320d’s broken down

planemad · 10-25-2017, 11:42 AM

Never seen this before (or not noticed it).

Spend quite a bit of time on the road network and this week already I have seen 3 320d’s that have broken down by the side of the road on the hard shoulder.
All 62 and 13 plate units.

Are you sure they weren't just relieving themselves at the side of the road?

It's those overworked 4 cylinders.... 6 pots don't have this issue.....

Must be an F3x thing .. my 11 year old E90 320d that's remapped and thrashed regularly to the rev limiter has NEVER missed a beat.
It's on it's original steering rack too

That would be it as drivers do not have to visit Service Areas to refuel and use the facilities at the same time!!

Maybe its due to the N47 timing chain issue?
