Hello,

...just joined the forum and wanted to say hello!

In May/June this year bought my lovely E39 V8 from Regional Chairman of "The BMW Car Club of Great Britain": George Champ (East Anglia). Remarkable condition; only £150 worth on MOT work + 3 tyres. Drivers door mirror needs sorting and an Air Con re-gas (no cold air!). Small suspension knocking noise somewhere (?) that has nothing to do with MOT pass. Few scratches and 3 minute dings. Alloys on the verge of a refurb in the future too.

Incidentally, the advertisement stated:

"Here we have something a little bit special and different. BMW 535i, M/Sport 3.5 V8. The car is believed to be 1 of only 22 in Imola red in the UK. Being the M/Sport model it comes with M kick plates, Steering wheel, Suspension and side rubbing strips. It also benefits from some AC Schnitzer goodies, Type 3 split rims, roof spoiler, tear drop mirrors and side decals. These are believed to have been dealer fitted from new."

To date I have not been able to valid this claim, so if anyone can shed any light on this rumour (or who/where this started?) I would appreciate your reply/input.

John Herman sold this vehicle on behalf of George. Last known registered keeper: David Alan Tulloch. Any previous keeper history greatly appreciated e.g. names/addresses. If you are one of them - reading this now (?) I'd love to hear from you. Cheers! :)

Welcome to the club Paul. Car looks great and I must admit I have never seen one in that colour. A rare find.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
