Replying to: eddie61 (Aug 03, 2009 6:49 pm) A 325is isn't an M3... Plus, if this is a US model, the first M3 hit these shores in 1987... Replies to this message: qbrozen (Aug 04, 2009 7:28 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 03, 2009 8:09 pm) Well, it definitely isn't a 325 if it has a timing chain.   And, like you said, there is no '85 M3.   Methinks the seller has a 318. Either that or it has had an engine swap.

Replying to: lehrer1 (Aug 04, 2009 9:36 am) I don't know how to reset the computer, it may need to be done by the dealer but I doubt it matters except from an aesthetic sense. I remember seeing directions for doing this on the web somewhere. You might try Googling or Binging it.   Good luck Replies to this message: lehrer1 (Aug 06, 2009 7:02 pm)

#4337 of 4453 Maintence Questions on a 2000, Manual 328i by paganoso Aug 08, 2009 (12:40 am)
- I bought my first BMW recently, a 2000, manual 328i with 70k miles from a private party. All service was performed at an independent garage. My next inspection is due in 8k miles and was wondering whether to go with the Inspection I, II service, or if there is something that needs to be done asap? I know the water pump has not been replaced. I have done my research and know that maintence is key in maximizing the longevity of a BMW. - This is the work the prior owner had completed. - At 66.9k Front Control Arm Bushings Replaced as well as Pullys and Belts - At 65.4k The 60k Major Service and Inspection, as well as Oil Service, Front Brake Disc, Pads and Sensors. - At 57k Oil Service and Inspection - At 51k Oil Service and Inspection - At 45k Oil Service - Any help would be much apreciated.

Replying to: paganoso (Aug 08, 2009 12:40 am) As far as preventive maintenance (like water pumps), I'll defer to others... but, the next scheduled maintenance for your car is an oil service, not Inspection I or Inspection II.
#4339 of 4453 Choices, choices by runningdoc Aug 09, 2009 (9:36 am)
I'm looking at a 2009 328i manual transmission, vs. a 335i manual, vs. a 335d (obviously automatic). I wondered if anyone who had these vehicles could give me some feedback on pros and cons, mileage, and experiences. I'm especially interested in hearing thoughts related to the 335d; Any feedback would be appreciated!

Replying to: runningdoc (Aug 09, 2009 9:36 am) I like the 335i manual which I've had good experiences so far. The one thing I would recommend getting is the sensors for the front and back. It's hard to gauge when backing up and the front end is low so you have to watch out for those low curbs. Replies to this message: runningdoc (Aug 11, 2009 6:49 pm) pdude1 (Aug 12, 2009 9:58 am)
