Gave the 335i its first clean since buying it yesterday. Always a slight concern after buying something second hand, you never quite know how much (even more lol) of a turd it is underneath all the polish!! Happily, the car isnt really any worse than i initially thought and the issues is does...

I tried Firestorm the other day as well; one game, then straight back to Breakthrough.

For lack of insurance, he'll probably get 6 points and a fine. The fine will likely be far less than if he'd actually been paying insurance premiums. Tax he'll probably get another fine. MOT, im not sure anyone really cares?

Haha, i sold the N52 330i to @Rob a couple of weeks ago, the N54 335i is my new "main" car :geek: Re: the 325i touring, it will be sold yes, i dont want to break it (due to its rarity), so i had planned on fixing it, then selling it. Probably in a couple of months id imagine. On the flipside...

In the end, with the touring having nav, there was only really going to be one outcome here ... Before: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr During: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr After: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Gotta love BMW "wood" trim haha :love: I did actually buy a CIC for it...

In the 14 years ive been on Cliosport, ive heard alot said about ktec maps - peoples preference to load a TomTom map of Belgium onto their ECU instead, their ability to kill engines & produce eleventy billion horsepowers, but only on their dyno, but never once have i heard about one of their...

Dont they export them to remove the marker as well, then just bring them back over again and voila, no more Cat D? Great article, looks like you'll be getting the press you deserve!!

lol, i think we both know what i was getting at! You, like me, are incapable of leaving anything standard, so dismissing the MLite because its a turd as standard is a bit odd :unsure: Especially considering your current Octavia VRS is boring out the factory, then better when tinkered with, as...

IMHO, they arent particularly great on the road as standard lol. The problem with the MLites is very much what you are coming from. If you are coming from a "normal car" or 120d, 320d or 520d, it'll feel brilliant, lovely engine noise, rocket like speed, comfy cabin, similar ride & handling...

Didnt realise you could get hubcentric that thin!! I take it all back (y)

If you're using this car on track, i wouldnt personally be wanting to use non-hubcentric spacers. Maybe get 10mm hubcentric, or the correct offset wheels in the first place lol.

Re: aux/usb, yes, just remove the current one & replace, simples. Getting the existing hub out is a bit of a pain, but if you youtube it, there is a way through the cup holder cooling vents to probe it out. Exactly this basically. Its great in the summer, if your aircon works :ROFLMAO: I...

Little bit of tinkering in the sun on Saturday ... Having two e9*'s makes for some decent part swopping possibilities! Ignore the change, i didnt find that unfortunately, it fell out my cup holder when i removed the armrest. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr...

I think they just upset me because not only are they replicas, but they are M6 replicas. And its a Z4.

Good tyres make a MASSIVE difference on these. PS4/Supersports are deffo required. I still believe had all the initial road tests been with the RF's, the journalists would have been like "WTF is this thing, it handles like a slippery banana" rather than lauding its praises constantly. Re...

See, Livinglifefast is my guilty pleasure, but i couldnt watch that. Bruv.

I must admit, i would tend to agree. If the car was 3 years old and had that little damage, it would have been fixed, not categorised & the previous owners would never know. Now its old and worth 50p, naturally its been written off, but it doesnt change the amount of damage that has has...

LIttle update after spending most of Saturday afternoon underneath the 335i. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr The cause of the coolant leak? Aging of coolant pipes? Crack in the header tank? Remnants of fluid from the top radiator hose change? Nope. Shoddy workmanship from Shytner...

Assume you havent actually read the thread :ROFLMAO: Look at the last photo, its the stickers that Bifcaids doesnt like lol ...

Re: spoiler, i know what you mean, its higher at the edges than the OEM one, not enough to annoy me though, i just hate the pre-lci rear lights, so until i can LCI ... Front bumper wise, the 335i's has washer jets as standard, irrespective of whether xenons where fitted or not. Odd, but there...

Yup, very early, hence the electric folding mirrors as standard (mega geek mode). Best engine/gearbox combo i reckon. Enjoy it @Rob hopefully a new rear caliper will solve the current problems! Looks mint clean either way :love:

Oh Really :ROFLMAO: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr So, going back a couple of weeks ... i've been looking for a le mans blue e90 335i with a manual box since about September, purely on the basis that i could buy it, swop the plates over & Sarah would never notice :unsure::whistle...

Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr ?

Yes lol. The way i look at it, im not that bothered about a bit of rust (i'll likely facelift it at some point anyway), but any buyer would likely be put off by it and/or question if there was any more hidden away etc (there isnt), so i swopped it out, only took an hour or so. I would have also...

Welcome to BMW Club! Might i suggest a few amendments to your list? In no particular order. Remove car from Midlands Put OEM badge on steering wheel Buy ZHP gearknob Clean leather with Liquid Leather or similar Remove replica wheels, fit OEM ones, i like the BBS 108's Fit decent tyres. FOUR...

lol thanks, i think :ROFLMAO: Yup, same TT, likelyhood of her ever selling it is probably zero :rolleyes: Its a brilliant car in all seriousness, super reliable, quick, lovely looking & well made, for what its now worth, its fairly irreplacable! ? Yes, N52 manual 330i, with xenons. Rocking...

Get payout. Buy car back. Reverse up to tree. Tie rope around tree. Tie other end around clio. Drive forwards slowly. Remove rope. Clio = fixed ? Id certainly be fixing that, especially if its your pride & joy!!

e90 335i, e90 330i, e91 325i, TT 225 and Boxster 981S ? Have always wanted to work from home so that i could buy cars as & when they appeared for sale, instead of having to wait for the weekend. Making the most of it ?

I definitely have issues ? Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Finally found what i've been looking for for 6 months!! Just a tad annoying its AFTER ive bought the touring, plus the parts to fix it ... Le Mans Blue 335i saloon. Manual gearbox. 2 long-term owners. Full BMW service history. Been...

Enough to put me off buying a new/warrantied BMW ever again that was ? Mind you, my local Audi dealer are just as bad. My RS3 was about £300 as well. Absolutely bonkers amount of money, but at £130 an hour or whatever daft figure they charge, it soon adds up! Strangely, the 3 months it took...
