you can get some really good advice, usually!
now, on the subject of 320d's lol, my old man has just bought one yesterday, but wont pick it up for another week or so.
now, its a 59 plate or maybe 09 320d, with about 8k miles on it.
will it have those flap things and crap breather on it, or have bmw changed the engine spec accordingly?
cheers lads
as far as i know your dads will be fine, i think they are dodgy up until the 06 plates, (new model) theres an ebay listing for the blanks that has a bit of detail on the subject, will look it out for you. Saying that i think they were talking about the flaps dont know about the breather. If its not on there, phone the service guys at one of the BMW garages, they are usually pretty helpful. Breathers a peice of piss to change, sits right ontop of the rocker cover. Swirl flaps need to take the inlet off and spin it upside down to take em out, (dont dropand screws down the cylinder head inlets now!!!!)
