I have this issue on my '02. It happened last winter, was fine in the summer and is now happening again. I think it is caused by the nav computer as occasionally, if it takes a really long time for the screen to appear, instead of the BMW logo and the normal screens, I get a bright blue, blocky text...

Been out in our 4.6, Toyo summers on (though the backs are brand new), not had problems yet though watching the guy from Lepsons ripping around in a winters shod Citroen C3 has convinced me for next year!

Booked my 4.6 in with jason today for a little work to hopefully sort out all the little issues I have been having, thought to myself, "That'll get everything sorted, no worries for a bit". Get back to the car park and there is a little puddle of oil under the front left! Gutted isn't enou...

Hi everybody! I'd only recently signed up to the previous site before it disappeared, read some of the posts about what went on and it seems that it was quite a shame, but at least we are all here again now! Just as a reminder, I'm based in Kent and bought a 2002 4.6iS late last year which has prove...
