Hi, its at 72K now, I have no idea of the history having owned it for just over 18 months.

I've done all the other repairs myself as a 'competent enthusiast' with more than a few years experience under my belt... no repeat faults I would like to add

Anyway, of all the various cars and bikes I've owned, this one is the one I least trust not to let me, or more importantly my wife down.

Having had a long chat with said wifey (she keeps me sane) it's perhaps more sensible to go with the flow, despite my concerns over the seemingly endless niggles.

If it's a keep and soldier on kinda thing I am after a gearbox to strip and rebuild in readiness for a major failure, which seems inevitable on the earlier models like mine.

Lol, sold my near concourse 1999 323i to finance this monster, that'll learn me....
