BMW 3-Series Convertible 2007

Has anyone had failure of fuel injectors and NOx sensor in their 330i 2007 convertible? Mine has just had failure of two injectors at 34,000 miles, but all six had to be replaced as new injectors are not compatible with original ones. It seems a major problem to have at this age and mileage. Anyone with similar experience? (330i)

Answers

I am on my third Nitox sensor. I bought the car new in 2007 and have only done 38,000 miles. I am amazed - David from Berkshire

When do I need to change the cam belt on my BMW 116i SE (current mileage: 32,500)?

Answers

You don’t need to change your cambelt cos your car doesn’t have one. BMW don’t use cambelts, they use cam chains which are far more durable. The chain should last the life of the engine - Alan Johnstone from England

BMW 3-Series Coupe 2010

Hi. I am thinking of buying the new BMW 3-series coupe.Tthe 320 hopefully but I am not sure which to go for, the diesel or the petrol. Any advice people? 320i SE or 320d SE.

Answers

Not easily answered this one as everyone is different in what you expect from a car and its performance etc. The petrol version is probably cheaper to buy and service and will be quieter to drive but not as economical. If you enjoy really gunning your car and revving it highly then the petrol one will be your natural choice. The diesel one however is more suited to someone who wants to drive more lazily but instant oomph in any gear when called upon. This will feel quicker than the petrol and give you far superior mpg in the process. The BMW diesels are also very refined so you do not get as much clatter as most deisels. You need to weigh up that the mileage you do outweighs the price difference. Personally I would plump for the diesel version as it will be easier to sell on with todays current oil prices and will feel quicker 90% of the time if that is important to you - Paul Harrison from Bedfordshire
