BMW and M Power Owners

[Dr House]

I think I will pull the trigger on a 6 GC next week. Are the comfort seats worth holding our for? I found one with a black interior with comfort seats but I really wanted a light interior

I want to do the speakers on my Z4 but the choices for 4" components that fit aren't extensive.

Luckily mine has the full 17??? Speaker pro setup, does sound quite good, one less mod to consider.
Picked the 2010 sales book and price list up off eBay, nice to see all the spec, options and cost.

I wonder if anyone with more knowledge can answer a question for me?

Was there ever a BMW with a naturally aspirated 3.0 litre engine paired with an 8 speed automatic gearbox?

 

[[TW]Fox]

Yes.

2010-2012 F10 523i and 528i and 2012-2013 F10 530i.

They are exceptionally rare - particularly the 530i (Only two for sale atm):

The 523i is somewhat unloved and can be very cheap:

Loving that someone is selling a 523i as a 530i there!

Boggo spec nav on that 523i

I didn't link to that car? I linked to a 530i and a 523i, both advertised as such?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

I’ve driven the NA 530i not that great TBH the engine has most of its power/torque higher up the revs. Even when rev’d out didn’t feel particularly quick. The 2.0T has a better power band but lacks the smoothness of the 6 cylinders.

Exactly my thoughts after driving them all and why I ended up in another 530d.

Top link - back to search results. Never said you indicated someone was just that someone is.

Evening all

I need two new rear tyres on my 2015 F10 530D... currently got Goodyear Excellence runflats all round..

Should I just get the same again or is there a better option for ~200 a tyre ? Happy to stay with runflats.

Thanks

 

[tamzzy]

£200/tyre budget? Does that not just scream ps4s?

If you want to stick with runflats, IMO the best available RFT for this car is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3. They perform and last well and are much better than the Excellence. They are BMW Star Marked in this size.

Not available as a runflat and not available for the front tyre size either, so you can never fit 4S all round on an F10 on 19's.

Op said he was happy to move away from runflats
Oh wait misread...lol

so you can never fit 4S all round on an F10 on 19's

Oh that sucks... :/
