Re: Buying a 2nd Hand 3 Series nope, a pal of mine recently bought a 1 owner low mileage mid 2002 E39 with an annual depreciation of approx $9k hence, $8.2k for a 318 is a tad high IMHO

Re: Sport Mode in my previous ride, an E46 318i, I was literally zipping around town with my steptronics, the car did 120,000km in 4 years when I eventually sold it off, never had any problem with the tranny so rest easy and enjoy your ride - it's been designed to handle it

Re: KNN filter for E46 pre-FL 318iA (1.9l motor) Hi Adrian and thanks for the interest, sorry to say that I've given the filter together with the cleaner and charger kit for free to a friend after holinezz backed out of the sale

Re: Cost of conversion from Orange covers to white you mean they changed the entire headlight assembly as well?

Re: No stupid reason to back-out deal Lee5627, put yourself in Ben's shoes how would you have felt when someone backed out? I'm in total agreement with Andy et al, that the "deposit" is non-refundable unless there was a specific caveat at the point you agreed to purchase the item that the...

Re: Volker Racing Spark Plugs Rodney, was in the area this afternoon after a round of golf at the SAFRA Krangi couse so went by Cheng Poh's and had my fixed, he gave me a 7ZX-11 plug (I think) instead of a 6ZX-11. Absolutely clueless when it comes to technicalities but one thing is for...

Was cleaning up my store room when I came upon my filter, will let it go for 50 bucks, still brand new, did about 20k on it before selling my ride.

Re: Help!! Has this happened to you before? I had the unpleasant experiencing of having an attendant wipe water off the boot with his rubber squiggy whilst paying for my fuel, came back and found long scratch marks across my boot

Re: Pullies for E46 FL318? Especially so when you consider that all 320i are now valvetronic engines, a matter of time I reckon

Re: FS: UUC pulleys for E46 6-potters Hey Neighbour, Have you gotten rid of that cricket in the car yet? Letting off your pulleys???? Why?

Re: Air-con problem Yup, it's the resistor pack that's gone kaput. I encountered the same problem myself, started off with the air-conditioner blowing at the same speed regardless of where the dial was, therefater, blower went dead and the only way to get it moving was to set it to full blast...

Re: Quiet Tires to recommend? choice really depends on your driving style. I'm currently running the GR80 and they're whisper quiet, grip wise, it's acceptable in both wet and dry conditions although nothing much to shout about

Re: Mechanical Cricket in my car All E39ers out there, just an update so that hopefully you guys don't go out and spend money unnecessarily. 1) Had the idle pulleys changed at one of the workshop found in the list but it didn't solve the problem. "Cricket" was still very much alive 2)...

Re: Ants Infestation! why not send the car for a high temperature steam clean @ autoglym? Guaranteed to kill all the ants in your car

Re: supercharged E39 ...........don't think I said anything about BVO.....just said Bernard's place, you know, the painter at that multi storey place

Re: Mechanical Cricket in my car What!!!! A free blow (I mean blower) for the price of a micro filter??? You must have most certainly charmed the CSA in attendance. As for my ride, the verdict is out, both camps are right - the tensioner/idle bearings needs replacement and the mechanical...

Re: Mechanical Cricket in my car Thanks for the input, and yes, I'd made it a point almost every morning until a couple of days ago to go flip open the hood to check if the sound was indeed commin' from the belt/tension pulleys. Whilst there is indeed more noise than ususal, the sund I hear...

Re: Mechanical Cricket in my car Thanks for the input, I'm kinda torn between the two propositioms actually caue just the other day, the blower was kinda acting up, fan speed remained the same regardless of where the dial was turned to. Would appreciate your feedback as to what exactly the...

Re: Mechanical Cricket in my car Thanks for the reply. Went by PML a couple of times but each time I was there, the sound somehow failed to come on. Was also told by a workshop well partonised by beemers that the idle tensioner bearings have failed, which kinda corresponded with the...
