first fail ,today got in 520d E60 2008 car ,had over 100k km ,and with few main dealers stamps .So what we found in air box :rolleyes:
air filter in car still from new with date 17.12.07 and fuel filter ?/?/08
Must of been running like a dream!
Some people buy a car and forget they need to look after it :(
The guy thought ONLY main dealer can do proper service on new cars ,cant imagine what will do tomorrow his friend with same Msport model :rolleyes: He never heard these horrible stories ;)Quote:
