I do at the moment yeah, but there is apparently some funky chinese adapter that will allow me to mirror it to the screen - might be a future upgrade perhaps ? What about you, through the phone, or via Cartplay of some sort?

I dont use the Nav ever!! Waze is my preference. On that basis, the iDrive dial (& Audis latest controller as per my old RS3) is far better than touch sceen, i find it actually quite difficult to choose things in the Porsche as you drove down the road; either your finger misses the right button...

Thing is, you could get 20-23% off these things new if you simply went on BabyBMW or Pistonheads, so its not surprising the 2nd values have taken a pounding! If you paid retail, you're pretty much a numpty. This whole thing acts as a reminder to always research a purchase thoroughly ? Plenty...

Finally. https://shop.renaultsport.com/RSperformance/r-s-performance-bodykit-for-clio-iv-r-s-rspbkrsc200220.html

lol. Sad times. You want PS4 then. Just fitted another set to Sarah's TT (its had nothing but Pilot Sports for the past 10 years). I'd wager that on the road they are probably just about as good, with more than likely slightly better wet weather performance. Wont be as good on track, or in super...

Unless they are brand new, they are absolute turd; its what the RS3 came on when i bought it. Swop them out & the car will be transformed. On anything high powered/RWD, there is no reason not to fit PS4S these days.

I found my M135i fine in the wet, you just drive to the conditions as per any other car, well barring the RS3, irrespective of the conditions that thing was ballistic lol ... on the flipside, i found the MPSS to be absolutely useless in the greasy conditions post rain. Actual water on the ground...

The wheels are epic. The arch gap is less so. Please fix it before a small family of hedgehogs get lost in there.

Now that. Is cool.

Not gonna lie, i wouldnt put my wife in that thing, let alone my kids, if i had any. Ignoring the fact that its not really my scene, surely compared to modern machinery, its not particularly safe?

Well, one of my cup holders is slightly broken, so when they do eventually get replaced it would be rude not to upgrade ... ? Am really pleased with the changes though, as @Christopher says, the iDrive etc really makes the interior feel more modern!

You can turn off the rev matching on the M2 using Bimmercode @MarkCup : https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1418405 Will be the same (or similar) in the M140i im sure.

Cheers to all! Has been a decent amount of work, but the final piece of the jigsaw came today ... Some before & afters: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Completed look. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on...

Feel free! Tbh, before i got into it, it seemed "a bit much" but honestly, with the guides available, its fairly easy. Being the person that does the initial investigation to write the guides? Nah, im good thanks ? Re: screws, im a bit OCD, so tape them to whatever part/hole they come out of...

So this happened. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Back in 2008, a chap called "Booster4075" created a mammoth thread on how to retrofit CCC. He then created a nice little PDF which i followed for the dash removal etc...

From my understanding, and having driven/owned pretty much every BMW produced in the past 30 years, the manual BMW gearbox has felt the same since about 1983. Probably before then as well. That's just how it is. Floor hinged pedals are the correct choice btw, perfect for heel & toe! Anything...

I did tell @MarkCup to try the e90 M3 that James Paul also had in stock, but he likes "boost" too much these days! They even had one the same spec as my old one, so he'd still have bought a black car with red leather ?

@MarkCup they are pretty small cars i think. To compare, my friend ollie had a fiesta st when i had my M135i ... Also compared to the e46: On the flipside, how tiny is Sarah’s mk1 TT compared to more modern cars!! That beetle lol.

Be interesting to see how long it lasts at that level of tune lol. Must have ALL of the boost ?

Mine was a manual ? Needed a diff & decent suspension soooooo badly. Will have another though, when they get to sub £12k and i realise i cant afford a F80 M3 lol As mad as it sounds, i saw a chap on Saturday turn up for an MOT with a can of Stella in his hand and a parrot on his shoulder...

Has it got runflats on it Mark? Get them swapped out for the SuperSport/MP4S if so ... will help a decent amount with grip. Especially with the LSD ? Nice decision BTW, spec is epic, which id bought Jeff's now, could have been black/red M135i fwends ..

Yes, lots of options available if you have the double scoop screen to fit it all into. Will deffo do that first, then assess what i want to fit in "all the holes" ? Re: the M135i ... I saw it for sale yesterday actually ... instantly thought "i recognise that car" ?

It doesnt actually look that hard (famous last words!), 5 bolts holding it in, but lots of ancillaries that need to come off. 3 hours work apparently ... ? I want to fit OEM bluetooth, so considered just getting the unit that GrahamS has, but realistically speaking (unlike @Jeff simply), i hate...

No lol, have priced up all the other odds & sods i need to fit them though, top mounts, bushes etc etc, about £200 worth from BMW. Useful info about the DAB, ill have to look into whether the BMW Diversity antenna is a must, or if aftermarket amplified will do instead. Bugger me about the...

Never one to stop buying things that i dont really need ... facelift climate control panel with the chrome knobs instead of black plastic ... Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Minor change, but i think it ties in better with the rest of the dash, especially if...

@MarkCup will be interesting to see what you think of the RS3 when you drive it ... I'd be getting rid of the FRS now to be fair. Nothing worse than having a car that has to visit the main dealers all the time. Especially when they are 97% staffed by muppets. I know this all too well from buying...

Always good to catch up with everyone!! Thanks for organising Tim :)

Ill be there for about 10 ish also.

Well, when you posted that, on August 5th, i was walking the Great Wall of China!! But today i've been out for a drive, just prevaricating really, i should be working lol. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Realistically speaking, i need to consider selling it. Its only done 2k miles in it in...
