Welcome bro @IbanSurprise - the W205 is a fantastic car. Are you planning any mods or upgrades?

thanks @snsd555. i think i may use the stock config for a few months initially and see how it goes from there.

I saw some issues online like ISM and steering lock that may affect this w205. will it be a costly fix? and if u guys have a few reputable workshops to visit? appreciate it.

Welcome @Kent, what BMW did you use to own? The newer ones are problematic indeed.

Enjoy your stay here!

Used to own a E90 325i and a F07 535gt...all probs start to come on the 8th yr... especially DME

I think these only affected the earlier model years, which year is yours? IIRC, cost to fix is about 1-2k if it really goes wrong.

mine is a 2015 model.

can i check if there is a reverse sensor sound on a c180? it seems to be heard only when the car is really close objects
