Terry's E92 330i

Ooof! That's nowhere near the tread depth markers but it's done that to the shoulder? Badly aligned?

Yes, my own fault really. Had the rear shocks give up on it over a year ago and completely forgot to get the alignment done after replacing them.

New tyres and 4 wheel alignment booked in for Thursday.

Finally got around to doing the rear diff oil yesterday, only a year after I originally planned to do it ?! Also did another oil service as that was due.

Definitely should've invested in an electric fluid pump as I was using some manual thing that took forever. Old oil was filthy, sealed for life my ass!

Good work.

I did the same on my z4, I may do the same on the new 330.. I don’t get the point of the ‘sealed for life’ approach

Gave the engine bay a quick going over too while I was down there as it was looking pretty grim. Going to miss this engine when I have to buy something sensible in the very near future ?

Scrubbed with apc and then a coating of AF Dressle.

Errr.. what's more sensible than a 330i ?! Especially one you've owned and maintained for years ?

Something that does more than 24mpg average

Is it broken or do you only go 15ft at a time ?!

Shitty commute + auto.
The N52 is super reliable but pretty bad on fuel, the latter n53 is good on fuel but has more issues, so it’s one or the other when buying an e92.

What’s the issue?

What’s the issue?

Have no need for the car anymore and it’s just sitting doing nothing. Needs some tidying up bodywork wise and I haven’t got the time to bother tbh.

Is all it needs is bodywork? Any other issues? How much are you asking? @terryc101
