slvrbmw 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Hi Guys, I have been lurking for quite a while - enjoying this excellent forum. I picked up a 1997 328iSE (NZ new) on Saturday. Two previous owners and full BMW service history. Goes like a rocket and is well looked after. Only issue so far is it tramlines - very frustrating. Will start with a wheel alignment and if that does not sort the problem will start looking into replacing control arm bushes. TradeMe pics attached.

I love the car so far. Had it serviced (full inspection 2) and now runs like a dream. Congrats on the 6-series, they are lovely cars . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
