BMW and M Power Owners

But you also end up with having to use the screen for heating controls. And you can no longer quickly adjust the distance to the car in front on the adaptive cruise, among other things.
These things aren't upgrades are they?

I dont actually find the screen terrible for adjusting the heating (I don't adjust it that often and it's on screen all the time, I'd say it's just as easy as it was on the M340i, possibly easier), I did prefer having buttons for the heated seats although I think there are more settings now. The adaptive cruise on mine is all controlled on the steering wheel including the distance (unless something has changed very recently?).

Thanks @Maccy @Bluecube and @mjt .

I’m pretty much settled, m340i it is! I would just never stop thinking about it if I went for a 330, 320, etc.

I know I want the tech pack and comfort pack, anything else to be considered?

 

[Bluecube]

My own car is pretty basic with what seems like to be naff all packs. One thing it does have is a HUD which I now couldn’t do without.

 

[iMacMart]

Has anyone been bombarded with Mydieselclaim.com information? I put some of my 5 series details into check website last year and seem to be getting reminders to complete my claim, seems like it’s a scam now?

Long time lurker, finally decided to join

Well after 3 years of ownership i sold my F87 m2 competition for a G87 m2. In some ways i miss how raw the old car was, but in my opinion the the G87 is a far better road car. (Don't hate me )

I also wanted the visibility pack, the headlights are much better and the front of the car looks much better with the upgraded headlights.

Tech Plus pack for Driving Assistant Professional. Rare, though.

Well, the deed is done. Ordered an i5 M60 Touring in M Carbon Black with Ultimate pack and tow bar (for the mountain bikes!). Just waiting for a delivery date. Finally joining the BMW clan!

 

[MrMcG]

I do truly miss this,

If the guy ever puts it up for sale I will make sure I am the one who purchases it back. It was flawless for me and the noise could make a bad day GREAT!

What about for him though?

Still making the glorious V10 N/A noise as far as I am aware

My F11 has a very slow oil leak and I can't get it into the garage until next week. I'm looking at buying a small carton to keep it topped up as I have to drive the car to work. It's an N47 engine. Would Shell Helix Ultra Professional AM-L 5W30 be a good choice?

It's not leaking enough to need topping up but I'd rather have some in the car to be safe for the sake of a few quid.

The V10 is the best sounding engine IMO. Beats V8s and even V12s.

At a recent track day with supercars at Croft, without doubt the best sounding cars around the track were the v10 engined ones. Miles better than the Lambo v12s and Ferraris v12s and v8s and the Mclaren V8s.

Meets BMW LL04 spec so should be fine

Anyone know if I should expect split rear propshaft rubber coupling (£910) to be covered by the comprehensive insured warranty??
I think yes as wear and tear is included and this doesn't seem to be an exclusion but would be great to get opinions before I talk to the service dept about it tomorrow. Thanks!

I would absolutely expect it to be, especially as you have the Comprehensive cover.

 

[EvilRob]

Thanks!

Any thoughts on how bad this is? They are about 4.5mm across the tyre except the inside edge on both front tyres where worn to the cords. Not sure how this could happen but pretty damn annoying since they have plenty of life on them apart from this.

They absolutely need replaced. It might be an idea to get an alignment done afterwards too.

Will get the alignment done for sure. Quite frustrating, car has only done about 4.5k miles since MOT and tread depths have barely changed.

 

[Will Gill]

Yep that's quite lethal, as already mentioned get your alignment sorted.

Having seen that I'm going to check mine, the potholes round here are bound to have adjusted mine too!
