Mando330

Will 19x9.5 with an et20 fit on my e90 saloon? Loving the m167 (m6) alloys I think I've seen the car is et35 somewhere Would that in lay mans terms mean a 15mm spacer and bolts to match? Or is that just wishfully easy thinking?!😆

I dont think theres a dipstick in the car! Shocking. Will have another look. We did work out on the service that my engine needs 1/4 litre more than the manufacturers fill level of oil to make the max mark. Do some BMW's have both?! Electronic and dipstick..

Another query! When you top up a bit of engine oil- is there a system reset procedure? Or does the oil sensor just adjust the dash reading by itself?

Valet done

Dave, Thanks for the reply. Really put me at ease with timing chain! I'll try listen out for that chain noise. History wise was good running back on all mots, service naturally has the stamps but not much more than ticks for info as usual. Has it all serviced all fluids, mechanics well happy with this one! I think I want more of the 'subtle' thrum type sound out of the exhaust. What's good? I dont want neighbour nightmare exhaust sound! Sports cat option? Or does that just make it noisy with silly pops and bangs...

Wow, super fast reply thanks! Yep, in fact the dealer said the service prep- wasnt done yet- ready in 3 days. So I just told them knock some money off I'll take it now and sort it myself! Not bad for piece of mind! 118k on mine So for gearbox then, I'll ask my mechanic again! Brake and coolant fluids will be done too for same reason- and the mileage on car. Do timing chains need to be dealt too on these. I was thinking to hold out on major job like that until water pump needed doing.

Going in for a full service, never trust a car selling dealer! Garage has said gearbox on 57 reg is lifetime/sealed, is that even true. Can it not be oil serviced somehow anyway? Theres a touch of hesitation/flat spot at 2500rpm before it flies up fine to redline? Any ideas, so I can tell garage to sort that too. Vanos has already been done. Cheers And glad to be back in a 330i again.
