See if the indicators workHi all,
Really considering buying a 318/320D F series BMW, is there anything to look out for? Do I hold out for a Msport or is there much of a difference? any comments/criticisms on the Model are welcome.
thanks very much
I've a manual F31, box is nice with a reasonably short throw.Really like the idea of a manual though ,wont be buying a low mile example so don't want any issues with the auto box
Mines manual as well and I find it quite clunky, so I went and bought an auto one lolI've a manual F31, box is nice with a reasonably short throw.
As long as you keep the auto box serviced you shouldn’t have any bother with itAuto would be nice If I was getting a fresh example , examples I'm looking at will be 60k-80k miles
Happened to a guy at work. Car is off the road all summer because he can’t find a replacementI'd steer clear of an x-drive as the transfer box cases can fail in dramatic style.
Nothing much apart from the usual timing chain issues of the N47, make sure it’s changed if the car has high miles and the idrive can get very trippy when it needs an update, it’ll keep resetting itself but the update sorts that.
Had mine for over 3 years now and collecting my second one next week, only bother I had in 3 years was the idrive needing the update, apart from that it’s been mechanically sound.
The SE/Sport are perfectly good cars and great value for money but my preference is the M Sport models as they look nicer and you get a decent amount of kit as standard, like your heated leather, nav etc.
It's not. Part is £20 from BMW and a guy on eBay sells the tool needed for £20. Few hours and your fixed.Check the steering rack doesn't knock because sweet baby jesus in bethlehem that shat is spensive :/
The updated version from BMW? Don't know of anyone who's had a issue since fitting it.But it is not fixed fella. You only get so much adjustment out of that and then it starts to bind. Its not a fix really.
The rack is flawed is the problem.
