Hi all, I have finally bought a BMW 320D! I have been looking for the right one sinse the start of the year, and finally own one. I was after a 320D coupe, but I couldn't find one that I wanted, and I nearly got conned with one that had outstanding finance. Then this beauty popped up on ebay 30 miles away from my home. Its a e90 320d msport [163] , on a 06 plate, 100,000 miles, full bmw service history, 2 owners, full years test, good tyres, and in very good overall condition.

I have already bought some LED rear number plate lights, swirl flap blanking plates, and I am also looking at HID kits, but I do need help with that, there are so many different kits, and all say FAULT FREE, but with the price difference I cant see it. So if anybody can help me with what to buy and what to avoid, that would be great!

I gave the car a 3 hour valet at the weekend, and fully GuardX'd the paintwork and interior (I was a valeter for 5 years), and I found the paintwork is covered in stratches from the car wash and other scratches, so I will be fully flatted and machined it once the hosepipe ban is over. The front bumper has also had a wollop, is abit mishaped and theres loads of stress crack all over it (as shown in the pics), so that will be off to the body shop.

The interior is pretty much unmarked, apart from the pillars, the fabric is really warn on them (as shown in the pics below), so i will try and find some second hand ones from somewhere?

Anyway heres a few piccys.

Before the valet:

Beautiful, very nice car mate I'm looking for one of those myself at the moment, probably similar age and mileage too - I had an SRI Vectra 150 previously until it was written off while parked outside my grans house (drunken woman, long story!) and I've been looking for a new car for a while now, checked loads of cars but keep coming back to the 320d it is definitely the one for me, cracking car

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
