That's as ugly as sin but I want to drive it.

pending sold

I picked this up on behalf of one of my friends through a member who was giving it away for free. After a few weeks of going back and forth my friend decided to take another route with his build so doesn’t need this and neither do I. You can have the engine stand with it as it’ll be easier to move around and I don’t need it. As I picked it up for free I’m passing it on as free or for a box I’m located in East Auckland Text me to arrange pick up 02108354482 Thanks

Concur with @NZ BMW on the DEF equipped ones ('BluePerformance') with the second filler beneath the fuel cap - will be horrendous to sort when they have an issue - They are a recipe for trouble. F3x is a great chassis otherwise though.

Watch the front suspension on the F30. I am pretty convinced this week that I’ve killed my sway bar links which I thought was pretty early, with just about 100km on the clock. I suspect it’s the M-Sport suspension as I’ve done 30ks of what I would call mainly city or motorway driving... and let’s not forget my raging about the cost of the “big blues”. 😅 Mines also had a recall or the EGR actioned when in for service so might want to keep some of the emissions stuff in the back of your mind being a diesel. Mines been nearly flawless touch wood.

F30/31 diesels are great both 320d and 330/335d. Dont see them depreciating much from what ive seen also because there arent many. Totally different price to the 1 series though. Almost 10k more for a 4pot and more for a 6. where do you draw the line? Might as well get a 535d. Or an x5 m50d.. 😂

Thank you for the responses, much appreciated. Coolant check was performed when completely cold. There's no service history, but I had budgeted for the cooling system overhaul 3pedals your breakdown is great, cheers. Based on that, it seems likely to me that: it has a faulty sensor and coolant has been overfilled in response. or it has a leaky HG. I highly doubt any recent maintenance, and can therefore pretty confidently rule out improper bleeding. Now I just need to decide on a PPI or walk away. Still confused about why the warning would occur only after turning the car off and not during driving, but I have a better understanding of the situation now. Thanks all
