of my 2 year old daughter, because I also want to take longer family trips with the vehicle.

  • BMW 645ci Gearbox problems (automatics)

    Hello, I have the following problem with my BMW 645ci year 2004 with 95000 km. In the KALTEN condition especially now in the winter the transmission switches at constant speed, so at 80 up and down as it likes and often (not always) after about 3 min. the message Dynamic Drive fails. When I then drive the car warm and restart everything has disappeared. The transmission switches gently and the message is also gone. Has since already had experience or has an Ahn I’m asking for help.

  • From current Volvo XC90 D5 to 7 G11?

    Good evening dear community, I (29 years old, married and 2 children) currently drive the Volvo XC90 D5 and play with the idea to lease a 7er as a business vehicle from summer 2019. I would like to hear from you what you think of this decision and possibly know where to get good conditions as an individual entrepreneur. You can also send me the salesman or the contact person of BMW dealers by PM. My last BMW was E61 530dT and thus had almost only problems h As an engine, however, my head 750d says reason that the 730d is completely sufficient. How are your opinions about it? Up to now I have tried the 740d for a short time and was not bad in itself.

  • Two questions about the 640d: xDrive useful? AHK/bicycle carrier possible or not?

    Hello BMW-640 experts. I put my two questions together, hope that’s OK… At the beginning of next year I want to buy the BMW 640d Coupe, but I’m not sure if it’s going to be with xDrive or not. Since I often go skiing in the Alps in winter, that would certainly be a clear YES for xDrive. However, I usually travel on highways, federal and main roads, which are mostly well cleared. Asking at various BMW dealers goes totally apart, the One me nt in winter xDrive is almost indispensable, the other means “you absolutely don’t need” … depending on which 640 they just have in the assortment and want to get rid of… (so anyway my impression) How are your practical experiences? Are there clear criteria for a decision pro/contra xDrive? Test drives, especially in snow and icy conditions are planned for this winter. However, I would already be interested in “real” practical experiences with/without xDrive in advance. The second question g I don’t want to pull a trailer, but I can transport at least 2 bicycles. AHK would be the first choice because I already have a Thule carrier for AHK assembly. But I’m also satisfied with a BMW own carrier system… there are only two trekking wheels to fit on it. Therefore specifically asked: Can you build an AHK on a 640d (afterward)? Bzw. Are there bicycle carrier systems from BMW accessories that fit to a 640D (xDrive)? Thank you very much in advance!

  • Tyres disassembled

    Hello, I can’t think of a suitable title, because I’ve never seen anything like it and I can’t explain how it happens. Both tyres on my rear axle (the other one still “heal” starts with it at least…) have this “wear image” Can anyone explain to me what happened here? Luckily I wasn’t far from home and could call my wife and then drive home with a winter bike, actually I wanted to change oil and drive the engine a little bit warm. . I had heard a strange noise which I couldn’t explain at first, shortly afterwards (3-4km) it vibrated and then nothing went on! Tires completely flat and the way that looks would have flown 2sec later from the rim! Luckily I didn’t have a >200 on it!!! Now I know that the noise was the wire that scratched along the featherbone… Can’t be that the tire on the rim slipped and disassembled!? Is of course only on the inside , so where you can’t see it when the wheels are mounted. I hope you can see it, wires from the tire look out and the tire is completely melted at the rim support, or eaten up… I don’t know what to call it?! Ride an E64 650i from 2008, now with winter tires!

  • Desperate search -> ORIGINAL STANDARD BMW 6 Series Coupe E63 unbasked + 1st hand

    Hello dear colleagues, for a long time I have been looking for a beautiful, unbasked and from reputable German pre-owned tram coupe BMW E63 as an eight-cylinder. It should come from 1st hand or max. 2nd hand and be absolutely unbasked and in an original condition. If it is possible all invoices are present and simply look very nice. It should be a 645i or 650i in the color black metallic if possible. All other colors would not be in question. What do you think of this one here? https://suchen.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?categories=SportsCar&colors=BLACK&fuels=PETROL&id=281295217&makeModelVariant1.makeId=3500&makeModelVariant1.modelId=g23&maxPowerAsArray=KW&minFirstRegistrationDate=2003-01-01&minPowerAsArray=KW&pageNumber=3&scopeId=C&sfmr=false&sortOption.sortBy=searchNetGrossPrice&sortOption.sortOrder=ASCENDING Would I like to be happy about a regular participation!! Thank you! And I hope the dream vo m E63 in beautiful black will soon be fulfilled 🙂

  • 750i (2009) Purchase advice

    Good day dear people, I would like to put myself o.g car and tried in advance to find out if there are any common diseases that might deter me from buying, could not find anything accurate so far, except that there is a “fred” in another forum where several users of engines had reported problems. Accordingly I wanted to ask you : are there such “diseases” due to material errors where the customer has to grip deep into the bag ? e.g.: (Mercedes and their v6/v8 m273 with the sprocket) I thank you in advance and wish you a beautiful day

  • Greetings

    Dear Forists, after many great Mercedes years, I have now bought my first BMW: a 650i xDrive (F13) from 05/2016 with a mileage of only 13’466 km, which I have been driving for 3 days. Since the V8 death uses everywhere and vehemently, I had to expand my hunt for a dinosaur in so far foreign territories. The car is anyway a smooth guy and does a lot of fun. I am not yet able to make a differentiated evaluation, since I am in the middle of the he adapts to the BMW operating concept. Cheers, DrHephaistos

  • Lowering and widening of lanes

    Hello everybody, can you give me recommendations for lowering and spreading tracks? I have the jewel relatively new and would like to have it a bit more sporty My F13 has the 02VH Integral active steering, do I have to pay attention to something? Would you rather tend to Eibach or H&R? Some feathers make in the front lower than in the back. I like this optically, does this affect when driving? How much would you spread per axle? Can I then later still 21er or wider 20er Fe You know a suitable “Einbauer” around Frankfurt – the friendly one would like to have about 55 AW… I would like to have everything incl. ABE, so that I don’t have to register anything. Thanks + many greetings from Frankfurt
