LOL! I want mine doing. But I would prefer dampers and springs and good setup. The E90 handles so well. even in SE guise it was brilliant.

I am sorry. Point taken.

No, but I have a thing that plugs into the pc and receives the signal. I heard it sucked like that though??

50 of Screwfix's Microfibre cloths. ​I dont even bother washing these anymore. Disposable cloths ftw.

I will be doing, that's £800 a month after I deduct my bills etc. The night before it got detailed I was down Linconshire's back roads at 11pm. Its the first opportunity Ive had to properly open it up. I think its a good engine really, sure its not quick but its no slouch and proved enjoyable...

Ive been tempted to get this for so long but I just dont know. Its the realism factor I cant be bothered with. if I could use it with a controller then id be happy. But This whole steering wheel thing is pretty gay.

Bit harsh. Its not that bad.

Yeah in 3 years Ill have a budget of about £800 a month. So might shoot for a 330i or 335i. Or 4 series...... At 24 a 335 is a bit much to run and would take up the remaining pennies I have left each month. I couldnt afford a 12 plate on a bigger engine so this is my way of driving a nice car...

It is on the sport plus edition which this is. Next time I was it I might take it out somewhere interesting and get some decent pics. ] why lol? Because hard maintenance? Its not my first black...... Cheers all :)

Full machine polish with P1, CQUK, Reload. De-badged..... Pics didnt come out how I wanted as it was so bright and I couldn't see s**t because the sun was reflecting in the paintwork (true story), so I edited them severely.

Re: FRP #160/500 Make sure you get that inner rim wiped properly.

Are there any well known ones which people have used with success. Ive seen people use them with hair dryers I think. Specifically looking for BMW Coral Red.

Re: FRP #160/500 Why whats up with it? Your last one was mint. I bet you wont top it with this one

Re: FRP #160/500 Swirlmarks. ​

Not yet, Monday TBH. They dont have one available. Complete bullshit. The whole BMW experience has been s**t. Dealership couldnt give a f**k if I lived or died, the car has gone wrong already. Utter s**t. If I was 40 Id buy a C class merc. Far superior cars.

Mines in for warranty work already. Steering rack problem. If Im on a mway I cant go straight. I can turn left or right in incremental notches, so have to zig zag. true story. Just got to survive till Monday! and no courtesy car.

Wahey. w**ker

Cheers dood. xx

I used to use Espuma all the time but my wheels looked fucked after 3 years. Now ive got 313's Id like to take care of them. Im not going to go to the effort of C5'ing them just yet but in the mean time Ill top them with Sonax QD post washing. Id like a non acidic or non damaging wheel cleaner...

Bright sunlight is the worst environment possible. Can you invest in a marquee, perhaps one which doesnt have sides on it? Hardly ideal but trust me it will save you a lot of time and a bad result.

Id invest in some Gtechniq P1.

Its my second black car. I should have know better. Alarm bells were ringing but I ignored. This is the only time I like black. - In the first day or so after washing.

Went out this morning. Paintwork is crystal clear having rubbed it down last night with IPA and retoping with reload last night. Should be fine now.

Cheers. I managed OK today aside from that mark on my bonnet. What is your take on Sonax Paint Prep (IPA) being ued to remove the marks? Will it uncover the marring CQUK is hiding?

That was perhaps wrong of me to write that. There are some truly epic shampoos out there. The reason I rate BTBM so highly is because it leaves nothing behind, it will preserve wax finishes (Carbon for example will go 3-4 washes before the beading even thinks about dropping off slightly where...

Doesnt produce enough water behavior for me. But it is frankly the best detailing spray out there if you dont care for water behavior. Such a pleasure to use.

Also I needed to remove a load of marks from the bonnet, I didnt do it for the hell of it! The rest of the car is fine but this is what it looked like. I removed these with Sonax Prep after trying to rub it with reload with no effect. See the left hand side, not the right. They look about twice...

Thanks thats what I wanted to know so long as I wont wake up tomorrow to find its uncovered all the marring and buffer trails ive left like a mong. C2V3 is too expensive - I need a QD for wipedowns and post wash water spots, and the QD will take care of the beading. CQ is only there to stop...

Will Sonax Paint Prep (Basically IPA) remove CQUK atall? Ive read that IPA will barely touch nano sealants.

Dodo juice BTBM is the ONLY shampoo sutable for wax finishes. Gwash is also good but not as good as BTBM. For rubber, I use nano sealants. Thought of investing in a QD like Sonax? That will go over rubber and vynal and s**t
