That be my 182 Chris!
Mark - Absolutely nothing to hide mate. Not so much as a scratch on the interior, much better wearing than my 182 which only has 33k on the clock.
Thanks for the feedback - I will let him know that he needs some full car shots to alleviate any doubts about hiden damage...
Housemate is selling his mint Lupo Gti due to buying a 330D for motorway use..... Will be a shame to see it go and I know if he could afford it, he would keep the Lupo tucked up in the garage for the weekend.:cool:
Not a swirl mark in sight, makes my 182 look like a right state when their...
Aux belt should have been done on the 3yr/36k service, then 4yr/48k is just a normal service and then the 5yr/72k is the cambelt.
Check to see if the aux belt was changed last year, if not worth getting it done imo.
bb - you car looks sweet as it is now mate!
I think its hard to beat the look of super clean silver wheels, having said that with the black wheels it draws your attention more towards the body and sets the red off lovely.
Tough choice mate..
Wow, some annoying probs there guys!
Only got a little rattle in the dash sometimes and need to get one wheel refurbed.
Apart from that, it's all good.
I removed all the standard CAF and acoustic valve, and used a samco bend and some 80mm CAF from ebay.
Relatively easy to fit (and i'm s**t at car mechanics!), only prob was persuading the CAF to fit past the back of the headlight....ran mine down so it rests on top of the horns in the...
Photos look lush Andy, am deffo going to join you on the next meet - was gonna try and come along to this one but was away on the wkend.
You've done some nice touches since i saw the trophy (not least replace the splitter. lol)
Have you tried Diamond Andy?
My gf had a crash, lost her 2 yrs NCB with Tesco - who then quoted that come renewal time her premium would rise by 40% - so we tried Diamond, who with no NCB and the fault claim declared were cheaper than Tesco before she'd made the claim and with her 2 yrs NCB...
Ran mine without a CAF for a while, sounded horrible though!
Mine needed 80mm CAF.
Has anybody else experienced stuttering at low revs since fitting?..... i.e doing 30mph in 4th so revs under 2k, then put your foot down and my car seems to kangaroo/lurch up the road until the revs rise over...
Seen now i run my BMC without a CAF to begin with, sounded far to loud (and quite s**t) and had no go at low revs - almost like the engine was taking in too much air(?), but with the CAF it has quieted down and feels much more torquey through low-medium revs. Just my experience tho.
Have seen that link a few times before....
Have heard that the ex-demonstator m3's in Cardiff BMW always felt faster than carefully run in customer cars having been hammered from new.
I got quoted £500+ from 3 off the muppet dealers round here.
As a guide, Rentech in Portsmouth quoted £275-375 depending on whether they replaced just the aux belt or the belt and tensioners etc. Thats for the 36k service + belt change btw.
