Cleaned it, took the front wheels off and gave the front suspension a look over. Have a slight knock somewhere but can’t find anything obvious. Calipers need a lick of paint. They’re much bigger and better looking than the 325 brakes. Also ordered everything for the rear shock replacement thanks...

They’re still working wirelessly just getting a constant charge

As in the ones on the wings?

Seriously? It’s literally a manual button that opens a vent?that is some serious penny pinching

Just a very small update. Only took 5 mins to fit but a lot more space where the phone cradle thing went Part number 51167118064

Still look fine to me mate. If you’re really worried about it can you get your money back? If not just whack them on, can guarantee that’ll all come off

You’ll love it mate. They handle superbly for their size. I bloody loved mine. The arch gap is horrendous as standard though lol

Just surface rust. If you notice when you buy new discs they are in plastic with a kind of oil on them. If they didn’t come like this then they’d be rusted too. Nothing to worry about

Ran a 275 for 2 years as a daily and also loved it. Returned 30-35mpg. It’s not a comfortable ride though. It was a cup chassis mind. My cup 172 was comfier. When pushing on though they’re an absolute weapon. I’d recommend one if you can deal with the tough suspension

A fountain of knowledge! Thanks mate. Yeah I couldn’t understand the paddle function at all initially, made no sense

Nice surprise. I have logic 7 or whatever it is but I’m not overly impressed with it tbh. Have you looked anymore at the auto box flash software?

Was under there anyway cleaning out all the s**t from over the years and gave it a wipe over with microfibre. Plus I found one of them leaking which would’ve been an mot fail

Yes, why?

Phenomenal price on the PE. They’ve discontinued it now which means prices are holding at a decent rate. I may keep my eye out for a second hand one

I had a Megane too. The Megane was much more of a weapon but the bm is a much nicer placer to be, much better drive too.

I’ve looked into a PE but they’re a fortune! The other half’s z4 is n52. I would agree that sounds a bit better but the n53 is definitely the slightly better engine. Thankfully this one has had lots done under warranty, most importantly a whole set of new injectors fitted by Bmw in April 2014.

To do list Wheel refurb New centre caps Paint calipers Detail engine/exterior New stop/start button Refurb steering wheel trim New rear shocks Still really enjoying it. First full tank returned 27mpg though. I was enjoying it a bit too much ?

Few updates for the car 2019 sat Nav disc purchased. It was on the original 2007 disc. Probably won’t use it but nice to have anyway and was only a tenner Purchased a set of mats, from halfords of all places. Really good quality, I’d recommend them and they’re dark grey as opposed to black so...

Yeah it’s a new bootlid required. I’ve priced it up and it’s about £150-£200 for the rear conversion. Not terrible

Facelift rear lights make them look a million times better. I’m orobably gonna upgrade mine

Has he had the e93?

Well done for not sticking black wheels on Looks amazing

I think they look great. Very rare too. I believe they can take a lot more power aswell

Also what spacers are you using? The rear wheels sit horribly on the pre facelift, need to rectify that

Looking good mate. The touring is brilliant as a luggage loader. Mine has new run flats all round (Michelin I believe) and I’ve found them ok. Is the ride noticeably better on standard tyres?

I’ve no idea tbh. I have the n53 engine which is in the facelift anyway

Yeah I looked into this. Do you know much about it? @Sir_Dave mentioned it too

I’m loving it to be honest. I had an e39 3 litre auto before and it was very sluggish. This auto is much more responsive and gear changes are noticeably quicker

It’s always interesting seeing what you’ll buy. Genuinely doesn’t even surprise me what you’ll drive around in?

Depends what you’re looking at. Anywhere from maybe £2500-£8000
