Loppy 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2015 Excellent choice, i'm sure you will find plenty of things to repair/replace as I did with mine, but they drive so nice. yeah the fuel pump went about 3 weeks after i got it but i haven't got a code reader yet and it had only 1/2 died so wasnt sure what had happened ,but hopefully should be able to fix most things myself from now on.next on the list is the 1/2 shaft on the back right :/ and a full fluid change.Ideally i was looking for a 530 or 330 but after viewing and driving over 10 this one was the best and i don't really notice the loss in power, and i agree with you on how well they drive considering the size and style differences to my 328 coupe this thing still handles a dream.

charles28 136 Report post Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I've found this model scanner works well for the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Creator-C110-Airbag-ABS-SRS-Diagnostic-Fault-Trouble-Code-Scanner-Reader-For-BMW-/221663126582?hash=item339c26e436&item=221663126582&pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtr I've had one for 3 months, its been quite useful, shows some real time data too, vanos, smooth running values etc etc etc. A mate of mine in Aucklands having issues with his fuel pump, if his car gets below between empty and 1/4 of a tank it acts like its run out of fuel despite having 12L of fuel left, did yours do something similar to this?

I think the pump was $250 including gst so not a expensive fix and literally takes like 30 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
