Hi guys Im new to this forum

So I bought a 320d about 6 months ago

The vechile has 1 onwer but every car second hand has few problems with that I will tell you as I go along

After I took delivery of the vehicle
The 1st thing I had to do is to change the steal number plate to the plastic ones that I got a very cheap price of R250 a set and made a very big difference to the vehicle

So the old owener had carried a gun so he use to sit with it and drive and made a small hole on the seat so I had to cover the hole
I took it to people who covers seats and they cover it and the seat looks like brand new now

The next month I had to deal with the bumper the old onwer had bump it slightly where it crack the paint and left marks I had to get the bumper done beforey friends wedding so I spoke to guy name Vincent from springs town he said he will redo my bumper and cover all the holes for R700 and the quality of the work is on point you won't see over spray or fish eyes it's looks like the car wasn't spray

And also the bottom grill was broken so I had to get a new one and at a price of R250 I managed to get a brand new original grill

So in the beginning of Dec 2018 I saw the m gear nob at work and I said I had to get it so this one guy I worked with made a plan and pull few strings and I got it

My next idea was to change the interior bulbs to blue

Then one afternoon I was going through ig and found different colours for the start stop button and I had to get the blue one for the team of car

Congrats on the diesel. After 6 months I'm sure you did a full diagnostic to make sure everything is fine on the car and if you don't have an aftermarket plan, take out 1 unless you got some cash saved. From the forum I have learnt that servicing earlier than BMW recommends is key. :thumbs:

Thanks bud really appreciate it
I work for BMW so I already diagnosed the car and ever
month I do a key reader to check for any faults before I put it on the machine

So far I only did maybe 3000km from the time I got the car so maybe in the next 4000km I will do the service just keep it running smooth
