hi every one just bought a 2001 BMW 530 diesel estate with 95 thousand miles,
with the last owner servicing it for 13 years ,every 10 thousand miles
It is in mint condition,Air con,full black leather 5 tires of a good make
As when i buy or my wife buy's a new to us / me BMW i service it just as well i did not buy pollen filters as when it came to changing the air filter i had to remove part of the housing for pollen filter box,hay ho they were brand new,then the tricky bit was the air filter that runs along were on my petrol BMW's the rocker & coil packs and spark plugs go,it was a bit difficult to get the air filter casing back on ,and the air filter that came out was very clean,so much so that my friend the mechanic said it looks like its only been in there for a few months and i should keep it and put it back for the next time.
when it came to changing the fuel filter i was advised that it should be filled up with Diesel or it would have an air lock ,and when starting it up to rev it to the max for 5-8 minis to make sure it was all good
that was after the old oil and filter were changed
