Hello Guru,

What's your take on having a 2006/2007 BMW 328i or 325i as a first car (daily driver)??

What are the things to look out for in terms of maintenance or inherent problems with this model/brand?

Thanks for your anticipated response

Generally l bmw are expensive to maintain and there parts are expensive.

They require specialists hence repair fee are high
They don't age well.

Would advise you to stay clear of it as a first car.

Look for something sporty in the Toyota or Honda line up. You would be fine.

IT is an old car, sell it And buy something else. Whenever you start noticing repeated issues on a car, that is the best time to sell it.

Most cars become a nightmare after a particular mileage
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Greatwhales: 8:03pm On Mar 21, 2019
2007 an old car, even in developed countries cars of previous years are still on the road. I guess the issue is getting genuine parts.
Thanks anyway

Do u drive on empty tank most of the time?;if yes that could be a probable cause. Ensure ur tank it never below half mark on ur gauage and see if there's an improvement.

Please motor guru
I noticed whenever I'm driving my car(Mercedes benz c200 kompressor), sometimes the gear selects fine but at times it just won't select or change, it will just remain in one selection until I put off the engine and restart the car again... And sometimes it won't just move just fine, but as if, it's been forced to move.

Please I need your assistance.

Your gearbox harness connector pin socket is bad. the seal(o-ring) has been compromised allowing oil to soak it.
Replace o-ring , clean and check. if same symptoms replace connector.

it is to prevent corrosion to the aluminium components of your cooling system, allow the engine run at a hotter temperature without the coolant boiling, prevent calcification due to hard water, and giving longer life to your water pump/thermostat.
