Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

The BMW X5, a pinnacle of luxury and performance in the SUV segment, offers a driving experience that combines speed, power and style. It boasts a top speed of 155 mph and achieves 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds. Like any vehicle, the X5 may face some common issues, with drivers reporting noisy suspension and leaking EGR coolers. The X5's rivals include the Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover Sport, and although it isn't the best car for serious off-roading, it's a formidable machine for everyday use.

The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is also called the timing belt. Often, drivers book a cambelt and water pump change together to save time and money.

Three common signs your cambelt needs replacing are a squealing noise when you start the engine, problems getting your car to start, and a glazed or glossy look to the belt. Although a snapped cambelt is uncommon, tension issues are not. A loose cambelt will whip around the engine, causing knock-on effects, while a tight belt usually causes a whining sound and puts pressure on the bearings of the cogs it is fitted to.

Whether you went to book a regular timing belt replacement or a mobile timing belt replacement, you're in the right place.
