gjdavis 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Having come from an E36 328i auto. Make sure you get a full service history. Service the gearbox if its an import with a full auto tranny flush. Mine was smooth as. As for manual, trust me on this; a happy wife makes you a happy man. Its not worth the trouble replacing clutches or fixing fences. Buy yourself a proper sports car with a proper gearbox once you can afford it. Lovely cars, watch the interiors but mechanically, hard to fault Cheers. We not gunna be driving very often in heavy traffic. It will mainly be used for weekend drives and holidays so I wouldn't expect to have much trouble with the gearbox.

My partner is 53kg and she can pull him in and out. My partner is just lazy, lol I hope she doesn't read this I wouldn't have a problem with the loading and un-loading of the little one, but I'm not the one looking after him all week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
