Hi,

I am in the process of buying a used BMW (325i SE Cabriolet Highline [2009]) and I am bit worried about the maintainance cost that I might incur in the event of a breakdown or a mechanical/electrical failure.

I am buying it through car giant and they have offered me a AA warranty of a little more than 1K for 3 years. I have read horror stories about this insurance, how they try not to pay you in such dreadful events.

Should I still go ahead with this? or are there any other better warranties out there that are more reliable. Is there any approved BMW used car warranties?

This will be my first BMW so any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

MK

Thank you for the advice Steve an thanks Synpa.

I brought home my car yesterday. half way through the tyre pressure warning lights come on. They are run flat tyres and they look alright. I wont be able to do anything until saturday. Any advice on this? should I take it to a mechanic or Can it be sorted?

Run flats always look ok even if they have no air in them !! Just go to your local petrol station and inflate them to the correct pressure :) sorted !!

As for the Warranty, I wouldn't pay a grand for it as the car needs MOT's now and they'll wriggle out by stating wear 'n tear on everything !! You ought to have had a full AA/RAC inspection and if alls well just keep servicing her meticulously and she will give many years of trouble-free miles ;)

      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

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?
