Nish’s F30 320i M Sport

[unobeat]

Hi, Since I also own a 2018 320i M Sport.


Coolant Pipe to engine block replacement. Factory recall on this.

Oil pipe connected to the turbo, faulty seal.
This was recalled in USA but not in South Africa. Check with your phone and light for leaks.

Other issues are control arms that wear out early and oil cooler leaks because it is plastic.

Gearbox service if you can.
Oil change intervals at 10 000km not based on the computer. You might get low oil warning. Oil gets thin toward service intervals and burns out.

5.6 litres per 100km is possible!!!

That is impressive fuel consumption.
Thumbs up for sharing detailed useable information about F30 320i

Think I may have spoke a bit too soon regarding being problem free.

This morning on my way to work, I noticed a hissing sound from the car. When I got to my office, I noticed there was a slight bump on the side wall of my front driver's side tire.

Its not that big of a bubble, but with things like this, its best to get them replaced early before we end up having regrets at a later stage. The sad part is that these tires have done less than 6000kms and there's plenty of thread left, but we gotta do what we gotta do I guess.

I had that happen to me after hitting a pot hole on my way down with my move and after having to replace the left front tire. both fronts were new so only replaced the one. Only realised the back left had a bubble some time after arriving in Cape Town. Had to replace both rears, but fortunately they were not far from the mark

Keep the good ones as emergency spares.
