This ticks a few boxes.

What are the thoughts ? Does any one know it ? What sort of money are they really worth ?

The car is mint and has a fbmwsh with every invoive to match.
There has been just over 4k spent on the car full service,pads front & rear
brake fluid,gear box and diff oil change.It got a few bushings and 2 tyres.

I really dont want a m5 with that millage (83000miles) but I have to say it
looks and drives like half the millage that is on the car.It comes with a 2 year
warranty.

It was a demo from M&G and then 1 owner from then.

I haven't been driving in outer-mongolia, so therefore I don't realistically need one to get dirt off my car.

Here's my problem. Don't know if it's happened to anyone before or anything, not as far as I can read on the internet.

Fuse number 33; interior lighting, rear left tail light and front left side light. Which I've been told feeds into the lighting control module. The Problem is, it seems to be staying on, for some reason. Can't set the alarm because of this, which it isn't the end of the world. My solution to the problem was to pull the fuse, but which has meant I don't have the side light, tailight and interior lights as I mentioned.

First of all, has anything like this happened to anyone else before? ]]> In Car Entertainment and Electronics SeanieM http://www.bmw-driver.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36713 I suppose I should say hello.... http://www.bmw-driver.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36712&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 20:59:44 GMT Before diving headlong into begging and pleading for help with all the various issues I have with my car, a 99 318is.

I phoned my insurance company about replacing the windscreen in the e39 today and they will only cover a spurious windscreen or 250 off the price of a genuine one, I phoned BMW who quoted me 370 euro for the windscreen plus 3 hours labour at 100 euro per hour. ]]> General Car Chat DavidK http://www.bmw-driver.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36708 living with a 730d? http://www.bmw-driver.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36707&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 15:43:23 GMT Hey guys im thinking of buying a 2003-4 730d and dont know anyone with one so im just wondering what there like to live with day to.day?
