Re: G31 B5 Touring

The deal possibly fell through and the owner decided to either sell to or ask the dealer to sell it for him?

F11 rear strut: rubber gaitor

Hi, the rubber gaitor protecting the top of the rear shock absorber has perished. Does anyone know the part number please (it maybe the same as a 535 gaitor) and if this cover can be replaced without undoing the suspension? I’ve looked in the online catalogue within the forum but it doesn’t seem to ...

Re: Alpine d4 for sale

The torque on the diesel engine is amazing, even the larger D5 car will average 40mpg and you can push that up to 45/47 if you really want to. Not a lot will keep up with it either.
Whilst I love the C63, I would find the low mpg an issue.
Good luck

Re: D11 brake shudder

That’s great. I did think possibly of refacing the discs but unsure if anyone’s still doing this

Re: D11 brake shudder

Hi Howard, My F11 D5 has a bit of front brake judder sometimes. I do lots of motorway miles so don’t brake hard very often. I have checked the discs with a dial gauge and they are definitely not warped. I can get rid of the judder with a couple of hard stops. It is probably a build up of glaze on t...

My D5 does this exact same thing and has done since the day I bought it, Everything has been checked when in for a service or MOT by the independent BMW garage that I’ve used for 15 years.

No fault found every time.
that’s why I’m a bit wary of replacing the discs, so thanks

D11 brake shudder

I’d appreciate some advice please: there’s a small judder from the front of my F11 when braking under certain conditions. It’s been apparent since I bought the car, improved with new front pads last year, but now deteriorated. The Front discs look okay but I’m slightly wary of replacing them if the ...
