Bimmer Owners Club

Seems like a reasonable price to me. With any car you always run the risk of something expensive going wrong but it's just pot luck sometimes. A well maintained BMW should be as good as anything! :)

Blue looks good if you like that sort of thing but white is actually more useful in terms of light you can use to see by... :lol:

Hi Chas welcome to the club and yes as Daz says check all the fuses first. You never know it may be a cheap fix!

Hi Sean welcome to the club! :)

Hi Anthony welcome! Sounds like a bit of a beast you have there! Get some photos up when you can and most of all enjoy it! :)

Very interesting so all that bother and it just needed cleaning and a bit of tape?

Did you have it resprayed yourself?

Hi Craig welcome! :)

Hi Simon welcome to the club! :)

Hi Craig welcome! :) Nice 1 series!

I would have thought you would have heard a really bad sounding noise whist driving/starting if it was the timing chain? Could be some kind of immobiliser issue?

Hi Neil welcome! :)

Looks awesome Geoff love the colour! Is that pearlescent?

Use a fascia panel something like this

and then you can fit any single din radio you like :)

Hi Kris welcome back, looking forward to the photos!

Hi Steve welcome to the club! :)

Sounds great Geoff you're a lucky guy! Roll on the summer for dropping the roof! :)

Hi, thanks. thats a fair point but i am an original freak. dont really want to alter or modify in any way.

however if i want to get modern i suppose i will have to consider it. thanks for the post

Jon

I know what you mean Jon. I prefer the OE look too. May be worth finding the model of the original sat nav and talking to BMW about when the most recent update was released?

Hi David welcome to the club! :)

Your new F30 looks great is that Estoril blue?

High mileage isn't necessarily a bad thing providing it's been well looked after etc

Hi Charlee welcome back!

Hi David welcome aboard!

Hi Julian welcome to the club!

Great car history!

Hi Jon welcome!
