Hi Jen. I am enjoying the Beemer. The big doors make parking a bit of an operation and I have had to re-organise my garage just so I can get in and out of it which is a squeeze. Ihave learned to avoid potholes as the M Sport doesn't have the most subtle suspension system. I love the smooth drive, the quietness of the thing. There are no rattles or noises that shouldn't be there which is a novelty. Worst car was probably a Rover 800 Vitesse Sport Lux. Lovely drive, really comfortable but when it costs nearly £2000 to have a headgasket replaced by a Rover Dealer you soon loose interest. Best car is a toss up between a 1987 XR3i that was specced up in Ford Rally Sport colours, RS Turbo body kit and a few tuning mods and a Nissan Sylvia Turbo which I also owned in the 90's. Also had an Alfa 156 Sportwagon that was a blast to drive. How about you?

Hi Jen. Nice to see someone else with a high turnover of cars. Im on number 50 odd now, however I am slowing down. Last car I owned from new for 3 years. This is my first beemer though.

Nice buy and hello.

Hi Bob. Welcome to the club.

They seem pretty cheap on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BC-OBC-Button-Indicator-Stalk-For-BMW-E46-E39-E38-3-5-7-Series-X3-X5-Z4-/370774424806?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5653e0bce6

Being new to this forum I have only just seen this. Before spending any money on cooling systems, always try changing the pressure cap first. If its not holding the pressure it will give you the same symptoms you are experiencing.

Thanks for the welcome. Will get some pics up when I get round some server problem.

Just wanted to say hi. I'm Bruce from Essex. I have owned around 50 cars over the years but this is my First Beamer. Just bought a low mileage 2008 320i M Sport Coupe on the weekend after selling my 11 plate Focus Sport which I had owned from new. Look forward to learning more about BMW's and hopefully will be able to contribute from my experience with cars over my 35 years of driving.
