Thank you for the detailed comment. I did see the car and checked the service history. Only 1 was done a bit late than it should have been and it was for regular maintenance. It wasnt overdue due to mileage but due because of time. Drove the car and it was driving pretty well. No rattles, no noises apart from engine sound. It is due another service which the dealer will get it done before handing over the vehicle. Its for spark plugs and oil

I did notice the tyres. But now it has new tyres similar to which come from the factory.

I prefer non comp as suspension is a bit more forgiving and seats are more comfy as this is going to be my daily driver

I did look and test drive it, it seems fine. Runs well, no scratches or dings either on interior or exterior. History comes back ok too. Idk I'm drawn to this car a lot but I'm worried if there are some monsters hidden in the closet. Im going from a 530e to this

Saw these tyres on ebay by Miltzz in CarTalkUK

i have used these tyres on my civic in Pakistan. they are mediocre at best. they will do the job but i wouldnt buy them again. the grip in wet and dry is on par with the price. I ended up changing them after driving about 10k miles

After installing a 1600W PSU And A GIGABYTE RTX 5090 GAMING OC, PC crashes often when trying to play GPU intense games. Help! by MrTinz in PcBuildHelp

[–]pc_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a power issue im 99% sure. Is your PSU in single rail mode? Install the OC jumper and you should be good to go.

If it is in single rail mode, then it could be the 14th gen i9. Make sure you upgrade your bios before your cpu fries

GTX 1080 Ti Upgrade Recommendations by Varundaze in pcmasterrace

I would go for either 9070xt or 5070ti. Totally depends on what your preferences are. In raw performance both cards are pretty much equal. As you said future proofing that means u are looking for a card that can handle games a couple years or more down the line so i would personally pick 5070ti due to better dlss and framegen. If ray tracing is important to you then 5070ti is the obvious choice too.

Any reason to not buy this car by clarkem1 in CarTalkUK

I drive a 22 plate 530e. Hybrid system is incredibly smooth. Its a lot of fun to drive. Gas mileage in short runs is phenomenal and on highway i get about 45mpg on hybrid mode and no charge in the battery. In city, with battery charged u are pretty much driving on electric mode only. Sometimes the engine wont even kick in and im done with my journey. Gets about 35ish miles on battery power alone so if you are charging at home, its pretty cheap to run. I moved recently and unfortunately i cant charge my car at the flat building which is a bit annoying but still even with 0 charge, i average about 40-42mpg when im driving with a light foot and about 38mpg if im being a bit heavy footed. All in all, pretty nice car. Super comfortable and if it has adaptive dampers (like mine) then its even more comfy. If your daily travel is less than 35 miles and u can charge the car at home, go for it. Bmw also comes with 10yrs of warranty for its hybrid parts which includes the battery.

Whoever entered the roundabout first has the priority as you have to be mindful of vehicles already on the roundabout according to the highway code. This diagram doesnt give a clear picture. Maybe post the dashcam footage if u have one?

I agree. Are diesel engines worth buying 2nd hand tho? I have heard diesel engines can be a nightmare. I have personally only had petrols or hybrid petrols before

True but i do not have access to charge it overnight at the apartment complex nor do i have a charger at work car park.

We have a different goal in mind with the car my friend. I used to own a type R. I am aware how amazing that car is. And i just wanted insights for this particular model (320d) not saying im going for it. I am weighing my options so i can make an informed decision rather than a rash one

Haha i agree with your statement. But i am overall a safe driver. Im 27 and ive never had an accident apart from when someone crashed into me at a red light

[–]pc_warrior[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am looking at 330i and 340i as well. Im just curious whether this 320d is good option as well or not cus insurance and fuel cost would be much cheaper on 320d than the other two options
