I've just gone from 6.1.3 to Beta 6 and i've not noticed any change in battery. My phone has been off charge since 6am today, has had a lot of usage all day and is now on 21%...
LOL! Just to be clear, that's my mate in the photo and not me, and by coincidence his nickname is Mop ;)
He doesn't care about the long term paint protection as he regularly diverts down green lanes and scratches up his paint, and it didn't even take that long to go over it with the DA (not...
I used it on my mates Land Rover, as he just wanted to see if it would be any better than it was.
You can see how it did on the rear quarter compared to the door (Rear quarter was the only panel done in the photo)
And the rest of the car done:
You can get legal pressed plates however the police don't like them as so may try and fine you for them even if they are legal. Lots of people end up taking them off because it's not worth the hassle of arguing with the police.
Looks like a nice first car mate! I had a 1.2 like that myself :)
I'd recommend getting a new steering wheel for it, yours looks like its melted to hell haha! It's a common problem on Clios unfortunately...
Interior - A lot nicer than the Clios, everything feels well build and is pretty comfy to sit in. You do feel a lot lower down in the BMW compared to the clios so that automatically makes it feel a bit sportier.
Economy - I get around 42mpg at the moment but I don't do any motorway driving on...
Picked them up on Tuesday and the Tyres came through on Thurs and Fri, so this morning I got them put on! So much nicer to drive on straight, non-buckled wheels haha!
Onto the pics! (They're only crappy iPhone ones as it's started raining and i didn't want to be outside)
Yeah they tend to go missing when people get them refurbished because the stickers are hard to get hold of if you don't know where to look, so they just get left blank. There's a company which actually supplied them to BMW and sell them for like £10 a set.
The guy I bought these from bought...
Theyre actually 216's, I messed up in my previous post :P I picked them up just now so as soon as I get some decent tyres on them they'll be goin on the car. Hopefully this weekend or early next week.
They are pretty tunable, it just depends on how much you want to do it by. Some people have been able to get to 270bhp from just a remap, most people tend to go for around 240-250bhp from what I've heard.
I'm picking up the wheels in a few hours so might have to put them on later :p
Semi-update! I Just bought some new wheels, picking them up on Tuesday!
It's a set of BMW 261 alloys in 1 Series fitment (They've got a higher offset than the 3 Series ones).
Can't wait to get them on the car! My current ones are buckled to buggery! (Not my fault, they've been quite bad...
Thanks mate.
There's a guy selling a set actually but I don't fancy having to purposely stretch my tyres to avoid rubbing issues.
Did you ever get yours back in the end mate?
Thanks mate
Only reason I want to change them is because they are buckled and curbed to crap haha! (Previous owner did it and i've not gotten round to changing them). Front left is the worst and has about 200g worth of weights on it haha. Need to replace the whole set and was thinking of...
Right! Been quite a while since i've done any updates to the car! But finally i've done something! I got myself a set of genuine BMW black grills.
I've not improved my skills with a camera so bare with me ;) If anything i've lost what little skill I did have... anyway!
Next...
I'm probably gonna do it to mine, just waiting for a pair to come up on eBay that aren't stupidly priced. I know I only have a 2.0 diesel, but I have 2 turbos too ;)
