- 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.

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!

| My 2003 325 XI with 34,000 miles has the service engine, abs, stability, and eml lights on. Two different garages have not been able to find the cause. Any ideas? | |

Upon inspecting my 2006 330xi, 55,000 mi., I noticed bubbling/blistering of the paint over the front left wheel well. I think this means a complete sanding and repainting of at least that area(and probably more) will be necessary, and the problem will probably recur over time. My car is driven in a snowy environment where road salt is used, but I've never seen the problem in such a young vehicle. Somebody tell me that BMW will apologize and pay to repaint the damage.
