Re: A 320D M-Sport that has clocked 190,000 km

Your reaction and suggestions are much appreciated.
I hope the recommendations for the worn rear brake pads and two tires were addressed at the last MOT in December, but there was no mention of suspension problems.

A 320D M-Sport that has clocked 190,000 km

Hello everyone, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me whether this is a decent purchase and what things to look out for.

Re: The temperature of the coolant for the M340D

My apologies, but I really don't care about new automobiles and am financially unable to buy one.
