All a bit of a worry. In 19 years with the same car I've replaced the rad, thermostat & hoses as a precaution only once… water pump is original! (((Never used tap/rain water…only distilled ALWAYS!))) My other 2 BMW's hoses & rad's were never changed during my tenure. I wonder…would this be a W...

Wow, makes this simply the best all round sport/cruiser going, the B3 is up with the M3 in price & I'd be surprised if it could do any better. The D3 looks like a bargain in this company a couple of years down to £35K or less and could be tempted. 8) This lot are really not happy. Fixed, unfair, a...

Just taken mine off. When I bought it last year it had (still has) black paint, black grill, black windows (all bar the front windscreen), black covers on lights, completely de-chromed…it's even got black tyres :wink: Looked worse than a Herse so replaced the grill & removed the black from the lig...

So could it leave the UK a total loss and come back having been repaired in Germany only to be reregistered with no accident history? Yes that's a worry isn't it…but the ad is poorly written "HAS HAD ONLY LIGHT DAMAGE TO REAR BAMPER" :shock: Plus there's no service history so wouldn't touch it an...

Just be careful with the car cover, make sure the car's always spotless before you fit it and if the car's kept outside beware of breezy weather, this can blow dust up under the cover and end up marking the paint. Also those multi layer breathable covers are a bugger to wash and must pegged out for...

This was the damage to mine, you can just about see it but they keyed the whole drivers side from front to back. To be honest I was completely shocked that someone could do this, then felt really depressed over it then really annoyed. I know why (well I think I do) the car is at times left overnigh...

I agree about low profiles, they don't have to lose much air for the wheel edge to start cutting the tyre. I still use the old 45 profile on the B10 and only once have I cut a tyre so bad, only because the tyre was completely flat. My current E39 has 65 profile on 15 inch rims...yeah I know, strange...

Yeah! For a short while I thought I was seeing things, but as I delved into the depths of the ad's there are squilions of 'em! Down right BS! I wrote to 3 and got equally BS answers back. Maybe flea bay should be told, but I get quite an amount of stuff through there and might tread on a toe or 3 or...
