Re: Help!!! 4.8is self levelling suspension inactive.

Thanks Kena. I did notice the other day the front drivers side corner was lower but unlocked the car and it all lifted up again, so perhaps its a similar problem. Am glad I got the 2 years warrenty in part of the deal when I bought it if thats the case lol.

Thanks for the info

Re: smoke from my 2005 E53 3.0i any advice please

I had this problem on my e46 330, had the milky crud in the filler cap too. So had a panic thinking it was a head gasket but turns out because I was only doing short journeys condensation was building up in the rocker cover and exhaust. Got told to take it for a long drive and check the oil cap ...

Re: Soon to be 4.8is owner.

I will have to learn how to use the sat nav system as my 330 now doesnt have it, am sure it wont take long to get used to. I will have a look for the equaliser thing on there though.

Just want it now lol I am so impatient.
