Both responses are greatly appreciated. On Friday, I will be visiting Sytner Cardiff to view and test drive it; I have not yet driven it. The three-cylinder rumble isn't going to deter me, I'm hoping. The huge intervals between services were my sole worry; I'd like to steer clear of timing chain horror stories, so I researched them. Is there anything else that people think I should keep in mind while I'm driving or viewing it?

Hello everyone, Now that I've been without a BMW for almost a decade, I'm seriously considering purchasing a 118i M Sport. It seems like the car is in pristine condition and is in mint condition. In regards to the service history, my main concern is that the first service was performed at 17,800 miles and the second service, which was a major one, was done at 34,000 miles. This information is provided by idrive. The vehicle has a current mileage of 39,000 miles. This complete dealer service history is what BMW Sytner is referring to. Too long has passed since my last oil change, in my opinion. That vehicle has a 73 plate. Is this a potentially dangerous purchase, in your opinion?

A set of inexpensive basic alloys gets my vote. The rims don't have to be the exact same diameter as yours; what's important is that you select the correct profile tires to keep the total rolling diameter constant.

Apologies, the video has been rectified now. I will attempt to replace the rocker cover gasket regardless, thank you.

NOTICE I am youthful and foolish. Acquired a 1996 E36 as my inaugural vehicle. Familiarise yourself with the elements and locations of the primary engine components, and that suffices. I prefer to repair the vehicle independently rather than entrust it to a mechanic, though I recognise that this may not be prudent; I will resort to a mechanic if required. Acquired the vehicle a few weeks prior; the seller asserts it had no leaks, was transported 500 miles to my location, began leaking the following day, and exhibited increased leakage after subsequent driving. The E36 exhibits leaks from multiple locations; refer to the attached video and my grievances during the MOT, which indicated a rocker cover gasket issue. However, since that was three years ago, it could either be a relevant concern or something to disregard, as it may have been repaired or replaced to prevent recurrence. Small droplets are accumulating along the timing chain cover and across the oil pan, with some forming higher up. I appreciate your attention, and I kindly request that you refrain from labelling me as foolish, as it is painful.

I do not. I recall that during the huge snowfall and subzero temperatures, it emerged there. This post motivated me to investigate.

It is absent in Vehicle Diagnostics. Other locations remain extant. Android version 2.1.22

Intriguing, since this prompted me to examine my connections. The 12V status has vanished.

There is nothing wrong with 280bhp; it seems to be an intriguing endeavour. I will be observing with keen attention.

Well done! The invoice for this lot is likely to be unfavourable, I presume. It seems that the modifications will result in a really fast vehicle. And boisterous, but positively so. Eagerly anticipating the completion of this assembly.

What is the status of this project, Steve? Have you achieved any advancements so far?

Regrettably, not all mirrors exceed 100, so I will just get the motor. My mirrors do not automatically fold; I wish they would.
