At around 30 and at 50 mph when giving the car light load there is an audible whining that is very evident, is this just the sound of the m-diff or does something need replacement?

Hi there,

I am considering buying a 2011-2019 (F20) 116i. I really like how they drive (best automatic gearbox I have experienced in a hatchback) but I don’t know anyone else who has owned one. I have read a few long term reviews online and they seem generally positive, but I’m wondering of anyone else can let me know about the long-term ownership experience?

Thank you!

What’s up guys hope you guys are having a great weekend! I have a few questions about a muffler delete? How is the drone? Also is there anyway to keep a valved system or possibly reduce the drone from a muffler delete maybe a silencer. I’m not trynna go all out at the end of the day it’s a lease. I’m not worried about warranty due to my service center being lenient on modifications.

Is the Carly coder capable of tuning / increasing performance in anyway?

So, I have a 2002 325i and Im getting a p0011 code. I've been trying to diagnose the issue, and doing research to make sure I don't dive into something I dont need to actually touch. Every source I look into tells me conflicting information, such as it being REALLY hard for you to skip a tooth and throw this code, and those who say theyve experienced the adverse. I also would like to know HOW this code could be VANOS related, and whether this code can be caused other things aside from timing problems. If I could get a list of things to check in order, that'd be a great help😁

My car symptoms while the car is running: - good acceleration until 5th gear, where it just lingers at the same rpm, but doesn't gain speed. - slight stutter when applying gas while idling with a cold engine (may be sparky related, as they were oil fouled from the leaking valve cover)
