I bought a bit of a list this month:
2 rear tyres (Hankook v12) 12 months road tax Milltek catless downpipes rebuild for both turbos (done twice and still rattle a bit) 2 oil changes due to turbos coming off twice brake fluid change Evolve FMIC Evolve stage2 remap Lots of petrol!! It was a pretty pricey month |

No good for that, it's great for engine bay plastics, footwell kick panels, door seals, m sport black bumper inserts and the big black bumpers on my van, but never on the dash - you'll get dazzled!! Surely no one recommended it for the dash?? |

I know it is frustrating... But our n54 turbo wastegates will always rattle a little due to the design unfortunately. The wastegates can be adjusted by using the latest jb4 which can potentially stop the rattle on new or rebuilt turbos and minimize the rattle on turbos which are old and the rattle has got progressively worse. |

Honestly I still think that a good clean with a damp microfibre cloth is all thats needed to bring back the original finish. I might try einszett cockpit cleaner next, just to see if i can give the dash some protection, but im not sure its needed |

Yep, the main dash needs nothing more than a damp cloth in a very weak dose of mild detergent (few drips of flash etc). Then pat-dry with lint free teatowel or similar, any products invariably leave it shiny or uneven, |

Finally got off the run flats and got a new set of michelin pilot super sports.
EDIT: Also had a diff oil change, brake fluid change, coolant flush, power steering fluid change, and gearbox oil change. Last edited by chaz_master; 04-11-2013 at 01:29 PM.. |

Feedback on Gliptone leather conditioner:
Smell seems strong, a bit dodge at first but I think after a couple days of working into the leather its meant to change. Also shiny at first but meant to change matte as it works in. So far so good, even brushed lightly over the dash just for kicks. Will try the BH clay bar on a sunny day |

Did you do the work yourself? Or get a pro? When you did the gearbox oil change, did you go as far as changing the sump and filter? Or just the fluid? Does the diff have a filter too? |

Yeah, I am hoping to try and take it out to the track before I head back to the USA. I've always been an American muscle guy, but now I've got the BMW and love it more than my old Trans Am WS6 and Mustang GT. I'll probably stop spending money when I hit 10K (US Dollars). For all the purchases already I've paid $5100 or £3325 including shipping. so I've spent that much in less than 2 weeks. |
