Hi,
I've just recently joined the forum, after buying a 2000, 320d touring. Really like the car, but unfortunately sold a bit of a pup by the dealer, despite having a new MOT I have had the spend another £700 on new brake pads and disks, anti rollbar links and bushes, handbrake shoes/kit, brake flush - some of these they were surprised at as they are MOT failures. The dealer did change the rear diff and propshaft as they were a problem - but too over 4 weeks to do the car and return the car, although during the service they commented on the very dirty oil in the diff.... and the dealer who sold the car doesn't seem interested.
Hopefully this is the worst over, though there are other things I need to get sorted - MPG is low and car running quite cool, windows randomly opening and closing, heater blows hot all the time... one day I'm sure it will all be sorted with the help of bimmerforums
