BMW 530, 2005, Heinola

A good and reliable BMW for daily use, with a working air conditioning system, panoramic roof and the best engine, the M57, plus an automatic gearbox that shifts smoothly.

This vehicle is no longer new or perfect, so let's start with the faults.

• There is a knocking noise from the rear/drive shaft area while driving. The propshaft has been replaced with a good, play-free one and the centre bearing renewed, so the noise is not coming from there.

• One parking sensor is not working

• The radio works intermittently (usually not), but I have used an FM transmitter and it works well through that.

• The remaining faults are cosmetic. A dent in the boot lid and in the front wing on the passenger side.

• Used for inspection on 25.09.2026; it failed due to the rear tyres not having sufficient load rating.

The car still has its emissions equipment in place and has not been remapped.

The car has a JOM suspension kit, about a year old, and this has also been registered as a modification.

Haxer 20-inch wheels with tyres driven about 3,000 km.

For winter, original wheels with poor studless tyres; these do not have enough tread for inspection, so it needs e.g. new winter wheels to pass.

Last year, many control arms and drop links were replaced for inspection, and the front wheel bearings were replaced.

Last winter, the water valves, auxiliary water pump and thermostats were replaced.

Oil has been changed regularly, last time 1,000 km ago

The air filter and fuel filter were replaced at the same time.

New front brake pads just fitted.
