And their customer service sucks to be honest. I asked one and the same question and got 3 different answers. Can’t believe this.

Good Morning All, I bought a F30 BMW320D 2016 the mileage is 59000km. As per the service history everything all consumables has been changed on regular basis. Once already the break liquid has been changed. My question is when do I need to change the cooling liquid, the oil of the gear box, the oil of the differential etc etc. I would appreciate your thoughts and assistance please. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, Trust my message will finds you well today. As previously mentioned bought used BMW 2016 320D F30 Japanese import. I noticed that the Angel’s Eyes are not on and the blinkers not working while activating arming / disarming the alarm (1 and 2 blinks) For that reason I bought a Bluetooth Device VeePeak BLE+ and BimmerCode App. I successfully activated the Angel’s Eyes but can’t sort out the Blinker’s issue. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help where I can find the options to activate them. Thank You in advance everyone. PS. If the topic isn’t in the right place please the Admins and Moderators to move it to the right spot. Much appreciated.

Thank You @Spudooli much appreciated mate. I was about to blame the dealership that they sold me a broken vehicle. Interesting though once I start the AirCon and speed it up while working normally in a few minutes later seems to open a different flap inside and then the flow increases. Is this normal what do you think?

Hi @godmars_snakly311, My humble 50 cents. Fuchs and / or Liqui Moly TEC - both are recommended for High Performance Cars and BMW. I run mine F30 2016 320D with Fuchs that’s my preferred choice. Every 10K km. I change the oil and the filter. https://www.fuchs.com/au/en/ https://v1vehicleparts.co.nz/search?q=NOT tag:__gift AND Liqui*&type=product

Hello Everyone, Trust my message will finds you well today. Recently I bought second hand BMW in good shape for 5 years old vehicle. I noticed that the display is showing differently the arrows for the Air Flow to the 2 only for the Rider and 3 full set for the Driver. Is this normal - or I need to pay a visit to Authorised BMW service for assistance and assessment please? Thank You in advance for your understanding and answers. Stay safe and sound everyone.

Very well said 3pedals! I concur 100%! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Brent for the proposal. I will use as a last resort this option. For now I will try to sort out my own wheel. If not I will consider buying new one. Thank you so much for the idea Muzz. I will think about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hallo, I would like to ask you where in Auckland I can upgrade my steering wheel and to make him thicker please? I would like to be made with "Napa" leather with red stitches if it's possible. Thank you in advance! Have a great evening all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes Jonesey LPG. Let's keep the Unique Environment of New Zealand Clean and Mother Nature Protected! In Europe this is very common. Coop, the SUV I will utilize as a only one and main family multipurpose vehicle urban/highway driving.

Hey SpikeyLemon! Exactly! Thank you very much indeed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Afternoon Dear, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to ask you kindly to express your opinions/experience regarding LPG conversion of the above mentioned type of engine. I am along this question as I did not found such a discussion in this Forum. Do you know where in Auckland can be done such a conversion and what brand of can be use in this case. Thank you in advance for your competent answers! Best regards: Yulian. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much Westy! You are so kind Gentleman, I appreciate that really! Step by step I start to see the horizon a bit closer! Thank you! Have a great evening, good and safe night!

Gentlemen, did anyone know where in Auckland I can buy this Red Line Oil and what's the price looks like? Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like Kepes you are right! This is very good oil for high performance engines and I keep in mind this and I will find out where to buy this in Auckland. Maybe a dealer or shop not quiet sure. Thank you Kepes! Edit: http://www.bntnz.co.nz/

