Re: In search of a 520d

If you want advice on which 20d engine to use, the members will be able to help you out if you tell them the year and model designation or provide the engine code.

Greetings everyone,

The ever-deteriorating condition of our roads is causing my wife's automobile (and my wife) to get battered around.


The 2013 Mini Cooper Bayswater, which she owns, has 205/45 R17 tires mounted on it. The license plate is probably R56. The roads made an already difficult trip ...
