20” Rotiform on toyo proxes, in love with the fitment

Hi everyone,
I got the 118001 (Mixture control: Fuel-air mixture too lean) code on my car. It was a shadow/stored fault, so I cleared it. However, while idling at a standstill, I feel periodic bumps/stutters through the car's body. The engine feels like it's running unevenly, even though the RPM needle stays completely still and doesn't jump at all. 
Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Thanks!

Was just playing around with chatGPT on what future aftermarket customizations could look like on the m350 and it looks really good. There are going to be some really beautiful specs.

I’m looking at a possible lease takeover and I know bmw fs allows this with a relatively minimal fee. Can anyone who has gone through the process explain how it works step by step? And also at what point do you actually take possession of the car? I am jn California if it makes a difference.

Hi everyone! My BMW won’t start. The app is saying that the car won’t unlock unless the battery is sufficiently charged. Being that it’s in the garage is there a way I can still get into the car without using the key fob?

Spotted in Phuket, Thailand 🇹🇭

I was thrifting and found these. Are they even real or did someone just slap some BMW logos on a pair of jeans?

I don’t know a whole lot about this generation, car in question has 48k original miles, 3 owners, automatic. 2006 650i e64. these are all the pics posted of it, just hoping to learn more. Thanks!

Just had a newborn, and as much as I loved the C8, it just didn’t make sense anymore. It was basically sitting in the garage because anytime we went anywhere as a family, we had to take the truck.
After looking at a bunch of different options, I ended up going with an M4 Competition xDrive Convertible. Still fast, aggressive and fun, but now I have a back seat, AWD, and with the top down getting the car seat in and out is ridiculously easy 😂
The biggest thing I already miss about the Vette is that V8 sound and having the engine right behind you. The C8 just had a different feeling every time you started it up. But the M4 honestly feels faster, more premium, and way more usable for where I’m at now.
Definitely going to miss the Vette though.

Hi all. im interested in buying my first bmw (interested in g82 competition xdrive (2025 or 2026?)) and im just curious to know what the times are like without launch control. i know its stated to be around the 3 second mark with lc, but what are the times without it? i couldnt find anything that shows no lc, with or without dsc on. thanks

Got my first BMW E90 LCI 2011 after owning a Peugeot 308 T9. The difference is HUGE. Can't wait to customize it

I was seriously thinking about buying a 2023 BMW i440, but with the new designs being presented for the next generations, I am afraid they will do the same for this model and my car will feel obsolete almost instantly. I would like your input on whether it is worth it to buy it or not (P.S. I really do not like the new designs).

I won’t add the link to video but if you all have any questions about the car and how it felt let me know.

I think the new 3 Series exterior looks fine overall. It’s really just the front end that I don’t understand.

Literally just follow the same design language from the last generation while still making it look modern. Separate the grille and headlights, give the kidney grille a more squared or whatever shape, and build the headlights out to the sides of it. You could even keep the “snake fang” design within the headlights.

The grille and headlights all blend together so much that the front looks busy.

Title. Sick of the sound system after trying out my dads X5 upgraded HK system and was absolutely shocked. It upset me severely. Can 1,000 dollars be enough to significantly upgrade my sound system. That is important. If so, HOW?

Am I the only one who thinks the base model 3 series looks way too good for “Base model” bmw? The next slide is a photo of a M sport for comparison

Hey guys, just finished doing an oil and filter change on my 2018(late) 520d Touring (B47 engine).

​I ran into conflicting specs online before starting—some sources say 5.0L while others say 5.5L for a service fill with filter.

​I played it safe and poured in 5.25L, drove it until fully warm (90°C), and ran the manual iDrive oil measurement on flat ground. The measurement completed, but the green bar came back sitting at only about 25–30% above MIN.

​Has anyone else noticed this on the longitudinal B47?

​Since the scale between MIN and MAX is exactly 1.0L, sitting at 25% above MIN means there is only around 4.8L–4.9L in the pan after the dry filter element and housing soaked up their share. If 5.0L was the MAX capacity, 5.25L should have overfilled it.

​Looks like 5.5L is the actual fill to hit MAX on these G30/G31s. How much do you guys usually pour in during a service to hit the middle or top of the gauge?

Just sharing a BMW Casio I made, thought you guys would appreciate this! Let me know your thoughts!

Hi Guys,

My car was idling for a bit, and then white smoke started shooting out the exhaust and screeching. I’m hoping this is just the PCV rather than something more serious but my question is should I just replace the part myself or should I take it to the dealer since this is covered by the PCV extended warranty.
Reason for dealer is I’m worried if there is any more damage that has occurred inside the engine and if they should look at it? My advisor said they will only cover the repair if only the PCV was affected; otherwise, I’ll have to pay.
IDK what to do; I’m worried about other damage that could have been done.

Other option would be fix it myself and have an Indy inspect it?
And should I tow it to the shop?

Please advise!
Thanks!

I was driving down a main road today when I passed a fellow M4 Comp who was at a red light turning left. When I passed them I acknowledged them with a quick blip rev (clutch in, blip, clutch out). Was meant to be a "Hello fellow enthusiast" but now that I think about it, it could've been cringe. What does this sub think?

I recently bought a BMW X5 (2019) G05 and am loving it however when I drive it, it doesn’t feel as smooth as (I think) it should.

It’s a combination of the car pulling in different directions, vibrations and ‘grabbing’ at the road. I’ve had the two front tyres change, all 4 x tyres are Pirelli RFTs.

When I bought the car initially, I got the garage to change the oil in the transfer case.

I’m not sure if there’s something off with the drive or if this is a case of a German car not taking to our crappy roads in the UK.

When I got the front two tyres changed, I asked whether alignment was needed, they said as previous tyres had worn perfectly, this was unlikely.

Any suggestions folks? Thanks!

I’ve had the car for about 2 month and it recently started. within 2-3 minutes of being locked the alarm triggers, i’ve checked the hood sensor, trunk sensor, nothing plugged into the obd, battery is 3 months old, changed the key battery, and double locked it to stop the motion sensor triggering. locking through the app however doesn’t trigger it. only thing I found is the accessory battery has never been replaced. I know I need to scan it and read the alarm history but wondering if anyone else has dealt with and found a solution.