Thank You Jonoe30! Well I just missed one X5 2008 on 33872km in immaculate condition for just 36980$. I am agreed with you regarding all what you are saying and I will do purchase definitely "Premium Warranty" with any SUV what I will purchase. I was thinking about 7' •GARMIN• as well like an option and it will work at least as a last resort. Just trying to get the best I can if deserve it. Btw of those 3 brands •GARMIN• •TOMTOM• •NAVMAN• which one is the best regards price and effectiveness? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Mr. Westy! However I know the level of my English knowledge is not that much fluent but at least I try my best to express myself clear, understandable, kindly, politely and diplomatically correct! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Morning Jonoe30! Well, regarding my previous post - actually I am looking for •BMW• x5 Model 2007/2009 4,8i, in excellent condition, low kms on Odo and very low maximum price for it up to 35000$. . If not, the alternative is not •BMW• It should be very probably •Volkswagen TIGUAN 2,0TFSI• -2011-2012 or •Ford KUGA 2,5T• 2012-2013 up to 30000$. Those are the optionally chosen SUV, unfortunately as •BMW• with those specifications are too expensive for my budget at this moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, Kepes! I will have a look at this brand. And I will be back again. I believe it's better than "Mobil 1".

Michael! I read several times my post very carefully and honestly I don't found nothing wrong with the way how my post was written and posted! Nothing abusive, nothing stupid, nothing wrong! My apologies, could you please explain what is weird and why I should be a bot/spammer/scammer whatever? The question is as much simplified as possible and as much kind as possible regarding the best choice of synthetic advanced formula oil! Just asking if somebody know what is really the best and outstanding quality engine oil, in New Zealand as I am just arrived in this country and I am not familiar with the market which obviously is not like the European one from where I am coming from? Please explain and clarify what do you mean against my post! I don't see nothing wrong to be kind and polite! Thank you and I hope there it will be more open minded people in this forum thinking out of the box! Have a great day!

Good Evening Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am about to buy an SUV. I would like to upgrade the existing unit with this one "Alpine X008AU 8 inch navigation head unit". The price is pretty high 2800$, and before I do something wrong/right I would like to have your opinions regarding the quality and reliability of this product as entertainment and SAT NAV system please! Thank you so much for your assistance and advices in this matter!

I am agreed with you TermiPeteNZ. I have base to compare F25 xDrive 2,0 Diesel BiTurbo 2015 & F16 xDrive 3,0 Diesel BiTurbo. Amazing fuel efficiency: the firsт have 6,8/100km the second one is 8,5/100km combine urban + highways. The kick-down feeling and the torque is amazing as well. The BiTurbo Diesel engines are amazing. F25 with 135kw/465NM and F16 with 190kw/560NM. With both SUV I have about 15000-17000 km on odometers and I even doesn't noticed when I did this honestly. The riding is smooth and as expected on open roads and in urban conditions. Well this is brand new cars and I don't like to think when they become a 10 years old with more than 100000+ km on Odo. For now I feel lucky to have them unfortunately so far from me. Well I must sort it out now my local needs as they are more important at this stage in my life. So you are telling me that the quality of the New Zealand's Diesel isn't that much high and good, correct or I did get your information wrong? If the quality is not ok so there will be definitely a issues and problems for the new 2012-2016 Diesel engines as those common rails engines are very precise and picky once we talk about fuel. In Europe I used only Premium Diesel from "Shell", "OMV", "BP", and "ECO" fuel stations. Otherwise from the •BMW• dealer told me that I can have a trouble if I use low quality Diesel and my engine can break and blackout and they will not recognize my warranty if wrong fuel is detected in my tank respectively engine. So this is what worries me actually. If I need to buy in New Zealand Diesel vehicle should be an old version of Diesel engine let's say around 2005-2009 maximum. But that's mean that car it will be worn out and on high mileage and that mean high maintenance and expenses. So I will prefer then the Petrol cars with better conditions in overall as engines and interior. What do you think guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oops that's mean really I must reconsider and I will miss my brand new F25 and F16 what I have at Bulgaria. I will try to find better solution then. I will be not in a hurry as I am living for now downtown Auckland central 1010 and I am ok at the moment, but once I decide to move out of the central part I must to be ready with solution even before that! That's why I am researching now and look out the market in here and I am finding it very exotic. Especially the second hand vehicles market it's pretty good with so many almost new but old fashioned cars and I love it. In Europe 8-10 years old car under 100000km you can not find. No way! In here I saw a lot beautiful old and outdated lovable cars even around 45-50000km which is amazing. I love that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
