Greetings People from the North West.

Am a new member to the Forum so. going to the horses mouth for advice.

I am on the market for a BMW 530D Touring somewhere between 2002 and 2004, am not over fussed on the newer bodystyle.

Apart from the obvious points to look out for on 2nd hand cars, can anybody enlighten me on the faults on this particular model, if any ? and any idea of the urban diesel comsumption.

At the moment my 2.5 Tdi Rangey is taking approx £160 a month in fuel. Any advice and comments would be appreciated.

Cheers for now.

Rob ( The Sheriff ).

      Copy Ignition Key?

      Hi Stu, sorry I missed you reply, thanks for that. Seems I have an odd problem. The key reader can't read the existing key. Even though it works fine. Nevertheless, I got a copy made and sure enough, it doesn't work! Is it possible to disable the immobiliser?

      2008 530d e61 M sport manual gearbox

      Hi Dave, I thought you would dive into that one. I have found a reference to it in the book and it would appear its connected via the computer on the I drive but so far I have not been able to give it the kiss off life. i can follow the instructions so far and then nothing. I will keep trying and if your interested the first reference is on page 85 of my handbook . thanks Paneuro.

      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

      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.
