Bootlid fitted, not fully happy with how it's sitting at the moment still messing with it to get it to sit right. It still needs to come in at the bottom, but it's like I've ran out of space to adjust, won't go any further forward. But I shall continue to mess around with it to get it sitting...
So was told when I had the airbag done at BMW by the video health check that the aux belt was cracking so decided to change both of them. Was surprised at how easy it was took only about 30 mins and that was me taking my time ensuring it was all right. The smaller belt looked pretty new as if it...
I've basically got one purchased. Just need to pick it up and get it painted. Looks a good fit which is what I was worried about. You can fit my boot handle but might get the pre facelift one as its smaller.
Could potentially have a csl bootlid purchased. Looks a pretty good replica and everything can be swapped over. Just needs painting. What's people's thoughts....
Been and got the driver side air bag replaced, really happy as he badge always looked rubbish and ruined my retrimmed wheel. Only thing now I'd look to change is the lower wheel trim as that's very tatty.

Got a wireless obd 2 scanner and have an app on the iPad called dashboard gives me loads of information that I'll probably never use but it does look good having it on the iPad lol. Can also read codes and clear them so that's good for the future. Have also managed to reset the service light...
Done another problem that I've had for a while always thought it was dirty sensors or something that needed to be set on the computer due to putting bigger wheels on. But when I checked all my abs sensors to clean them I found the front passenger side had snapped inside. What a nightmare to get...
So took advantage of the euro car parts offer today and done a full service. First time doing one and was relatively easy took me a while as I was just taking my time. But will continue to service and do oil changes myself.
Plugs definitely needed changing.
Cabin filter seen better...
It's a better install than one of those cheap Chinese units tbh. Yes it's annoying to keep taking it out. But it's so good having access to everything on an iPad. I'd recommend anyone to spend the money on this instead of one of those units because I believe this looks better than one of those...
Thank you mate. And that's fair enough didn't expect it to be to most peoples tastes and yeah doesn't look oem but I just love the functions it comes with and I much prefer using an iPad no matter how good the other unit looks just wasn't as functional as what an iPad can be. I'm really happy...
Installed my iPad into the dash. Seriously impressed !!! Over the mood with it. Put the radio in the glove box so it's out the way but can still access it if need be. Sound quality is also much improved due to being a kenwood unit. Really loving it so far looks great inside. So glad I've done...
Yeah there's kits pre made I managed to get one off eBay. I know it's not oem but I'm really looking forward to having an iPad in the car with all its features. Much better than my current unit can't do half as much.
Not sure how many people will approve of this. But I'm swapping my Dynavin unit for an iPad mini mount, I'm fed up of not having access to Spotify on there and google maps. With this I get access to obviously everything on an iPad, such as sky, movies, google maps, Spotify etc. The dynavin was...
Get back from work about to go out and the car won't start. I don't think it's the battery as all the lights come on and the radio but just won't turn over. Anyone have any ideas ?
These mark so much easier than my gold 6 plus. I dropped my 6 so many times and hardly marked it. Dropped this once and it's took a big chunk out and revealed the silver beneath. Wasn't even very high fell off my lap into the floor as I got out the car. Annoyed isn't the word.
Thank you mate. Appreciate that ! This is the only colour I wanted. Would love red interior to go with the grey.
Just put ag wax and rainx seems to have done the trick.
Right got a few tasks that I need doing before the winter comes, which I know isn't far away.
Full inspection 2 service.
Vanos rebuild.
Disa valve rebuild unless everything is okay with the current one.
Replace the gaskets under the coil packs as I believe there's a small leak as I can...
