Would the gauge have moved without any coolant?

It did when it last dumped all its coolant a couple of years ago.

Is that a 330i badge on the back?

Handy, must be close enough to the block to work out of water. Much better than the oil level light.

Now go buy something reliable, like an Alfa Romeo.

It does look it, although last time I saw it, it was 530i.

Janesy B · 7 Jun 2009 at 22:44

Does look like it but it does say 530i

Why would there be a 330i badge on the back of a 530i?

To confuse/annoy us.

Yea, because stuff on the outside of a car affects the interior, attempt to be witty DENIED

Janesy B · 8 Jun 2009 at 07:39

Lets be fair, the only real annoying feature of the car is positioned between the driver's seat and steering wheel

and asked if it was prudent to replace it as a preventative measure. Nope, of course not, they said. Are you sure? Yes, quite sure, waste of money. Don't bother. Figuring they wouldnt pass up an opportunity for more work without good reason, I took their word for it. Should have gone with my instincts

Or your common sense?

I bet the leather gained another crease when the outside of the car had a scenery interface moment

Firestar_3x · 8 Jun 2009 at 11:34

Cor you're a laugh

It was obviously a joke based on how anal you are with your old bmw. sense of humour fail

[TW]Fox · 8 Jun 2009 at 12:03

Is it therefore acceptable to be anal with a new BMW? In exact days, when does a new BMW become an old BMW and when most one sell it and replace it with a newer one if they wish to continue polishing the car of a Sunday etc?

I need to know really so I can continue to enjoy my hobby of cars without the owners of Renaults looking down on my old car

Fox if it had blown up and would have been uneconomical to repair, what would you have got to replace it?
