Thanks Peertjies
Must say - I've had many joy with my Beemer - have had it for 11 months now, and after everyone warned my, had it serviced twice, without any major incident.
I do have a few questions though - so I will use the forum extensively. Even though I have a working knowledge of the internal combustion engine, I will never attempt to do anything myself (Ek het 10 duime, is nie so handig nie)
Thanks for the replies guys - you're making me feel very welcome...
