Bought another one.... BMW 330i (E92) M Sport Coupe. 2010 with 66K on the clock.  :)

Nice one.  :y  I had a few E92’s, in both 335d/330d and 330i guise and loved them.  :y  We liked them so much that we even had ‘his and hers’ E92’s at the same time, with hers being the petrol as she didn’t do the miles that I did. They sit on the road nicely and handle really well when pushed. I was sad to see the last one go but we moved on to the 4 series coupe.

I know it’s a terrible photo of my last E92 330d, but I didn’t take many photos of them back then.  ::)
Hope yours serves you well.  :y

Lovely car! I wanted a petrol non-turbo car for the simpler mechanicals, never owned a coupe before and thought I'd better correct that!

Had all 4 alloys on the merc refurbed.  they were in a disgusting state from a previous refurb before I bought it, and some werent holding air very well.
Stripped, tidied, primed and sprayed.  very happy.  Were diamond cut previously, but opted for a more long lasting repair.

Popped a new thermostat on the kids corsa as drove that one day when mine was out of action to find it wouldnt get to temp.  lovely now.

Put some coolant in the project corsa to see how it heated up with more than just water, and didnt seem to overpressurise.  other than replacing stat, coolant flange and one hose....it may be all required.  not the HG the RAC diagnosed.   not that I mind either way, was got to get my hands dirty on.

Worth checking that the fan(s) work as they should. Overheating Bini was simply that.
