Bugs!!!!!!!!!!
Of the roadkill kind... :mad:
Now we have actually had some good weather here in the UK, the bugs are out in good numbers so I thought I'd ask whether anyone else reckons that the E90 seems to pick up more than its fair share .... At the weekend, on a journey (in convoy) of about 150 miles, the front of the E90 ended up covered, while our Touareg didn't seem to collect half as many....I would have expected the reverse to be true....

what about if you have the clear bra put on, doesnt it wear off eventually? do you have to replace it eventually? can it be? I plan to have my car for about 5 years or so...

Ive heard the amount of bugs on your car is very dependant upon what kinds of wax you use, etc...Dont know if its BS or not...Im just gullible..

Mine is terrible for it - one week going to work and back (26mile journey) and its caked with em. I've never had a car that seems to collect as many and I used to drive a 325. Aerodynamics? Waxed mine recently to see if it makes it any easier to get the little blighters off but not tried as yet.

My theory is that it is a very upright front end......so rather than be deflected over, most of them just splat onto the front......I still find it amazing that the big Touareg actually caught fewer though......
