Hi All

Went to a dealer last week with the intention of buying a Focus ST...

Ended up walking out with a 57 plate 330i SE with a genuine 45k on the clock...

Absolutely over the moon with it...

Any tips on keeping her fresh much appreciated

Welcome to the Forum Luke

Don't stick to the extended service regime change oil and filter at more regular intervals (5k for me) Also get yourself a BMW specific code reader they are a great help even if you are using a garage to do the work. Google BMW Specialists (there is a register) and find one near you, normally about half the price of a dealer but with the same knowledge and specialist tools.

Last but not least a couple of websites www.realoem.com this is a BMW online parts list put the last 7 digits of your vin in the search box and it will bring up your model, then www.newtis.info this is a technical site BMW dealers use the same information.

ENJOY your new car

Hi Luke....welcome to the Forum

I would completely agree with Dave and over service the car with regards to fluids and filters and it also gives you a chance to look for potential issues and if anything is degrading between inspections.
It used to be common practice to carry out weekly inspections on cars which ensured the car stayed in tip top condition at all times.....seems like most people don't even check from year to year nowadays 😞

Good to have you onboard

      ZF8HP service

      Good morning all, So, having had my car for a little over 6 months I decided to give the transmission an overdue service. Parts obtained from Autodoc for £205 for ZF service kit, a fill plug & mechatronic sleeve (Just in case) Job wasn't that bad to do. I even found the source of an intermittant rattle from un undershield. Once done I cleared the adaptions & drove up the road, instantly the shifts were noticeably smoother, not that they were too bad before, just slightly less refined. ZF recommend it to be done at 60K I believe, my car has covered 79K miles. I might do just a fluid flush at 100K miles, we'll see...

      2008 530d e61 M sport manual gearbox

      Morning Andrew This is a new one for me as well. I can onlt think something under the gearstick is either not plugged back in or loose Dave

      2008 530d e61 M sport manual gearbox

      I have recently had a new clutch fitted and notice that it has stopped displaying on the dash which gear I'm in, or should I say when I should be changing up or down the gearbox. It doesn't bother me greatly but it was working prior to having the new clutch fitted. I have searched the handbook but so far I can't find any reference to this. Can anybody throw any light on this? regards Paneuro.

      Burst tyre and alloy damage

      It certainly made a bang, it was no more than 30mph and was over so quickly hard to know exactly what happened. I think the front nearside went up and straight over the kerb then I corrected steering and and the back may have hit the kerb obliquely? It was also on a busy road so I had to get car clear as carefully as I could so couldn't stop. I'm so gutted about it and just hope there are no other problems but it is being fixed by BMW dealer so they should be doing it right.

      Burst tyre and alloy damage

      Hi David As it was a rear wheel/tyre then it could well be a drive shaft It must have been a heck of a whack to do all that damage be like a new car when it comes back Dave
