Not overally common for them to drink oil, more so with the 4/8 cylinders. Map your usage over time to get a handle on how much it is using. Eg - do an oil change and once the add 1 litre warning comes on, note how many KM's you have done. Repeat a couple of times to get an average. Correct oil can also make a difference. That limit is typically for M cars, if you are doing that then typically have valve stem seal issues but again, dont see that too often

Soon hopefully, but I've got one of those flat-peaked cap wearing ones so who knows

Idrive? If not, engine on, and use the flicker switch and BC button to go to the reset option, and press and hold. It will then re-calibrate as you drive off. Youtube is handy for this

These dont have TPS, instead use the wheel speed sensors to detect the rolling diameter. Set your tyre pressure, reset the system and you will be ok. It will only detect loss of pressure in relation to the other wheel and not once it drops below a certain pressure. If you ever top up the pressure or change it, you need to reset the system

I paid 10k for mine facelift 325 auto about 3 odd years ago. Now has tech 2 kit, alpina boot spoiler and manual and IF I'd sell it, would want north of 20. I do need sort out the seats however

Had a few customers who used to daily them, can't be that bad to do 150,000km in

There are around 25 criteria for the car to meet before it will turn off but low battery charge is one of them. Most people are thankful it doesn't work so embrace it haha

Dont use your brakes, problem solved

Love a good Lee-on Brouche goes perfect with fixing rusty BMWs

Very rare and hard to find, I think r56 was the last diesel mini BMW NZ brought into NZ but I could be wrong

Scroll through the menu to find out why, could be WOF reminder or stat emissions testing reminder if yours is an import. If it is either of those hold the BC button down and then change it as desired. If it's engine oil, brake fluid or otherwise then via the cluster

You don't know pay for the labour, you pay for the knowledge and the investment in the software to be able to carry out the programming. What needs programming? Genuine keys come coded ready to go unless the vehicle has comfort access

Its 20k ono so could be had for less, The car market is a slow at the moment, particularly for mid 2000's BMWs seen e70s selling for 8k with 150km on the clock, e90s for 5k and less And his had the SMG and I think bearings done as well, will have to check with him

These are super cheap now, my brother picked up one for 18k recently

As they brought brand new and e90s don't end up on dealers yards. It's a decent car and has a very good service history, message me if you want to know more about it

Nice work bro, good to see some mint e30s in Christchruch again

Picked up an 08 Mondeo for the Mrs and family duties for 5k and has treated us well so far. Some of the interior trim is starting to come away but it does have 180km. They are plentiful so getting replacement parts should be easy enough

So many E3's have popped up all of a sudden. My mate picked up a rusted out 3.0si as a parts car for his one. I sold mine and know of 3 others as i was trying to sell mine. Looking forward to seeing more on yours

Was it the orange one for sale in Christchurch on trademe recently?

Know of one here in Christchurch but probably a bit far away

2min job to replace. There are places that do regas

Was this the s50b32 swapped one in Christchurch?

Should have it, split apart your key and look for the chip?

Ah yes you are right

^^ E3 wagon - only one of those left in the world.
