Bought an E92 M3
Hi chaps, new to the forum, and just got my hands on my first M car
Mine is a 2008 with 50,000 miles, manual version. The dealer told me the throttle actuators have been replaced, although there is no evidence of this, but it does have full BMW service history. Based on my initial impressions of the car, it feels like a very good example which I hope will keep me happy for years to come. The gearbox feels good, 2nd gear is slightly more difficult to engage than all the others, but not bad. No clutch clip as far as I can tell. Although I looked for one with BMW dealer history, I don't think i'm inclined to use the dealer. I've heard bad reports from other BMW owners. Would it be wise to keep it BMW, or am I better off using a reputable specialist? Thanks for any tips or advice. Oh, just thought of something else. When my mirrors adjust whilst reversing, they often don't revert back to where they were. Is there a way of cancelling this feature? |

The advice on there seems good but there's no app as far as I can tell so this if much easier to use! Maybe if we are all more active it will attract other users...

Sorry to have ignored you!
I have changed the oil myself half way through the time frame that BMW state. I have done this for all of my BMW's because I feel that they're pushing it too much. I would at least get the car services by an independent however since I have one with full BMW service history I will continue with BMW. With the mirrors I think it is a case of putting the switch on the mirror in question so that when you engage reverse it doesn't move down. If it does move down then you need to have it memorised in the seat and it should return to normal. Hope this helps. |

Annoying that Cutters don't have an app. I only use my phone and iPad for this sort of thing! |
