Bought my first ever BMW (Nov 2007).. and went for a oil burner.. but had to get the top of the range - 330d M-Sport and one with extra space cause of the kids.. so tourer it had to be.. in the only colour I buy cars in - BLACK. This was the 184bhp 5-speed manual version.

It only had 1 previous owner.. full BMWSH and alot of optional extras. It had 103K on the clock but that didn't worry me. It had some scuffs to the alloys.. bonnet/bumper was chipped bad and some dents here and there.. but was clean and straight.

Now being one of those newer cars.. the computer tells you when it needs a service. Computer said 10K or something. However, as the previous owner had already had his next "company car".. this wasn't used and it had only covered about 2K in 8 months. So being from the old skool days of servicing cars (6 months) I gave it an oil/oil filter/air filter/fuel filter change. Job Done.

I registered on the forums (BMWLAND.co.uk) and the guys also advisied me to change the turbo breather and clean out the EGR valve... so I did and boy it was messy!
