Are M and non-M bumpers not the same in terms of exhaust position? That seems odd to me! Might just take it to top gear in Stockport and tell them to make it fit tbh. I've got no hope of sorting that out!
I'm at a loss where to even start trying to make this exhaust straight. It needs to move towards the drivers side to fit in the rear bumper, but it's resting firmly against the diff carrier/subframe. Might just have it chopped and welded to make it fit properly, seems like the easiest option tbh.
Perhaps. I need to check it over properly, I've not really investigated as I've not had any issues other than the OBC throwing up an error.
Lol, I think I'll do it properly. Bonus of having a daily is being able to take time to do stuff properly.
Yup. It's never moved. Might try bleeding it, but the temperature gauge never moves from half way, and I can't see any evidence of any leaks.. Pain in the arse!
That's flipping handy to know thanks!
I think it's actually against the subframe, so I'm going to have to bend it somehow. Need to take a better look at it tbh. It's odd, because it's pressed against the other side of the bumper, so it's like they've not bent it enough when it was made...
I know someone with a code reader yeah...
Yeah, something like that. Jon.G and another friend have had their 3-series set up there so can vouch for their work - they know what they're doing! I imagine that'll be because they can't fit the alignment gear onto the wheel. Raise it up a bit ;)
I think if you just want the toe adjustments...
Literally everything was seized. They had to use heat on everything! Used these guys: http://www.drurylaneservices.com/ Can't recommend them enough - did a fantastic job tbh. If nothing's seized it'll only be around £140, but mine was considerably more due to taking so much time!
Small update:
I've raised the front end - I liked the way it looked, but ultimately it drove like s**t. (sits ever so slightly lower than this on a level road)
Took it for a geometry setup, was surprised how bad the rear end was considering I'd not touched it and I've not slid it into a...

Will be on the phone to BMW in the morning. As said, looking forward to seeing your progress this weekend! Interested to see the weight of mine when it arrives, supposedly had the same work done as yours. We'll see...
Mines a wide one for fat guys. I'm not fat, but my god is it comfy!
Also, I'm 6 foot and I'm struggling to see over the steering wheel. Properly low. Kinda love it.
Couldn't quite believe how much the leather seats weigh. It's ridiculous! No point in waiting, I'm not going to benefit in any way - not a daily anymore.
It's too wide. It didn't occur to me that DriftWorks might not have accommodated wider based seats with their mounts, so I've got some chopping to do. Also triggered the airbag light, so that's going to need sorting. FML. Looks good though.
Not a f**king clue. Think they've got a 14mm head, but no idea other than that! Perhaps better off asking Jord/someone who knows what they're doing. LOL!
The throttle butterfly/cable that's controlled by traction control (there's two throttle bodies on ASC equipped cars). If you turn on your car and pull the cable, the ASC light comes on and stays on so there's a good chance it's related!
It's covered in mud, it'll be reet. As said it gets me to work. My commute is approx 20 minutes doing 30mph and 40 minutes sat in traffic. It's going to save me a s**t load. Even taking insurance/tax into consideration.
