So then, three days, later, I'd booked to go the lakes with the mrs. With the state of my hangover, I couldn't manage to wash the car myself in these three days, so the day before heading off, I popped to the local bos-wash (sorry detailers): Loaded the car up with enough luggage for a...

So, this is going to be one fucker of an update. I'll split it into two parts. Firstly, the reason I bought the car, I'd booked to go to Bruges with 5 mates. Two live in mainland europe, so would be making their own way, but I needed to drive four, as between us, no one had a suitable car. Mate...

What isn’t a random night? It’s a meet, not a rave!

Last night I got good and pissed and bought these whilst in the Uber on the way home. Ffs.

Ta duck, might have them!

The offending item: The tools (+ a DA6 Polisher in the end as the ghosting was immense): The remains: The result: Happy now?

Blimey mate, that's really not that bad! I'd just leave that alone, as it'll only make it look worse, not better!

As Dave says, he's already done all the hard work, I just need to run the cable itself! Have you considered going for your "ipad" option, but swapping the dash top? Sort of like a hybrid. So you get the simplicity of wiring, but it integrated into the dash? Does anyone do an android screen...

I was hungover as s**t yesterday, or I'd have cracked on. I'm a bit scared of what remains it'll leave also. It'll get done this week, fear not. I kinda like the 330i badge, so I may just swap the 5? :unsure: It needs boot badge, new centre caps, and a bloody good polish on the outside. Polish...

Sterling work, I was looking at this yesterday on the 330, Can I yank the single aux input out, make the hole bigger, and fit the aux and USB that's floating around?? Also, do you know what the little switch does in the arm rest? Has 1 and 0 on it?

Good work, that is a really nice spec. Sports seats, nav, multi function steering wheel, good stuff!

I thought the same, I even said to Dave about trading as he seemed to love these weird seats.. But my god they’re comfy, and the heated element gets super hot, and they’ve worn far better than leather would after 14 years and 130k miles

Stonking hangover today but I got a few bits done... First of all the boot button was properly manky and split, found one on eBay local, £15 later, much better: Before: After: Then I moved onto the inside, old gear knob: Yanked that off, got the new one on, The gaitor needs a bit...

@MarkCup I hope you took the three ‘good’ tyres with you home from the tyre shop? With all your number crunching, surely punting them on (either via forum or via eBay) is worth an easy £150?

I think he means the phone is lying, not you ?

Thanks mate, Dave found it.. I just bought it off him! It drives bloody lovely though, it’s like a big z4

Extremely on both fronts, if you get an early one the engine is generally more reliable and the timing chain is at the front so even if it goes bang it’s not so bad to fix. In terms of easy to fix, it’s basically the same as my z4, which I did lots to and found very simple. Parts are very...

Yeah basically my point was as above. Why are there two prices for the same product? Could you argue it retrospectively? I bet not.

There is indeed, but they’re c***s. You have to go online and get the price. And ask for it. Or they just don’t give you it

A classic ‘watch this’ moment?

Was linked to your cutters thread a long time ago, very interesting! Hope to see you on board soon!

So, as is tradition, things have been bought. First, a bit more diagnosis as to what the whirring was.. New rear caliper to solve the sticking: Fitted. Fixed. It was just binding a smidge. Then, I simply couldn’t get on with the shape of the gearknob, very flat on top, harsh angles? Almost...

Sorry dude, rear trailing arm bushes. I had a clonk when swinging from side to side. They are quite rare to go I think, but it'd done nearly 150k. I would advise against ever changing them unless you need to! As for the fronts, if you want to improve it 10 fold, I'd just buy and fit this...

XS is now at 95%. Release day phone. But I do abuse it, it gets used massively as a hotspot etc.

It looks good there mate! Much better than the advert pics! What bushes have you ordered? For the front, standard meylee HD lollipops are fine (IME). Ant and I changed my RTAB’s for Powerflex, but it’s a real prick of a job and shouldn’t be necessary at your miles. Thanks for tagging me, you...

Superb update Jord. Loving the bracket design and fabrication, very slick (especially the steering wheel). Cracking!

Got any pics? I'd consider using some solvent to get all the sticky off and just be left with silver, before you go mental and try to remove it all.

Loving the beast of an intercooler! Very nice indeed. I, like you, came to the conclusion that BMW servicing is utterly pointless. In my head you got something for your money, but when I took the 650i in for an oil service (it had fbmw history), I was certain I'd never bother again. Just a few...

Spent a whole day faffing with a mates Golf GTI front suspension, e90 relegated to the street. Looked nice mind you:

Good work. I did the same on my z4, I may do the same on the new 330.. I don’t get the point of the ‘sealed for life’ approach
