Budgie, Nick172Cup - as mentioned the other day...

Had the m3 about 3 months now and absolutely love it. Best car by far I've ever owned. Picked it up from Luton from a really nice bloke who clearly looked after it. He only did 2k in 3 years and just used it for the occasional weekend blast. With it being an individual it was very well specced...
So the old man chopped in his old 640d:
For a brand new one...
Apologies for the rather dire pics, weather wasn't great and I only had an iPhone.
Spec wise it has:
20" wheels
Sunroof
Web browser
Soft close doors
Heated seats
Lumbar support
Ceramic finish controls (an absolute must)...
Had this booked in late last night for a new car protection I offer.
Products used:
Bilberry
Megs AC
Optimal Car Car' "iron-x" equivalent (stinky stuff Mike!!)
Autobrite Superfoam
Kleenfreaks Shampoo (best smelling product on the market IMO :cool: )
AG Detailer
3M Claybar
PBs Blackhole...
I am partial to an estate car so I picked this up a couple of weeks back (september 11th) from the BMW Ireland forums and had to rush down the road when i noticed a fair few were getting internested on the forums. Its is pretty decent condition bodywork and mechanical wise and is running well...
So I've had this for just short of a year now, I really love it. I know not that many people are that keen on compacts, but I'm enjoying this car a lot.
Done a few things, which people may not be all that keen on but:
Plastidipped the front grills, front lower bumper, and the rear bumper...
Basically, I own an E53 54 plate X5.
Problem is, over the last year I've lost sound from 3 of the 4 door speakers. I've done a search on Google and it comes back as being an amp fault (BM54). Any idea how big a job it is to find, remove, refurbish and refit?
Tbh, the OE speakers are terrible...

Only took a few pictures, impressed with the results though. Not fully corrected or anything, wasn't my intention. Just wanted to see how it would go.
Used a very light compound and a medium cut pad via DA. Single stage polish, then topped with Passion.

Any idea what I could use to remove this cloudiness on the chrome trim of a 2001 BMW 5 series?
I've tried the usual stuff such as Meguiars Metal Polish, Brasso, Metal T-Cut and nothing will budge it.

So after making a thread about helping me with a car, I ignored every single one of you :o and bought one of my dream cars, a 1987 E30 325i Mtech1. I didn't realise I could afford one, until I looked, found a few ropey ones, then came across the beauty I've bought.
My uncle had one when I...
So after selling the BG I was after something other then a renault for my daily. I don't do a lot of mileage so I fancied something a bit more special so after considering a lot of different cars I was settled on getting a 330ci for their highly regarded m54 engine.
After lots of searching I...
I've been running a Renault Clio 1.2 Dynamique for about a year now, it's been pretty much the most ZFG car ever, as I frankly didn't like it to start with.
A year of my abuse and general poor maintenance has left it quite shoddy, and being honest, I can't be arsed fixing it. It's a laugh to...
Just got back from camping in Yorkshire and had the pleasure of taking this:
I currently have a BG 182 but driving this for a few days left me thinking I should go for beamer next. I went for some petrol in the 182 before and I still love driving it which just shows how awesome the 1*2's are...
So, as per title, the car hasn't been touched from a detailing POV since I got it back from the paint shop a few months ago.
Tonight, it got a simple clean, just to freshen it up.
It was also a chance to test how watertight it is, the answer: Not very :(
Sunroof leaks badly, so some...
So it seems to be a re-occurring theme on this forum but I have moved over to the BMW darkside. I had a Clio 172 Cup previously:

Absolutely loved the Clio but I've had a BMW itch for a while that just wouldn't quit. Hence I bought an 328i Sport e36 in...
Seems a bit confusing with this CBS now when it comes to checking service history.
I've enquired about a 335i and I've been told when its been serviced but there's no set benchmarks I.e inspection 1 & 2 etc.
What is a full service history?! I'd need this as I'd like a comprehensive bmw...
Not sure if it goes well against black. Would choose gloss black.
How it is:
How Black on Black would look...
Not sure its a bit tacky TBH, looks good on white or other colors. Plus I dont know if it would go well against black or my wheels...
Hi All,
Some of you may have seen my thread over in other marques however I thought I'd start a thread here to show my progress and possible plans for the future.
I've had the car since December 2012 and have already closed up 14000 miles, very depressing I know however this happens when you...
A slightly out of the blue purchase, but hey the time was right as was the price too. So picked up this a few weeks back : 3.0Si with 41k on it, just serviced and new discs/pads too. Has a fairly rare Pearl Grey leather interior which we were initially not that sure about but have grown to like...
Right so I've sold my 1.2 Clio and bought myself a 1999 1.9 compact 316i. I couldn't afford the insurance on a 1*2 otherwise I would have got one. Any body had any experience with these and know what to look out for.
But this is how it looks so far. It's lowered on some spring. Angel eye...
