Hi All,

Since I brought my Bimmer 6 months ago, I thought it was about time that I joined the owners club.

I purchased a mint, silver 330ci M-Sport and, Wow, what a vehicle! Every time I jump into the drivers seat I feel a sense of occassion. It sends tingles up my spine everytime I turn the key, and a smile everytime that awesome power-house of a straight 6 winds up...

Its not been without its downs though, I found that one of the alloys had a split on the inside edge and was leaking air and the crank sensor packed up 2 months after that... otherwise (touch wood) all is back on track.

At some point in the near future the tires on the rear are going to need changing. Can anyone recommend makes/brands which suit these vehicles? I currently have Avon ZZ3's at the moment.

Look forward to chatting to you all.

Doug

Thanks for the Advise BigAl, I think I might do that tbh. The wheels are MV1 18" 255/35 on the rear and 225/40 on the front.

      A paddling pool in the rear of my 08 reg 635d Convertible !!

      Hi Dave. Please excuse the delay in replying to your comment but it would appear that I have been suffering with temporary amnesia - I have been trying to sign-in with an incorrect forum ID. Short answer - No. I no longer have the 635d because I just could not get the drivers seat into a comfortable position because of my rather short stature and shorter than normal torso. The issue was especially a problem in tight traffic situations and with the door mirrors and the 'A' pillars being quite intrusive. It was a very difficult decision but a few close shaves were far to risky with such a high insurance bracket (50 E) and a renewal figure of £785.00+ was what decided it in the end. It turned out that the car had had a remap which clearly accounted for the exceptionally rapid propulsion over and above the manufactures stated 0-62mph. It was returning very respectable fuel figures for such a poky piece of kit. I PX'd it for a 10 plate Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance 170 bhp Blueefficiency Auto with 82,000 recorded miles. It was registered to Mercedes Macclesfield as a demo car and then sold to a local doctor who kept it in pristine condition until it was sold to a local trader.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      Hi Stewart Welcome to the Forum Rather than try an additive which increases viscosity I think I would have changed the Oil Pressure switch first. Then maybe the Pressure relief valve on the oil pump needs invetigating, after all oil is the life blood on your car. Fingers crossed it is a genuine fix for you remember you can use higher viscosity oils 5-40 instead of 5-30 Dave

      Dimming Door mirror lenses

      Good afternoon all, I noticed after a few days that my Nearside door mirror doesn't have the same dimming glass that the Offside mirror has. Perhaps previous owner was given option of Non dimming lens to save a few quid? Reading Online (Mainly otherside of the pond) people have said theirs only has one dimmming glass. Does anyone on here have 2X Dimming door mirrors?

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      That is very interesting. I have not seen or heard of this, maybe it is relatively unknown in the US? Thank you very much for the very good information, JayMe
