Tarmacterror

Nice motor there, looks clean for the age

My mate had same problem with alloys on his 335d sport it doesnt help havin the !Removed! runflats, try ebay for a set of original.I have heard that welding the wheel is not a good route to go down.

Welcome to the club, While i aint no fan of diesels this is a great engine bmw have produced the torque is amazing! the auto box suits the engine, enjoy the ride

same advise as daz, just give it a good clean up under the bonnet also take sparkplugs out and clean them most likely fouled up with it runnin so ruff. goodluck n keep us updated :rolleyes:

Inside the drivers door on the vertical post will have the recommended tyre pressures

The damage is looking more like a category d, it just depends on the insurance companys decision to repair it is dependant on the cost of the repair and the value of the car

I would have another 7 again i do prefer them over the new shape

The 330 sport is a nice motor it shares the same m54 engine of my 530 sport they are bullit proof As long as you feed them the correct castrol oil and keep up with the servicing. They do good mpg Considering it is a 3 litre engine just depends on how heavy of a right foot you got! Enjoy your ride keep us updated

Check the connection i cant see a battery causing lights to ficker.

Check the brake caliper it could be sticking, i had a similar problem, I just took the caliper apart and give it a clean up this worked for me :rolleyes:

Stick with the genuine pads and discs they are good quality product or try mintex/brembo i hear these do a good job and wont fade or let off too much brake dust like some aftermarket pads :)

This info on the extras the cars fitted with will be available from your local bmw dealer

That's a nice machine

Hope this helps http://www.dynomec.co.uk/images/locking-wheelnut-remover.png

Totally agree with you mate, its always worth paying that xtra bit, good to hear the beast will be on the road soon, Let the new clutch bed in nicely then time to have some fun :P

yea man sounds like a propa cruise

Synpa-d has a 6 cylinder engine in his beemer

Gotta have the warranty on a machine like the m5, some of them are falling down to 15grand with slightly high miles but the bills to sort these cheaper versions will go so big that you might aswell have paid that bit xtra and found a used approved machine with the added benefit of a warranty.

Unbelievable service whoever this poo dealer is, i Can understand the transmission warning light indicaticating a possible fault but How can you get the oil level wrong - good job you didnt floor it otherwise could have popped this beast anyway its got the warranty so no worries there.

Thanks for the reply, It all sounds positive with the lsd. I have driven the e39 m5 so if it grabs the tarmac in a similar way then its deffo on the list for new year. I Just dont understand why bmw never gave the owners the choice of having a lsd even the 540 sport isnt fitted with one Because originally this was the machine i wanted but couldnt find a decent one at the time. I'm happy with my 530 sport and with the manual box all really missing is the lsd, i intend on keeping hold of it until i have the funds for a nice m5 obviously the e39 :rolleyes: Check this beast

Nice1 steve, I found Northwest BMW in bolton, I'll give them a try
