Hello Bimmer community! Our family's 6 Series GT will be arriving soon (I'll surely try to get professional photos of it and post them in this community when I get the chance 😉).

It'll be the first time any of us will have ever sat in a BMW or Mercedes (we did own and drive an Audi A4 though), and this one will be the 640i variant with what's panning out to be quite an acclaimed engine+transmission combination.

It'll have perforated nappa leather in 'Mocca' colour.

Getting to the point, we were curious as to whether there are after market 'cuddle-pillows', the ones that wrap onto the headrests, that provide similar comfort and look to the OEM ones, but don't cost $300+, the way the OEM ones do, which we believe is too expensive for that kind of item. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the production costs of making those things are $20 or something.

On a less desired but still wanted addition to the car, we are also wondering what quality rear-seat entertainment TV-units there are available out there. We have a few headphones in our possession, so the entertainment unit doesn't need to come with headphones itself.

Thank you for the read. I'll be looking into all comments.

New to the EV club, but have had BMW’s for years. There is for sure a learning curve with this one. I like it so far. Your thoughts?

Located in Texas - Any recommendations on where to look for OEM wheels that BMW never brought to the US? Particularly interested in style 26's.

Im looking for a carbon fiber piece to cover this chrome piece on my bmw 540i non m base sedan

Hey guys quick question I see this keychain on a lot of early 2000s bmws anyone know where they’re from?

Hi I’m buying a 330i with a lm500 turbo. I heard the there can be coolant issues with the B48 engine. I can’t seem to find the aluminum replacement part for the oil filter housing. Does it exist for 2020+? Any other parts I should buy to be safe when running the car?

I am looking to purchase a BMW 335D but I am running into a bit of an issue.

I'm not very experienced with diesel cars and I'm interested in deleting the SCR, EGR and DPF.

I've been looking for shops that do this kind of thing in my area, no shops specify doing any kind of emissions deletes, can anyone explain the process of finding a shop/deleting emissions?

If anyone knows a shop in south florida/florida in general I would very much appreciate the help.

My Pirelli run flat tire saved my ass after going over two potholes on the 152 West 14 miles out from Casa de Fruta (CdF) in Holister, CA. I was able to drive with zero air pressure to CdF and got it towed to American Tire Depot. Get warrantys y'all. I only paid approximately $102 for a new run flat.

So as the title says its a 2015 but it has electrical issues i have a reliable car but i wouldn’t mind a second car to just mess around with is this a bad idea to buy or should i pull the trigger

Greetings everyone! I'm an engineering student currently working on a manufacturing system simulation assignment. I need some concrete data that I wasn't able to find online, so I thought this was the next best place to ask. If you were to get a G30, which colour would you pick? Thank you all! Ps. If anyone could point me to any sources regarding the approximate cost of manufacturing of the standalone G30 chassis (before it's painted or fitted with any parts at all) I would really appreciate it. I've been trying to find an estimate for weeks, to no avail.

I recently traded in my ‘17 X1 for this X3 and WOW. Here are a few initial thoughts/questions after 3 weeks:

1. IMO, the 21” (718m) wheels make the car much more attractive and the ride hasn’t been too firm at all. I know this is in comparison to my ‘17 X1, but I think the looks are definitely worth whatever added stiffness there may be. The X3 has the M Adaptive Suspension for what it’s worth. 
2. Speaking of the 21” wheels, it came on Winter RFT and I want to change them out for All Seasons. The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S Grand Touring tires are the only ones I can find. Has anyone used these on an M40i? Is it sacrilegious to put Grand Touring tires on it?  
3. Is there a better blend of sportiness + practicality on the market?! It also has a 5* safety rating which was a high priority for my wife and I as we have a little one on the way. 
4. Are there any issues I should look out for? Any maintenance advice? I see the manual recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 1 year. Should I stick to that or do it more frequently?

Apologies for being long-winded, but this car has been everything I could ask for so far. Cheers!

I've been using Driver Assistance Professional (radar cruise, keep lane center) recently and think it works pretty well, but I know this technology is new and imperfect. I'm curious if anyone here has run into a situation that caused Driver Assistance Pro to lose some trust?

It's really hard to find info out there that rags on BMW's driver assistance system, but I'm sure some have had less than ideal experiences and I'd love to hear some real world stories.

I’m heavily considering getting the new M5 and need some input as this is a very controversial car.

I would be swapping it from my Model S Plaid which size and weight is pretty comparable actually (m5 a bit heavier)

I got a ride in one today and actually liked the whole experience. For reference, I also tried a m4comp and didn’t like it as much.

I originally did want a smaller car though but this ends up being slightly larger.

Also worried about depreciation etc down the line.

I’m looking to upgrade my spark plugs and get a new intake. I’m thinking injen short ram cold air intake but I don’t know where to start on spark plugs? Lmk fellas🙏🏼

How would you guys make this sexier. Need help.

Hello beatiful people of Reddit 👋

I am writing this post because I need advice. I cant decide which option makes more sense. I am deciding between buying two cars:

1. 420d xDrive F36 M sport

• 💰19000 USD
• B47 140kw
• 2017
• 108000 miles / 175000 km
• automatic transmission
• one owner
• full service history at official bmw dealership
• no accidents
• reasonably optioned ( HUD, Hifi, Backup camera, … )
• carbon black color
• ⚠️ engine oil changed every 19000 miles / 30000 km
• ⚠️ transmission oil most probably never changed
• ⚠️ no keyless entry, acc
• ⚠️ relatively high mileage ( potential problems ahead )

2. 320d xDrive G20 M sport

• 💰26600 USD
• B47 140kw
• 2019
• 60000 miles / 100000 km
• automatic transmission
• one owner
• full service history at official bmw dealership
• no accidents
• not as well optioned ( standard audio, backup camera, … )
• beatiful color portimao blue
• has 360 parking cameras
• car is still under warranty and has prepaid service inclusive - so the next inspection / service should be free of charge. Service inclusive ends this year.
• ⚠️ no heated seats, no keyless entry no acc
• ⚠️ electrical windows and mirrors doesnt work ( dealer promised that this issue will be sorted out for free )
• ⚠️ the car should have 793m 19 inch wheels, but the owner sold them and is selling the car on 17inch ugly wheels ( i tried to negotiate discount, but with no luck )

I can comfortably pay for either of the cars. But of course by buying the F36 I would save 7000 USD. Which is not small money. I know 108k miles is not a huge number for a diesel bmw, but since the oil has been changed on a 19k miles / 30k km basis I feel like at this point the car can start to breakdown easily.

What do you guys think? Thank you for your insights.

Hello thoughts on pulling the trigger on a 2021 m8 comp gran coupe with around 30k miles for 70k clean title one owner is it worth owning to drive 20-30k miles a year at that point? Or just get a daily and drive this weekends? (Wondering more on maintenance and reliability) I live in the Midwest.

Reading everywhere about this silly trade war that’s going on got me all hopeful. With the US/CAN tariffs happening, Canada should look towards the EU and bring over more wagons. 🤞🤷‍♂️

Is there any love for wagons on here by NA Reddit users?
