This seems like an ideal thread in which to introduce myself to the forum.
Firstly I've not been an active forum user in a few years, having once been very active on the mig welding forum, if anyone else here happens to be on the same forum I'm a member there under the same username (my name).
Apologies in advance if I commit any forum misdeeds.

I'm a garage owner by day and mechanic in between answering the phone. We specialise in auto electrical work but do virtually everything else as well.
I've recently bought an E91 LCI which will be my first real 'keeper' bmw having had a few short term cars prior.

Already done power folding mirrors retrofit and retrimmed the wood veneer in black Alcantara. As well as a full set of timing chains and most recently the pivoted towbar.
I'm absolutely made up with the car and the spec is 1 in 2000, featuring panoramic roof, comfort access, adaptive xenons, memory electric seats, m sport, cic pro nav and numerous other items. My former (and still much loved) daily driver was a Vectra B CDX 2.6 with a 3.2 engine fitted. This was my daily car until I took it off the road nearly 3 years ago to do a full restoration, which is on going.

My GF has a 2010 E87 116i which I've also done a few retrofits on such as crusie control added, door handle lights and the Bluetooth enabled head unit with 6fl, and a timing chain kit, amongst other things.

I'm probably not going to check in daily but if anyone wants advice feel free to PM me. I've done quite a bit of work across all marques and will help where I can.

Regards
