Not to sure about 320d s but look at the usual things, like it having full service history mainly BM, low miles, low owners, check the car for wear and tear ie seats and steering wheel are always a good sign, check body panels are straight and no signs of a shunt, check engine bay for signs of leaks, also undo oil cap and look to see if it has cream under it ( sign of a head gasket) once running check exhaust for blue smoke etc and if can take for a nice long test drive to see how it feels but to be honest if it has been serviced regulary not a lot goes wrong with BMs, also do a google search for common problems with BMW 320d and have a look on ebay, they have classifeids and i have just got my 7 from there and it is absolutely mint.....

Welcome Mate

Welcome Mate,

I have been driving for 20 years now and have owned over 60 cars, so my guess would be ...........not very long....LOL

I agree..............LOL

Cheers Steve, i had heard that as well.....to be honest tho will just have to get off my ##### and get the bulb out.....

love marmite..... but hate the new mini as it doesnt spread very nice on toast and has a sort of metally taste to it.... plus !Removed! expensive for breakfast........

Only ever go in there now to get parts i cant get elsewhere..... either do bits myself or have a mate who is a good mechanic, who can stamp the book..... but when i had a new BMW would only use BM then.... but have been attempted ripped off by them, but luckily know a lil bit about cars so stopped them in there tracks......... but at least bmw have the courtesy to grease you up before penetration....

Would have to agree with snypa.... has to be Elenor from gone in sixty seconds....as not there tho voted for the General Lee from the dukes of hazzard... always loved that car... i mean its horn plays a tune FFS.....and it jumps really high without buckling or bending....but a close second to elenor is the dodge charger dragster in the first Fast and Furious that vin deisel races at the end with the copper across the railway track.....just would love to have a car that wheelies when it pulls away from traffic lights....

I always have intentions to get 12 months but then end up getting 6 months because i see something i want to buy withe the extra money for the 12 months........Apparrently the higher rate tax rules applies to any vehicle built after 30th march 2001 ( found this out in an ebay ad for a car i was looking at) and mine was built..................Feb 2001..............but have since found out ( after taxing mine) built really means when first registered and mine is................20th April 2001......Typical.....

Cheers Dabsy, think thats what i am going to have to do..... was just being lazy LOL

Take out the bulb, would guess its a festoon ( torpedo shape) on the side of it on the metal should have 12v 10w/5w etc, measure it lenghth wise, look on ebay under festoon bulbs and they will have all sorts on there that will do it as they go by length and wattage, if its the normal shape just look under number plate bulbs ( on both could even put in BMW E36) and also jst look at metal part of bulb for wattage, i just got 2 for my car, arrived in 3 days and cost £2.00...

Always used Auto glym but also Mer is really good... been polishing the BM but done my back in... so have been doing it for 3 days now and still have the doors, wings and qurters to do....one of the best products auto glym have is alloy wheel seal.. basically clean and polish the alloys then spray this seal on them, wipe it in and buff....And then it leaves a film on the wheels that stops brake dust etc getting into the alloy, so when you wash all the crap just wipes off........

Four hundred and eighty five

Cheers Kirby, might be ok then, long as missus is nt running around, got 4 kids so always hectic on a weekend

i agree, think more likely it doesnt, just that after 2000 they it was std but i have a feeling this is US spec

couldnt vote as dont have acts of god on poll............

This is a true story.... i was in my garden detailing my reliant robin when all of a sudden a big beam of light shone down on me with angels singing in my ears this big face appeared with a long beard and hair of gold, he handed me a stone tablet carved into it was the words " you must buy a BMW" with this he told me " go forth young man and do as i wish, this is the word of god" so i read the message on the tablet and on the bottom it said " this message will self destruct in 10 secs" with that it did..... that is what i told my missus...........

i must be about 4 cause my missus keeps saying i am one of her kids..........

Got MKIII, sat nav in beemer, used for first time other day and was good, other than that i have a garmin, which the missus uses but sally on the sat nav only speaks when she wants.....typical really ( think her on the sat nav does nt know where she is going really so shuts up not to emmbarress herself, other people call it a fault but i know the truth)

had sky for 20 years now, but does !Removed! me off when they do all these offers for new customers and nothing for existing apart from up the price.... another thing thats given me the hump is that F1 is on sky and gonna cost me 20 quid a month to get it as you ave to suscrib to the full sports package even tho F1 ha its own channel, was kinda hoping i could just get the channel but nooooooooooo..... just have to sell one of the kids but which one?
