Hi all, I have finally bought a BMW 320D! I have been looking for the right one sinse the start of the year, and finally own one. I was after a 320D coupe, but I couldn't find one that I wanted, and I nearly got conned with one that had outstanding finance. Then this beauty popped up on ebay 30 miles away from my home. Its a e90 320d msport [163] , on a 06 plate, 100,000 miles, full bmw service history, 2 owners, full years test, good tyres, and in very good overall condition.

I have already bought some LED rear number plate lights, swirl flap blanking plates, and I am also looking at HID kits, but I do need help with that, there are so many different kits, and all say FAULT FREE, but with the price difference I cant see it. So if anybody can help me with what to buy and what to avoid, that would be great!

I gave the car a 3 hour valet at the weekend, and fully GuardX'd the paintwork and interior (I was a valeter for 5 years), and I found the paintwork is covered in stratches from the car wash and other scratches, so I will be fully flatted and machined it once the hosepipe ban is over. The front bumper has also had a wollop, is abit mishaped and theres loads of stress crack all over it (as shown in the pics), so that will be off to the body shop.

The interior is pretty much unmarked, apart from the pillars, the fabric is really warn on them (as shown in the pics below), so i will try and find some second hand ones from somewhere?

Anyway heres a few piccys.

Beautiful, very nice car mate I'm looking for one of those myself at the moment, probably similar age and mileage too - I had an SRI Vectra 150 previously until it was written off while parked outside my grans house (drunken woman, long story!) and I've been looking for a new car for a while now, checked loads of cars but keep coming back to the 320d it is definitely the one for me, cracking car

      M240i wheel advice

      Hi, just looking for some advice, my 2019 240i has these wheels as standard, they are a bit tarnished and i was considering refurbing them There is a set from a 240 M sport on ebay, they look mint but have black gloss inserts. I don't see them as an option in my brochure, but the sizes look identical. Would these be a good purchase or should I go back to refurb of mine? Thankyou Dave

      Instrument cluster suddenly died

      A few weeks ago my instrument panel on my 2004 e61 stopped working properly, the only thing that worked were the two small screens in the middle so I opened it to check what was wrong and then there was a path in the circuit board that had blown on the way in/out from the processor, so I ordered a new one. It arrived in the post today so I installed The new one and everything worked fine the first drive, but on the second drive it was broken and only the two small screens in the middle worked. Has anyone experienced this before or know what could be the cause? When the car is moving either speed, rpm, fuel efficiency etc does not work and the two small screens are much brighter than they should be

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.
