Still looking for a 325ti M sport manual, looking for a really nice one with no issues.
Probably the wrong time of year now
When I got my 325ti 2 years ago Auto Trader regularly has over 20 at any one time, these days, maybe 6. These vehicles are getting rare, you only have to look at eBay to see they are being broken for parts to make a profit. Probably the wrong time of year now

I had the traction control light flashing away while accelerating at full throttle from 50mph in 5th this morning and it got me wondering about winter/M+S tyres, what's the consensus, anyone running M+S tyres over the winter?
Mine were good yesterday - put them on a few days back as a lot of snow was forecast for the Marches - CWC 850

Is the car you’re referring to the 53 plate blue one? If so, it was mine up until a week or go when I traded it in to the dealer. I also didn’t like his attitude!
It’s a decent car, but the front wings are somewhat bubbly around the arches and the hedgehog resistor needs replacing. He may have sorted all those issues, but be sure to double check! Oh, and the display on the stereo fades out when the ambient temperature is above 5 degrees!

Yeah, the dealer who is a convicted commercial level fly tipper It’s a decent car, but the front wings are somewhat bubbly around the arches and the hedgehog resistor needs replacing.

Kept going on about how its only a £2800 car, just a normal bm and refused to answer any questions about the history "look mate im not going over this now" and that the phone is ringing off the hook about it. Told me if I was interested then I should go up and see the car. Bearing in mind i told him previously I live over 250 miles away.
No thanks.
Car relisted for several hundred pounds less than original asking a week later
What sort of oil consumption were you getting with it out of interest?
Well, he won’t get anywhere near what he’s asking for it, maybe £1800 with the issues sorted. I traded it in for £900.
The guy is a tool. On the test drive of the car I bought from him, I noticed it didn’t have heated seats, despite the advert saying it did.
“Just a generic advert mate” (!)
Oil consumption was maybe 500ml every 1500 miles. Was a great car to be fair, Just needed something more practical.

How long are peoples cars taking to warm up? I've noticed mine seems to take a while, especially if I nanny it a bit when cold. I doubt the cold weather we have at the moment is helping.
Maybe your stat has failedMine warms up pretty quick
Monitor the water temp with the secret function on the OBC
