Hi guys ! Long story short I can change my car in 6 months because of the end of my monthly payment for current car. It's Peugeot 208, 2017, 1.2 110hp.

Now I'm looking for something used but I can't decide what should I take.

I'm in love with BMW F10 but I cannot afford it propably.

So I'm searching for - BMW F21, or - Audi A5 8T.

Only automatic gearbox, because it will be my daily driver and it's mostly town trips. I want at least 140 hp now. If we talking about BMW it can be gas or diesel. If Audi - I'd rather take 2.0 TFSI than diesel.

What can go wrong, what I should expect and maybe you can recommend better choices?

I almost forgot. I'm interested only in 5d car. Any coupes 😅

I know it's be group but I don't know better place to ask for honest help and advice.

Just wondering

So after years of saving and dreaming I got my F83 Yas Marina Blue a couple of months ago. Just had a couple of questions to put out to other owners and people generally more knowledgeable than myself.

Really appreciate info on the defect and opinions and recommendations for the potential modifications

Defect

Known issue of water filling quarter panel and flooding amp, car is out of warranty by about three years. I know how to prevent in future with drilling holes or removing clogged filter but has anyone had any luck claiming out of warranty for this issue to get a new amp?

Anyone breaking a car with the right amp please DM me as unlikely BMW will help with the above :(

Should I be concerned about the roof motor as this is in the same general area, any preventative maintenance suggestions?

Anything else like this which other owners know of which I should look out for and can help prevent?

​

The exciting bit (mods)

Looking for recommendations for improving the sound from the exhaust, thinking pops and bangs, deeper, little louder. Looking to spend about £1000 and stay relatively legal and retain a quiet option if possible. This is not essential as don't live near anyone else so no angry neighbors from early cold starts . This is the basic exhaust so not the comp or performance but would consider buying this if people rate this option.

​

Anybody added Carplay aftermarket and got any recommendations?

​

Anything else relatively cheap but fun to do to it without messing with the engine and stressing out those pesky crank hubs

I was happy with the sound system back when it worked so not much interest in improving this H&K sounded awesome.

Already been lowered 30mm and tinted

Bless,

Hey everyone! I picked up a mint condition 328 this summer and I’m eager to make it a bit more my own. It’s staying stored during winters, so my goal is to drop it down a bit and slap on some sexy 19” rims BUT I don’t want to do anything cosmetic until I’ve beefed up under the hood a bit and suspension as well. Air intake and exhaust were my first two thoughts to add a bit more power and sound too. Any suggestions on these? I don’t want to be excessively loud at all. But do love a deeper sound. Clutch is still original and would love any recommendations on that too. It’s my baby and I will eventually suit myself up in an M3 but regardless, this one will stay with me as my first project car to tune up. Thanks for taking the time!

I’ve ordered a 2022 X5 and am curious about people’s experience with the lane keeping assist. I’m currently driving a Hyundai that gently keeps the car in the centre of the lane, what is your experience with bmw lane keeping?

Thank you!
