E90 Buyers advice

Hi All,

New to the forum and need some advice...

I am currently looking to purchase a 2005 / 2006 E90 320i Auto. Both cars have +- 170 000kms.

1. Is it worth buying a E90 with that sort of mileage?
2. What should I look out for and what does it cost to repair?
3. What does general maintenance on this car cost?

I know the car is high mileage and its bound to have issues, I am not looking for a car that's trouble free but I need a car that is reliable, comfortable and wont turn into a money pit.

Thanks

E39 528i MAF in Pretoria?

Hi Guys,

Do you know of a place in Pretoria/Centurion that sells MAF sensors for the E39 528i, single vanos models?

I do not even want to try the stealers! Their prices are crazy.

Is it OK to drive with the MAF disconnected? I have tried cleaning with carb cleaner but the MAF is not functioning properly still.

Thanks. Thumbs

Towing Advice

Hi all

In two weeks time I need to help my grandmother move down to her new retirement home in Port Shepstone, from Randburg. She is only taking her double bed (base and mattress), with two side tables, her fridge which is pretty small, her sewing machine (probably the heaviest of the lot, lol) and a few boxes.

She has a 2006 1.6 Ford Fiesta, which someone needs to drive down for her as she can't do the journey herself, so the smaller boxes and suitcases can go in there for the trip.

For the big stuff, we were going to use my uncle's bakkie (GWM double cab) and a rented trailer. However, his bakkie is giving issues with the clutch and so I've dubbed it unreliable for the trip. It won't be repaired within the next two weeks. Also, GWM don't have many good brownie points in my books. I've driven more than one and I felt highly unsafe in all of them. I don't favour making that long a journey in it, nevermind the clutch issue.

Now...

The E39 diesels have a bad reputation with their auto boxes, which is exactly what I have. I've towed with her before, quite effortlessly. The load to go onto a trailer is not that massive and so I thought I'd put an end to grandma's worries and offer to tow with my car. I think taking it slow and doing it in "manual" mode without the gearbox changing when it thinks it needs to should be okay. There's plenty of torque so I can keep the revs lower than, say, a bakkie towing a caravan.

Advice? Thoughts? Concerns? De-motivations?

Finished my Auto to Manual Swap last night(2am this morning Fencelook) and the car drives well but the box makes a whining noise. Sounds like the car is in reverse throughout all gears.

The spigot shaft bearing is new and so is the release bearing. The car does not struggle to go into gear.

Any Ideas? Need this sound to go awayBangdesk

Hi gents.. and ladies

joined yesterday and already finding lots of good helpful info here.
I have been a beemer fan all my life and am currently driving a E90 320d sport with the 18' rims
MP ran out last year so now its pay as I go Rollsmile

Current issue is tyres... any suggestions on where I can get the best prices on RFT..?
I have ruled out nonRFT as I use this car when we go long distance with the family. Even the space saver won't help when I need space to store a damaged tyre on the long road

125i Auto Box Whine

Hi Guys,

I have a 2011 125i Steptronic.

I find that at low revs the gearbox is whiny, its not extremely loud but it does sound like a power steering system with no fluid Flyfun

Can anybody tell me if this whine is normal, its become a real nuisance, because I am conscious of it every time I drive the car, instead of sounding like a 3litre 6cylinder, it sounds like an electric box.

Anybody experienced this before?

Anyone know of someone?

E87 Noisy conntrol arms

Hi Guys

so I posted some months back about an annoying rattle/knocking noise I had been having on my newly purchased 120i Msport.
so after much investigation and irritation it was concluded the noise to be coming from worn bushes on my control arms
I replaced all 4, upper and lower, right and left.
and was beyond pleased to know that the noise had dissapeard and the feel front the streering was wayyyyy better.
anyway the bastardo noise returned on Friday, I thought I was imagining until it got worst yesterday.
I took it back to the repair shop yesterday.
they stripped, played and tightend every possible component they believed could be causing the sound, but with no Luck.
they even tested it by removing the stabilisers thinking it would be that , but cannot detect the noise.
the new control arms seem 100%

its like a plastic thudding noise that occurs when the left wheel goes over a bump or uneven road surface.
on normal flat roads there isn't any sound.

anyone here experienced anything similar?
or might have an idea what it could be?
