Took off the steering rack ECU, sent it off to ECUTesting for diagnostics/repair. Now all back in and working as it should. Approx £750 altogether for the ECU repair and the garage work costs.

Purchased my car back in Feb, 3.0 Auto, 2010 plate, 87K odd miles. Good MOT history, but almost no service history details. One thing I do know for sure—the battery is one year old, so it's virtually brand new. It has recently developed an intermittent power steering glitch. The error messages...

Well, I got rid of your competition then, because you are, now, most definitely, the only lovely chap with an E89 over there :))

Got this one today 3.0 Auto, White with red interior and black roof. LCI, Pro Navi, Sport/Heated seats, PDC. 87500 miles, decent history, paid £7500 to a lovely chap in Spalding No heated wheel, maybe missing some options, but good enough for me. Long drive from Spalding to down South/Sussex...

Hi, opinions on this please: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226525340019?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Q7hKHPGLQ1-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=3IHbtuxrTwK&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Not the colour combo I would prefer, but otherwise seems good :?

Thanks Jake, its OK, I am quite cautious, part of the reason I am asking these questions here is to have someone have a second view. I have been buying some utilitarian cars from FB ads/ eBay before, and I think you just need to go in with your eyes open

And this one looks OK-ish. What do you all think? (I have requested the VINs for both) https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15470480

How about this one? https://www.facebook.com/share/gkk5UVJ64sdY54Ns/

Hi all, I am looking for an E89: Must be a 6 pot, 3.0i ideal, 2.3i possible; not a 2.0/2.8 or 3.5 Auto preferred but not a must Dont mind the mileage but must be clean with interior, paint and roof in very good condition. Ideally, red, but can look at other colours, especially if paired with...

Wow, thanks guys. Shame, I did really like the car, but after raising some of the concerns raised here, the guy pulled the ad down now... :o So, I will be on the lookout. Ideal car would be a 3.0 Auto in red for a reasonable price. How is 3.5 to drive?, is it a widowmaker in the wet/mild South...

The tyres are a mix of Bridgestone, Pirelli and Chinese Mazzini of all things, so they will need changing, but that is to be expected. Apparently, the previous owner had a significant service done last year at Fergies (attached), although I am not too sure why there would be 2 wiper blade sets...

I had a full professional audio install and soundproofing on the TT back in the day, and though I did like it, that was another time, another car and another purpose. Will check re the tyres...

Thanks for the feedback, so far not too bad. Changing the waterpump needs to be factored in unless there is a solid proof it has been done, but it would be the same for any other car out there on the market. Exhaust tips.. well, not too bothered with that. There are not too many cars on the...

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a Z4 E89 for myself in the coming weeks. My experience with BMWs previously is limited to SUVs, and my experience with coupes was only with a TT Mk2, which was nice but I want something different now. My ideal car would be a 3.0 Auto in Red, with heated seats...
