Have traded my 5 series (520d) for a new X5 which is on the way to the dealership. Will be there "in a week or so" but the wait is agony!! Didn't intend to buy a new one, but got a great deal on a car spec'd beyond my (limited) dreams. Excited is not the word....

...and so I collected it on Saturday. Really really nice - slightly firmer ride than the old 5 and thirstier, but I will get used to those I hope. Loads of room inside - feels bigger and higher up from inside than the outside suggests (like a tardis) and the panoramic sunroof is awesome. In many ways it's even easier to drive than the 5 - more responsive and the handling is a real surprise - no roll whatsoever.

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Good advice from Greydog, but in the latter years I would pay for used parts, ordinary mixing coolant with drinking water, bought used tires, and new when I had to. Keeping up with old cars is a chore. One of these days I will pay $240 for a new HV/AC solenoid. Two 3/4" brass, Hollow L shaped, will do for now. I will also remove the inside of the thermostat moving parts (and keep the rest) in the old cars. My other cars are: '97 Volvo 850 GLT wagon, '95 Volvo 960 wagon, and the newest is a Mercedes 2003 CLK430.

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.
