Hi all revival of a very old thread, but may as well add to this for completeness and useful need for others. to confirm and check a few bits 1. In a previous post it was confirmed that the issue is possible across all models 30d and 40d - is that the case? I'd avoid a 40d if limited to that, as i'm...

Hi all Going to reuse this thread though subject not so accurate as you will see in below. If i don't get many reads / responses may repost as wonder if that gets more attention so long as not breaking rules:) The options are (subject to viewing) but this is based on investigation and price negotiat...

Have had this on my e46 since I’ve had it.

What was the cause on yours ?

Hi mate

I'd try emailing the address I sent, you'll get a proper response from BMW uk and in some cases options listed in more meaningful way

Nice one congrats...

Link doesn't work so look forward to pics.

If you don't mind what was asking price and what did you pay? happy to take a PM on this if you prefer.

Any plans for it, or any work need doing?

id say half the ones i've seen aren't great underneath and have some rust beyond subframe

Did you get one?

Only thing i'd add is as above, there not very popular but not sure that's a bad thing perhaps in terms of knowledge etc.

Road Tax is a consideration but only an extra 200 / year.

As above, or i've found BMW Customer Services via email quite helpful: <Customer.Information@bmw.co.uk>

I've found a 2011 40d with 68k and full BMW history, black with beige comfort seats (cooled and massage), HUD, rear entertainment, soft close, rear and side view cameras etc. Will collect this week, thanks for the advice. Hey mate Congrats on the purchase. I'm on the look out for the same sort of c...

nice car...

If you don't mind me asking what price region did you pay

Lucky for me i've not signed on the dotted line so issue is for them to find. If they don't i'll move on. I suspect the indy dealers don't want to spend to much cash, so could opt to do nothing and sell it to the next punter who isn't as picky me as me. Not saying these guys will do that, as looked ...

Agree. This particular one is best condition I've seen, low mileage, bmw service etc.

I'll see what / if they come back. But have decided not going to purchase if not resolved or explained upfront.

White and black or any dark wheels go do one.

A 40d I'm currently discussing with a dealer has the same and looks awesome.

I know this was started way back but looks good.

Went to view car today. Not bad rust isn't an issue and I think just a cash of putting together properly.

That said rest of car was ok though interior could have been prepped better.

Up for 17.5k not a bad car, with warranty full bmw service history and comfort seats and suspension.
