    Relay theft for 3 Series?

    Pompy replied to Davey-Suffolk's topic in Audio/Video/Electronics/Security
    Hi Dave I use a Faraday pouch. They are relatively cheap to buy. You can get different colours so if you have two vehicles they don’t get mixed up. I also use a locking steering wheel cover on occasion. I have seen krooklocks removed by cutting through steering wheel with bolt cutters and bending it. Determined car thieves are hard to beat. But every level of extra security you have. Locked gates, locking bollards etc. Takes time to be beaten. If you make it a battle . They will probably move on to softer target.

    I recently purchased a 320 ED plus 2 litre diesel tourer. On country roads it's doing 57/58 mph is this good or bad ? Car has done 75 k miles.

    Engine idling speed

    Thanks Dave for your reply. Have checked vacuum hoses. No sign of black smoke left idling for 20 mins. Car was mot and serviced when purchased last month. But not by BMW so hopefully just service issue.

    Engine idling speed

    Pompy posted a topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
    I have recently purchased a BMW 3 series tourer. This is my first BMW so quite a lot of it's systems are new to me. The engine seems to run at quite high revs when idling. To the point when I reverse the vehicle I can do this with just clutch and brake do not need to touch gas pedal at all. Is high idling speed normal ?
