Actually, the BMW 3.0d twin turbo is pretty reliable as long as the swirl flaps have been sorted. So if you were looking at them i'd say the only expensive thing you need to be careful about is the...

Looking good Pete.
Nice looking car.
Probably just me, but i think it looks better on the medusas.
They do ride a lot better on 17s.
The alarm on my s60 just started going off randomly, for no apparent reason. Then, by pure accident, i found out that if i locked it by the key THEN the fob, it fixed it lol
This isn't going be helpful but, it's a p2, they just do things like that.....
Rebuild and torque converter for around £2700, new box is about 6k.
It's funny really, because of my job i know roughly how much a new box is worth at cost, and they are nowhere near that much. The...
Yeah, around £2700 to sort it.
BMW don't actually make the box though and, to be fair, I seriously doubt that the automatic gearbox that volvo were using in 2005 would be able to deal with...
Maf sensors are incredibly easy to fit, even i did my own. Get genuine, much better.
Onto the problem, my friend had a very similar sounding issue when he had a t4 many years ago and it turned out...
Might 535d might suffer the same fate, the gearbox needs a rebuild :(
It is a very, very nice car. Think i've only ever seen a white one once, many years ago.
I always find that type of comment strange really.
I mean, if somebody owns a 500+bhp super saloon/estate (that's only a few years old) then it would be safe to say that
A) They understand the...
Yes, definitely worth it.
What type of bulbs does it use? If it's not an R and it uses halogen bulbs, then they should be plastic.
As i said, i put my foot through one of mine.
I smashed one of the headlights on my 2005 s60 once, and it was definitely plastic.
I'd imagine the s60 would go very well when mapped as i'd have thought they would be a good deal lighter than the V70.
Just FYI, if you are thinking about a 335d don't expect much mpg. I have an...
I had a drive in a 205bhp s60 D5 and i really, really liked it. I thought it was a great all round car that i was tempted to buy, but the boot was just too small. I'm sure it was smaller that the...
Always interesting to read others opinions but, for me, the phase 3 are much better cars. I've been in a few of the phase 3 s80s and v70s recently and i found them quieter, more comfortable and...
It does look very nice.
Thats how my 5spd auto is L-3-4-D.
What year is the c70 in question?
It's not an estate.
It's not piss yellow.
It's an auto.
Those things must take away from it's value...........i'll take it off your hands for 3k ;)
It's the combination of power and traction. Because they have so much more grip at low speeds, it puts more strain on the drive/transmission. If it's a car with decent power and a weak gearbox, it...
If we're talking about the 2wd 5spd auto, i'l tell you what my garage told me.
The early geartronics had a lot of issues but once past 2003 they got much more reliable, especially on the non T5...
Incorrectly assembled brakes???
First of all, i'd get the wheels balanced again. Your dad may be sure he's had them done but, as it's a very cheap job, you may as well have them done again.
Then get the wheels aligned, preferably...
