I just got home from Eurofest and am happy to report that 50 BMW 8 series cars turned out for the "8@20" celebration at the Zentrum! Thanks...
Hydraulically actuated valve lifters (I'm still not using the correct terminology - sorry).
I've not used run-flats at the track, so I can only offer my theories: there's nothing inherently wrong with run-flat tires that prevents high...
The only weakness likely to pop up is the infamous problem with high oil temps ... if the oil gets hot enough the engine will convert to "limp home...
There will be several 8 series owners attending the EURO Auto Festival in Greenville SC (at the BMW Zentrum) October 16, 17, and 18, 2009. The...
You need to decide if you want the commitment of owning a low volume model that is 15 years old and has over 100,000 miles. This is not an...
Hi Gimme, There are several variations on the 8 series remote "key fobs". I can't identify what you have from those part numbers, so I'll just...
The original high pressur e fuel pumps had a weakness. It is one reason that I waited until the 2008 model year to get this car. I am satisfied...

If you listen VERY closely you will hear that it is whispering to you in German ... Mine usually says, "You were too wide on that last apex,...
Hi bwillia, I can't give you a definitive answer, just a couple of concerns: If the actual total wheel+tire diameter is the same, you should be...
I have to put in a grateful mention of Gault AutoSport BMW in Endicott, NY. This dealership has made a special effort for the E31 (8 series) owners...
I was surprised to discover that the seat belt nazi chime WILL eventually stop - but it takes a looooong time ... you will probably lose your sanity...
kris: There is no remote "all up" function on the E90/92 3 series. MW
I believe you must pull back on the turn signal stalk (like flashing the high beam) to activate the "path light" feature. The headlights should come...
This is the second thread I have seen concerning this behavior in the (non-Logic 7) radio in the E90 series cars. There may indeed be a "peculiar...
I also recall reading that only one side is open at cold start. They both open when engine warms up. I agree your situation is probably normal.
sorry to be so long to reply - had a different car today On my 2008 335xi coupe, the headrest does not go down flush to the seat back. I count 5...
I could be wrong, but I think this is just part of the passive safety system - the headrests move forward slightly in an impact to reduce neck...
