BMW and M Power Owners

[DJMK4]

Are you taking a leaf out of @DJMK4 's playbook?

Hey I made a decision in the end

I think mine had 2 owners I think I'm 3rd

41k miles when I picked it up

We've got one. Switching the bridgestones for pilot sports pretty much eliminated the wheelspin - so much better. It does less than 40 mpg on a motorway run.

Yeah I heard the potenza's aren't much good on them!
Less than 40 blimey, there seems to be such a mix. Lots of people on the 128 owners group on FB have seen the high 40s on chilled runs

M340i?

M340i?

No unfortunately that would have been very nice if I did though

Is the timing chain issue still a big concern on a 67k mile F30 320d reg July 2014?

I understand this is the N47T engine.

I have my doubts that front splitter will last more than a month or two though!

Just shy of three months.

We were leaving Stirling Castle today and the local council thinks a narrow cobbled street also requires speed bumps as well. I was literally at idle revs going over and heard a horrible scrapping noise.

Pulled over when I could and had this facing me.

Ah no man, that's a sad sight. Was it a clean break or did it shatter?

Sorry to hear you've damaged your car. Stirling Council are absolute throbbers. The amount of money they've wasted over that last 3 years narrowing roads, installing speed bumps and installing cycle lanes that cyclists don't use must be £insane. Glad I don't pay my council tax to them.

Other than your mishap with the car, I hope you enjoyed your visit to my part of the world.

It's just broken as you see it, nothing else is cracked or shattered. An aftermarket replacement seems to be around £70, so not too bad. Maybe a genuine part is not astronomically over priced by comparison. I also feel it's something I can fit myself, if I can get the front high enough to get under with tools.

If it hasn't have been Stirling council, no doubt there are plenty of other unnecessary speed bumps other councils have installed I could have done the same on.

Other than that we've thoroughly enjoyed visiting this part of Scotland. We did visit Edinburgh and Inverness (a base for driving parts of the NC500) in 2019, loved it and vowed to come back. I suggested we come up annually around Easter going forward, which I think we will do.
