Maybe engines from different factories where people have different standards :fencelook:


Just get an E46 or an E39 :thumbsup:

Have to agree with Chef here, last real BMW's IMO were the E46's and E39's :thumbs:

Have to agree with E46 and E39 being the last of the good BMW's, problem is they are getting virtually impossible to find for sale in good condition with decent mileage, and especially with a proper manual gearbox!

For those with electronic dipsticks, best thing to do is measure the amount of oil drained to verify what the oil level sensor is "telling" you...

This is very very true! Although, not completely impossible, all that is needed is a little patience :sneaky:

Just my few cents here...... The ZF boxes that came with the M54's (320i, 325i, 330i, 525i, 530i, 540i) were excellent :thumbs:

Lets not forget in the M52... Flash's 528 is at over 400k and going like a train! :rollsmile:

Nothing wrong with the gearboxes, just prefer manual gearboxes... :rollsmile:

:bravo:

Yes the E46 and E39 were great! But remember their time is passing on now. I had an e46 325i manual then an e90 325i auto and now an F30 320d auto

Yes the e46 and e39 were solid cars and reliable. The e90 was not so good and I am dissapointed in them. But you fellow fanatics that are still praising them HAVE YOU DRIVEN AN F30 auto before :tease: . Just ask those who have an F30. The power is awsome the gearbox is unlike anything you know(magic) and roed holding is way better than an e46 or e39. Atleast I can say this from experiance.

Oops this thread is intended to see who has an Dipstick on thier F30 and just look where we end up :rollsmile:

Ja all we need BMW to do is bring back an spare wheel :rollsmile:
