Hi Riaan, any major problems thus far? How many km have you had your car for? Thanks
Hi Daivid1
I bought the car when it had 78 000 km on the odo. It had a new HPFP and injectors done round about 50 000km.
Since I've owned it, the gearbox sump plug, IIRC, sprung a leak, and that was fixed under MP.
So far no issues. Never even had a check engine light, limp mode or error code, in the time I've owned it.
My car has BMW Performance Power kit on, ie ECU tune by BMW as well as the uprated cooling.
I drive it quite hard. Biggest expense is rear tyres. 12 000 km, 15 000 km if I'm lucky, then I'm off to the tyre shop for new rears.
I service it every 10 000km, with Liqui Moly oil, never drive it hard when cold - about 40km or 20 minutes driving for all oils to heat up before pushing it. And I always let it idle down before switching the engine off.
Carbon Doctor cleaned the intake of carbon, and the car feels better than ever!
I try to take care of it, as I LOVE this car too much, and don't ever want to sell it.
