Has the common fault of the highway shimmy. he has owned the car for one year and it has a VERY good service history. The car is in a overall pretty good condition.

tsamb 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Hi all, I was the previous owner of this car. As is stated, it has been very well looked after (and it was in good nick when I sold it last year.) The car was in my family from 2000 to 2008 and since 100,000 clicks. Always serviced regularly and looked after. I had the bushes on both front shocks replaced not long ago to try to fix the shimmy with no luck. It may just be a problem with the step up to the E39 wheels, which would be an easy fix. (I almost wanna come around and see it again, myself!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moktar 7 Report post Posted May 24, 2009 Its still just like you left it. except for a few little things that were repaired. Windows , cd player ect.. Pity he has to sell as its a really nice car especially for the money! Had a call over the weekend so we will see where that goes. Only have it listed on here so hopefully it will go to another BS member. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mines been like a new car since I sorted out my arms and put on different wheels to what I had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
