Niggling bits;
●parking sensors have always worked when I've had it but stopped about a month ago for some reason -I haven't looked into it yet

●oil level sensor doesn't work, it did for about a week when I got it but stopped for whatever reason, I bought a brand new febi bilstein one (cost about £80) and fitted it when I changed the oil but this didn't cure the fault. I've asked on the forum and apparently these cars only like genuine sensors so I was going to try a used one from a respected breaker when I change the oil next. With this fault you can't reset the service reminder light even though it's serviced. There is a dipstick in the engine bay to check the oil level though.

●there is an outstanding recall on the car for a battery cable this is totally free from bmw

●every now and again there is a slight creak from offside top mount but there is a genuine bmw one in the boot to go on.


I use my car every day and commute 50 miles a day 5 days a week to work and it's never missed a beat. Good on fuel a full tank gives around 530 miles
