Re: Anyone have any “interesting” petrol BMW tourings for sale?
Will get some more photos, a few below taken quickly. 550i is booked in for oil so we know it’s done properly. When we took the car in to be booked the Service station owner comment was “looks like new”. As Toby mentioned it’s a superb car to drive with a nice power to ratio balance and handling wit...

Re: VED changes.
Thanks everyone. If only DVLA or the Chancellor could explain things so clearly. Charles. From what you say, as long as the car is treated as PLG then between March '01 and end March '17 there is no difference in road tax irrespective of engine capacity. So I could have whatever monster I fancied a...

Re: Battery issues
Like others, I can't help with the possible parasitic drain but a quick search on E46 forums points mostly at the Final Stage Resistor (FSR) which can cause battery drain as it starts to fail, as well as unusual behaviour of the heater fan. This is a common problem on the E46 but be warned as you n...

Sytner B3 G20 Touring £65k
https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11275227 That’s my car! However, I don’t have £65k at the moment so if someone could look after it for a few years until it’s depreciated and I have some money. Would have gone for clear glass personally but everything else I like, a lot. Shame my man maths ca...

Re: Dash Cam Recommendations
Started off with a Nextbase 512GW and now use Nextbase 522GW. 522GW is a big improvement on the 512GW in many ways. I rear camera option and works fine. However. When I say rear camera and works fine there is a but. Originally I fitted the rear camera to the rear screen and long cable to the front o...

Re: Anyone have any “interesting” petrol BMW tourings for sale?
I had a difference response from the dealer on the 3.3 mentioned. I called them yesterday and provisionally arranged for a friend to go and have a look at it. But when he called today he was told by a different sales guy that they are not open for viewings let alone test drives, he went on to say t...

Re: F30 D3 Euro 6 Compliance
Thanks Matt this is really helpful! I've been worried about ULEZ as I'm currently on the hunt for a F3x D3. Cheers FYI, I have an F32 D4 and before requested CoC from Gary. Yesterday confirmed euro6, awaiting the documents to come through. BMW build date for mine is December 2014 so can’t see it ha...
