In the process of elimination... done the same just removed the car phone and also if it has traffic master apparently this can cause a big drain even if not subsribed to, so gonna disconnect that, charged battery last night and has taken a charge so hopefully all ok

There you go not far out ...lol... nice wheels

Got a V70R im selling if you need a project.....was gonna be mine then the 7 came along....

Mine must have come out in sympathy for you yesterday...went to satrt and battery dead as a dodo....hopefully just were i have done short journeys and cleaning the car with the doors open etc, other than that looking for a drain..

Auto glym HD wax then Auto glym Extra gloss protection...Also Auto glym alloy wheel seal is the nuts....Get the alloys right clean then spray on this seal and stops all the brake dust and grime gettin into the alloys.... the puppys nuts

just got a 728i sport 2001, gotta say i love it, part from going out to it yesterday and the battery was dead, now gotta figure out if i have a drain or it was where i have been cleaning it etc....Think its the only series i have nt owned..........apart from the Z1, Z3, Z4, Z8, 8 series, 1 series, X1, X3..LOL

Eviction..... made me think cardboard box or ply with corrigated roof.....

I had a 330 conv M tech sport, the wife loved it, stiff enough for handling but not so bad it breaks your spine... would def go for the sport, think every BM i have had is a sport.... the 7 series i have at the mo is a sport and still feels like its on air but great round corners.....

Welcome Mate

LOL...... Good Job some Captains have morals

As you have abandoned ship, have you thought of getting a job with an Italian cruise liner.....LOL

I have my moments ...lol

Reckon it has to be cheaper for BM to spray cars white, also saw a white X5 once and it did nt look right...not a fan of white but certain cars do look good ..prob cause i have had so many white vans

got the answer... go for Satin LOL

Got a TV in my one, works ok but does depend on where i am, where i live i get avery fuzzy pic but when i took my football i got all channels and crystal clear pic, so with mine it just depends where you are, my mates ones are the same and as far as i am aware they have nt been upgraded... but like Dabsy says you can get upgrades on ebay for £50-£80 with freeview and look easy enough to install.....

I walk away from my BM every night when i get home.... so arriving somewhere does it for me

I have 4 year old twin boys so anything by the teletubbies, disney channel greatest hits, or Dora the explorer at glastonbury......This is my excuse and im sticking by it :)

Really wanted the next number but......499

No prob James....but do a google search on the 320d using model number ie my 7 is a e38, so seach for bmw E** problems or buyers guide etc i did this on the 7 and found some sites that are totally technical and had buyers guide on what to watch out for..............

Cheers Ian, yeah it is a strange colour, have seen it on 3 series quite a lot but not on a 7 ( steel blue) Also she is nt in bad nick at all, got a few spots here and there but thats why got her cheap, plus got a mate who owes afavour who sprays cars, but just polished her up and guarded the paint and she comes up almost like new.... well pleased

495...and no longer a newbie...stop posting now lol

Not to sure about 320d s but look at the usual things, like it having full service history mainly BM, low miles, low owners, check the car for wear and tear ie seats and steering wheel are always a good sign, check body panels are straight and no signs of a shunt, check engine bay for signs of leaks, also undo oil cap and look to see if it has cream under it ( sign of a head gasket) once running check exhaust for blue smoke etc and if can take for a nice long test drive to see how it feels but to be honest if it has been serviced regulary not a lot goes wrong with BMs, also do a google search for common problems with BMW 320d and have a look on ebay, they have classifeids and i have just got my 7 from there and it is absolutely mint.....
