Hello Nigella,hope you are enjoying your new car.

I also own a 320i,though it is a little older than yours (L reg),it is a great car and mine is currently reading 180000+ miles and yet it is still smooth and ultra reliable.

I don't main dealer service it though anymore,stopped it at 160k,I now get my servicing at Moseley Motorsport in Telford, Shropshire.

Sorry this post isn't full of technical doom and gloom,but in my experience I havn't had any.The worst and costliest job has been replacing the rear brake pipes as this involves alot of stripping to get at them.

Best of luck and enjoy.
