It took me nearly 9 months of looking at Golfs, before I found one that I was happy with, I nearly bought two others, but I walked away as I knew that in my heart they werent as good as they could have been and it would have niggled away at me once I had parted with the cash...

Re: finding a clean beemer
Thats not the one with the dodgy turbo that spins up and blows the engine is it?
Personally,having owned a few interesting cars over the years,I wouldnt bother now.Car is now for getting from A to B in reasonable comfort and economy.I get on the Kwacker for my "extras".

Why buy a car that has what looks like a known, well documented problem on it... especially when from looknig at Autotrader they look over priced for what they are as well... |

Re: finding a clean beemer
I believe (but I couldn't bet money on it!) that specific problem my car suffered was solved with a new ECU map and a new Garrett turbo on 150bhp cars built from Nov 2003 (mine was registered in October). The new shape 2.0d cars are 163bhp and I would hope that problem is fixed. I still wouldn't buy another BMW because of all the other build quality issues I had and the terrible customer service from BMW dealers and I don't just say that because of just dealings with the turbo failure, it was terrible for routine servicing from the day I bought the car.
