BAD POINTS:

Car drives perfectly but when braking from 40mph - 25mph there is slight steering wheel vibration. Disc brakes & brake pads have been changed, brand new tyres on the front and balanced. Front hub bearings & stabiliser links changed. Below and above those speeds the car drives perfectly. However, it is intermittent.

A BMW specialist emailed me the following solution: The 5 series has MacPherson struts on the front and even though the bushes don't look worn they indeed are which causes the steering wheel to wobble at certain speeds. To stop it you have to change the 3 arms on both front wheels.

Another BMW specialist emailed the following solution: You need to change what is called console bushes or on bmws they are more know as lolly pop bushes you can get them from euro car parts for around £12/15 per side.

The radio has stopped working. The Radio Module is most likely at fault.

There is a bit of paint bubbling on rear of roof & minor rust on 2 wheel arches.

Passenger side rear panel has been resprayed due to someone putting a deep scratch. The panel is slightly dull & can only be noticed at certain angles. Just needs to be buffed up to bring it back to a shine.
