Does the older BMW 3 Series have an oil leak issue?

Hi,

I am looking at buying a 2007 BMW 320i Coupé (Manual) or a 2007 BMW 320i SE Coupé (Automatic). Both have 44,000 miles on the clock. My old car, a 2002 BMW 318Ci eventually gave up due to the engine leaking oil constantly. A mechanic friend of mine has advised against buying another 3 Series as he says this oil problem is an ongoing fault with the model. I would be interested in knowing if such is the case?

Thanks,

Denis, Dublin

What causes suspension clunks in the Renault Laguna?

Our 2005 Renault Laguna recently passed the NCT (first time surpisingly enough for a Renault!). About a month after the NCT the suspension on the rear passenger side started making clunk/rattle noises going over potholes and bumpy roads - what is the main cause of rear suspension noise in Lagunas?

My BMW 525i is overheating; help!

My 2001 BMW 525i is overheating slightly lately (needle goes to 3/4). Especially when I go down steep slants. Then moves back again after a few minutes. The fan has been replaced, two years ago. Any ideas?

Thanks
