Hello Good people. New to the forum but not to BMW's. Should have joined this forum a while back but didnt for whatever reason. Good to be here.

I have a M535i Sport auto (Nov 99) with only 90,000 on it. I'm thinking about changing to an M3 soon. So watch this space when it comes for sale.

Richard.

Thanks for the welcome Andy. I've got some pictures somewhere I'll try to find them. As you say whats 90k. When I was at work we used to run 528's and 530's to 250k with nothing to do to them and then sell them at auction for half of retail and they were worked really hard.

Mines done less than 2k since Nov 2009 and is always garaged. It hasnt really moved since Nov 2010 mostly because of snow. Fortunately I also have a Discovery with a 4 litre V8 BMW engine, so I dont get stuck.

Maybe, but you cant lock the diff. You haven't got low range, offroad there is no comparison,and you cant tow 3.5 tons unless you spend a fortune on an upgrade, however the BM is probably more reliable.(although mine rarely misses a beat)

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?
