What is the service history like?

First buy a C110 scanner from eBay for around £40 or Carly BMW (£80 is for dongle and software).

Cheap items to do which if nothing else is good maintenance is:

Hi All,

What happened (2007 (57) X3 20d 177ps N47
Driving down motorway today, started juddering/limp mode, loud whistle, just about made it home in 1 piece

Car still starts but there is no whistle anymore, but there is a rattle coming from the Turbo area, like a 10 pence coin spinning in a Coke ...

Price reduced to £159.00 O.N.O

From memory (and if I'm reading the DOT week and year number correctly) 2 of them are 2013 and the other 2 are 1-2 years older but will have to go in the garage to double check

But as they are not winter tyres the year is not as critical, as winter tyre's harden over time

4x Bridgestone Turanza EL42* BMW Approved Star * rated tyres

Will also be superb tyres for any other car, especially because they have been approved by BMW

All tyres are at 6MM tread, including even wear across the width of tyre.

No repairs or punctures

So my X3 has OEM 17" rims all round (none staggered) with the same budget tyres all round (235/55/17), although they're the same budget tyres with same even tread wear, its still knocking ...

I've done some research and
1. EGR and Engine Thermostat I should be able to do.
2. Swirl Flaps Blanking should be do-able too
3. Glow plugs and controller should ...

Thanks for the reply, I bought it privately from GumTree, so got a feeling it doesnt need to be declared? I got a feeling its also possible to remove the cat C if its been repaired properly and inspected by the authorities? However leave the insurance side of things to me, I just really want to ...

Hi Guys,

Proud new X3 owner, just bought a 2007 BMW X3 E83 Facelift 2.0 20d SE 5dr 2 weeks ago. However its going very down hill.

Test drive was perfect. After purchase I noticed clunking/grinding noise from the rear and the parking sensors not working. From searching the clunk seems to be from 4 ...
