Hi there, I was asked, nay instructed, to introduce myself so here goes. My actual name is Ian. I plan to do a bit of maintenance on my car so thought I'd tap into the wealth of wholly accurate information on the internet, then joined here to help sift out the stuff that is actually useful. I've come back to BMW after last owning a BMW 2002ti in the 80s. I've now got a 2003 330i Touring, very nice in Mystic Blue. If anyone knows who owned BRE 179 previously I've got a selection of their CDs which were left in the changer and which I'm happy to hand back. My musical taste leans away from Barbara Streisand and towards Radiohead. I guess I need to add a pic of the car at some point.

He should fit in an e60 though, same power plant

W126 was car of the year, back in the 80's too. Even in Aus-truckin-falia, from memory!

good news! bravo!

I got it running. Now appears to drive fine, just idle hunts between 1k and 1.5k. And now it looks like the alternator has died But at least it runs
