Hello everybody I'm new to the world of bmw as this is my first one. Let's see I picked the car up this past saturdayfor 2g's. Its a little rough around the edges with some surface rust here and there but its all good. Just picked up a set of bosch iridium plugs and an oil filter so I plan to do some maintenance tomorrow. Also the car has troulbe idling when I first start her up so I gotta look into that but for the most part she's pretty solid.

Howdy!   welcome, enjoy the ride, and remember 2 simple words- vacuum leak-   9/10's of your problems are probably due to these
