Hi, Another new member checking in....

I'm Chris and I've just become the pround new owner of an E36 convertible. I'm a big fan of the classic stuff really, but family life means I need something with a better degree of refinement & safety that is still fun to drive. So far it's a winner on both counts!

It's my first experience of BMW ownership (well the Mrs did have a Mini for a while if that counts?) and although I'm only a few days into it, I'm a happy bunny so far. Overall she's pretty good for a 15 year old motor but there are a few little niggles to sort out so I'm sure I'll be on here asking advice a few times in the coming months.

Looking forward to getting to know this place,

Chris.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Welcome to the forum but just a question. Where are the pictures?

Just one piccy for now. If there's a nice day over the festive break I hope to give it a blast down to the coast and take some more somewhere a little more picturesque than my driveway.

Just a little update....

the E36 as she now looks following a little TLC over the winter....

and the newly acquired E91 for everyday use....

Since buying the E36 it was only a matter of time before the daily driver Mondeo was replaced. And even the wife likes it - last night I caught her on Autotrader looking at 1 series!

      Coolant leak

      Morning Kev Welcome to the Forum I am aware that the plastic return pipe (Header Tank to Rad) on the E53 became very brittle and was easily damaged. I replaced mine with 10mm Copper Tube after a long wait for replacement. But I was not aware, or haven't heard of X3 issues here in the UK I guess that you will need more from US based owners Dave

      Coolant leak

      Hi, quick query if anyone has experienced this issue. Purchased an X3 S drive 20I brand new, delivered on the 18/3/2020. All services conducted when required by dealer. Last service (major) was done on the 9/4/24. Approx 1 week later coolant leak was discovered. Vehicle towed to dealer, cause was cracked coolant pipe . Informed part would take 2 week delivery time ( ex Germany) at cost of $800. Vehicle has just under 30,000 on clock. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks

      2e47 & 2e41

      Hi Joe If memory serves 2e41 is bad communication between the EWS and DDE the other 2e47 is Thermostat or Sensor related. Looks like that sorts your weekend Dave
