2 Series Gran tourer

Hi All,

I'm looking into the above motor for family duties and going for a test drive next week and will see how the figures pan out on PCP.
I've asked another dealer to provide some figures so I can get best possible deal.

Does anyone know what sort of discount is achievable on this specific model, as far as I remember on most of the BMW 20-22% is possible but as this is relatively a new model I'm unsure.

If you know any dealer or contact whos straight down to business in this regard then please let me know.

Many thanks

lower control arms E92

question for those of you who have done this... had car in dealership for oil change and they told me one of my radius rod bushings was leaking fluid, obviously they wanted a good chunk of change to do the repair. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to do this myself. Question for you all... if I just order the part numbers listed here

Do those come with the bushings or do those need to be purchased separately and pressed in? I would assume with bushings, but I see that the bushings are also available separately.

thanks!

325i N53 rotten egg smell and black smoke

Hi folks,

So my brother decided to have a drive of my e92 325i with N53 engine with 120k on the clock full BMW service history, me following him in his VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI (that has no relevance at all, but just in case you were interested). So he decides to overtake on a stretch of dual carriageway, obviously flooring it (which took off nicely, as the car is driving completely fine) But I notice a puff of dark smoke out the back of the exhaust as he starts to pull away on WOT, followed by a god awful stench of rotten eggs engulfing me.

So i'm really no expert, but I was always under the impression this smell could be due to the Catalytic converters coming to the end of their life span. So I guess i'm just asking for a bit of advice on:

1 - Could this smell be due to the cats?
2 - If so could the fact that the cats are on their way out lead to the puff of dark smoke?
3 - Any idea on pricing for getting these parts changed?
4 - I'm assuming the car has more than 1 cat, and if this is the case do they all need replacing or is there a way to diagnose if one is particular is defective?
5 - I may be completely wrong and one of you guys knows better???

Apologies in advance if I sound a little clueless, as I say i'm learning more about our cars every day thanks to this brilliant forum, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wrapping Interior Trim

Wrapping Interior Trim

---

Been looking through interior trim ideas for e92's and alcantara really pops out at me and I have ordered some from guff. What would be the best adhesive to use to apply the material as it's not a vinyl wrap like the common CF?
I have read that 3m adhesive worked for someone else but I'm trying to find the best possible approach to making it stick.
