Has any of you heard rumors about what BMW plans to do with the Alpina brand from 2025/26, which will then be theirs? According to my dealer, BMW has not yet communicated anything about this. He suspects that BMW will install the M-drives in a slightly more elegant car series with a more subtle look. That was just a guess, but a suggestive one, as I think. What do you know or think? For which series will BMW use the Alpina brand? As before from the 3 Series upwards or rather analog to Mercedes-Maybach? Or at the end even as with Audi-Horch only as a variant of equipment for China only?

Hello, I know before now Shitstorm comes or other things…… The last post has been a long time since 2018 and we have already 2025 …… I’m looking like the name says a good Flasher that has access to both the new cars and old cars. It’s not meant to be a commercial one, it’s not called a thousand Euro Flasher, but for the time and again if you want to code/change something. The Flasher should be able to handle all the brands as well as old/new cars and give full access. It can also be a Kess V2 clone, I had heard that the one from Russia should be the best. Now I ask people who know a little bit about it here as well. My goal is to read out the engine control unit to make e.g. games such as AGR OFF , Drall flaps OFF and tell the engine control unit. To put on a Stage 1 , optimize fuel consumption etc. The best is a Flasher for BMW/FORD/Audi/ Mercedes. I would be grateful for every help.

Hello dear ones, I am looking for a nice birthday present for my husband. He loves his BMW collection. In addition, we have just moved. Do you have an idea what to give her?

Hello dear people from the forum, would be very nice if someone could tell me if one could sell a BMW as “with M-package”, even if the M-package was only retrofitted and not completely? My father bought a BMW 540i. Now we noticed that the M-package was only retrofitted because the blue or red M-brakes are missing. But in the advertisement was M-package. Can you do that as a salesman? Does anyone have experience with it? Greeting Paul

Hello, I’m looking for a reliable car and I’m currently swinging between a BMW E82 Coupé (1er) and a BMW F22 Coupé (2er) – both absolutely as a gasoline engine and automatic. I like these two models the most. I would use the car mainly for the work path (short distance, approx. 5 km daily), then on weekends more often for highway rides (50-100 km) and occasionally in the city. It is important to me that the engine is reliable. I also attach great importance to a good equipment – I would spend a maximum of €20,000 for it. Do you have experience with these models, especially in terms of reliability, engine, maintenance costs, short distance compatibility? Which variant would you recommend me? —> 125i? 135i? 228i? 230i Thank you in advance for your opinions and tips!

Greeting Akworus

Hello, I have saved a long time to buy a m. Now is the time and I would realize my dream. I will test both cars if the weather is better and probably then decide, but wanted to look around before what you see for advantages or disadvantages of the cars. Maybe someone has also driven both cars already? Actually my decision had already been made for the m2, because was only questionable whether N55 or s55. But I have seen that the weight has not changed, I am now undecided. Thanks for your opinions.

Good day, and this is the following I have a BMW 530i F10 and have changed an injector there, however, I only fell on later that I have an index 06 injector installed and the others are Insex 09. Is that harmful in any way? LG

Moin, I am currently not sure how to proceed. I had an appointment with the dealer at the end of October to switch to the stored winter bikes. It was noticed that there was a nail in one of the tires. I was informed and a new tire was ordered. Since the tire was younger than two years, the BMW tyre insurance should cover 75% of the costs. Now I have been waiting for the tire for which, according to BMW, there is still no delivery date. However, the tire (Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+. 245/45 R 18 100 H) is easily available at reifen.com. On demand, however, no costs are then covered by the insurance. Now we had the first snowfall and I can’t use my car. Is there anything I can do?
