Hi Colin, welcome to the club. Don't let your 'wife, GF or partner' sit in the car, that may ease your squealing issue!!! Have you considered the fan belt? It may be loose/worn etc.
Welcome aboard Sean, I had a 120d M Sport and thought it was outstanding but the M3 is something very special. This might help. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/bmw/3-series-e90-2005/?section=history
Hi Bruce welcome to the club. Post some pictures of your trusty steed when you get a moment. I'm a boy racer with a grown up attitude so you never get told old to be a boy racer at heart. It's all a mind thing. Enjoy your car to the max ;-)
Hi Graham, welcome to the club. I've run and owned a 520d M Sport in the past and found it a superb machine. You can tell your missus from me it's a far better car than an Audi, well done. Incidentally what did you have to concede too? ;-)
Welcome to the forum Martin, custom says 'newbies' shall post photographs ;-) Have a read of this it might answer your question http://www.wheel-size.com/size/bmw
No disgrace in feeling the need for a sweetie shop Jonathon, I felt the same way the day I got my new beastie and I'm a little older than you at 60. I guess the pictures will be posted shortly. Enjoy ;-)
Well Stephen that looks absolutely fabulous, what a wonderful motor and you have every right to be very proud of such a fine example. Reminds me of when I lived in Germany in mid 80's looked to buy a plain and simple 3 series 318is (in that very colour) but decided on a Ford Sierra 4x4. Stupidity of youth you might say but saw sense in the end. Have fun and enjoy every minute resplendent in the Miami Vice Shades ;-)
Hi Gazz, welcome. Have a look at this it may shed some light. http://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en/models-alpina/historic-models/bmw-5-series/e6061.html
