Whenever I hit an unavoidable pothole, I hear and feel a loud clunk from the trunk area. Can be either right or left rear depending upon what wheel hits. Not sure if it's suspension related. This is happening when the top is up. So it's not the convertible top hardware. Could it be rear...

One of the areas of water egress into trunk is a torn weather seal. Once torn it loses it's compression strength and allows water entry past the seal. Unfortunately it's very expensive to replace. I believe around $250+. Here is a low cost quick fix that has lasted me more than 7 months. It...

Previous owner installed a K&N air filter. When I opened the air box there was 2 filters. A K&N on the front half of the air box and a thin Mann filter on the opposite side of the air box. I had to pry the Mann filter out. Seemed like it was glued or snapped in place. Was this supposed...

Lets cut to the chase... I purchased a used trunk weatherstrip for my 2011 E89 that's in excellent condition. Problem? It still contains the original BMW sealant, which is still very sticky. It's going to be almost impossible to remove this stuff. Much easier to just add some of the same...

Heard a lot of sloshing today and obviously it was water in the front left rocker. So I pried on the rear jack point and drained the water. Question is how does the water get in there? How can I prevent it from happening again.
