Lo folks.

Just joined the forum as I'm hoping to pick your brains so, although not entirely here as an owner, I'm in the market so to speak.

There are probably several posts regarding my question but not really having navigated my way around just yet, I'm taking the easy, or lazy, option.

I'm going to view a 328se 1996 later on in the week and was wondering if someone could point me out the things to beware of. I'm fairly aware of body issues, the drive and interior side of things, it's the unseeables that will catch me out.

If any of you good people have any tips for me I would be most grateful.

Look forward to joining in with you all properly in the future.

Ray.

Welcome Ray, As said above check for full service history, condition of the car, does the wear and tear match the age of the car, engine bay, check fluids and oil, if the car looks in good condition with FSH, depending on the price then the car will probably be good and reliable, god luck. :D

Raymond?????? NOOOOOO, sounds like my mum telling me off.

Thanks all, hoping to looksee tomorrow with a view to buying. I've never had an auto, need one now due to an achilles rupture, so i thought I'd go for a proper auto and get a 328i se.

Looking forward to time spend cudding the chew.

Welcome Ray, only been here 1 day myself just got a 320i SE, I had been looking at a few 5's myself, found a few 520s in the £900 region on Trader... must admit the 528i auto is rather heavy on the juice but if an auto is required due to injury not much you can do.....

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      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
