Thanks for the welcomes....

The car was\is the best example of a 320 that was for sale under £600 currently on any of the used car sites, took me 3mths of waiting searching to find this... almost had a 328i in December but someone beat me to it... anyways paid £360 for the car and the 320 needs some work, welds on the rear jacking points 9will be done this weekend) and the ABS Light is on so need to diag which sensor is at fault.... totally solid arches and panels paintwork is fantasic for age, the grey leather needs tarting up with a clean otherwise its spot on...

ABS light is a common fault matey ;)

I just hope it aint the ECU thats at fault and its just a sensor, i read in the common faults page something about the solder points.... i had this issue on my 1st Fiat Bravo fortunately i guy off the BOO forum knew how to fix them....

How likely is ti to be this....

Antilock Braking System:

-Faulty ABS pump motor relays manufactured prior to May ’96 can trigger the ABS warning light.

Karl it will be a sensor IMO or just a sensor needs cleaning

I !Removed! hope so... the MOT centre said the n/s front brake was weaker than the other so i'll start there me thinks... cant wait for the weekend so i can get my hands dirty, 1st to grind off the bolts on the exhaust where it joins the cat back, then weld up the jacking points on the rear and check the brakes.... once thats done its off to the MOT shop again.....

Hi Dabsy are the ABS sensors magnetic on the 94 320i or spigots, when you say fins? do you mean the dust guards at the back of the discs..... to be honest no idea how old the fluid is i'll check the last service sheet...

Yes magneto jobbies and NOT the plate but the oposing fins which can get clogged up with brake dust or general road grime, or simply rust as they are steel !!

Parking Sensors.

I recently bought a BMW 750i and I have had the parking sensors both front and rear, stollen twice in the last six months.

Has anyone else been a victim of this very costly and distressfull crime. The police has been of liitle help and BMW customer services were even worse.

I will be grateful for any advice on this subject.
