I’ve had the car for 3 weeks. The check engine has come on 3 times and had turned itself off within 30 mins. when I scan the car it’s these codes, but these same codes appear when I scan the car even with the cel off. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade the suspension on my 2014 BMW F30 328i RWD, and I’m currently deciding between the Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit and the KW V1.

My goal is a more precise, direct and confidence-inspiring driving experience, with significantly less body roll in corners and during lane changes. I’m also looking for a moderate drop (around 20–30 mm) to improve the overall stance, while keeping the car practical for daily driving.

The reason I’m unsure is that I’ve received completely contradictory advice from different workshops. One highly recommended the Bilstein B12 and said it’s an excellent setup. Another told me to avoid it and recommended the KW V1 because, in their experience, it doesn’t drive well and tends to wear out relatively quickly.

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually owned either setup for a while.
How has the reliability been?
How does the car feel on the road?
If you had to choose again, would you buy the same suspension?

Thanks in advance.

recently changed my OFH on my 2016 340i with 97k miles and I noticed the filter had some metal, I installed a new filter drove it about 250 miles and noticed this on the new filter ? the metal itself is magnetic so is my motor eating itself ?

I just picked up an 2016 328i xdrive. I wanna get xhp however the car is at 120k kms and before I get xhp I wanna get a transmission fluid change. The checked with the previous owner and they did not get that done but other than that the car was well maintained. I have just heard that changing it when the kms are too high is bad for the transmission since ZF recommends every 80k kms

Do I need to replace this screw on the coolant overflow reservoir? No leaks seem to be coming from any hoses or connections, just the overflow reservoir itself. Is this common? Replace whole reservoir or just the screw?

Hi there! Just bought my first bmw ever. It’s a f30 340ix 2018 with 100k km. The problem is it has a front end collision. I need help getting the correct parts and I’m going to do the most of the repairs myself. I am having trouble figuring out what I need besides a radiator, hoses and I believe a heat exchanger. Any help will be appreciated :)

I thought it was a bad bearing in my hpfp so I replaced that and it didn’t help, the noise came after I replaced my manifold at least that’s what I believe couldn’t hear much bc I had waste gate rattle😂

First bmw so I will be asking a lot of questions in this sub (Thank you in advance)

All cosmetic and performance mod suggestions welcome. First thing on the list is the timing chain of course.

Also, any suggestions for Apple CarPlay options and sticky door handle fixes (I bought carbon fiber covers but the one on the passenger side is a little lose?)

Anyways, I’m hype to be in the Beamer community!
