I just can't decide if I should go for looks or super light weight alloys for performance?

That looks nuts, I love that look!

Fitted my CAtuned coilovers over the weekend.

Calluhan · 01-27-2016, 07:42 AM

Pulled a screw out of my month old rear tyre :-(

Phil99z · 01-27-2016, 04:31 PM

Swapped my Matt black grills for gloss black. Should have just gloss black from the start as it looks so much better and suits my Carbon mirrors and front splitter much better but hey ho. Also order a new set of Avant Garde M359 alloys.

Took my E91 325d to my bm specialist for new front and rear discs and pads, new glow plugs, dpf regen and possibly new thermostats. Waiting to pick it up but not heard a thing yet and need it back urgently! Come on Darren.

stampylove · 01-28-2016, 12:34 PM

Wow! Car sounds amazing, being worrying might need new injectors as the diesel knock coming from the engine has been doing my head in for momths now. Read every review on the net re injector knock. The specialist told me more likely to be a bad glow plug, in all honesty thought he was barking up the wrong tree. Glow plugs changed knock now gone and engine purring (yeah I know diesels don't purr). Also has the headlights changed to HID's and now I can see unbelievably far! Can recommend Hawk extreme HID, no fault errors at all.
One happy chappy.

Digitalize · 01-30-2016, 07:00 PM

Not wash it.

bazz780 · 01-31-2016, 04:57 AM

Picked car up from stealers - boost leak and diff seal replacement - ouch

snedanator · 01-31-2016, 01:41 PM

Zimmerman discs all round. Brembo standard pads in rear and brembo hp sport performance pads in front. New sensors, caliper clips. Just need to do the ate blue brake fluid and goodridge hoses.... then good to go.

tasn1 · 01-31-2016, 04:10 PM

Washed it for the 1st time this year

mjn77 · 02-03-2016, 02:25 PM

Bought it some stickers........

stampylove · 02-05-2016, 03:05 PM

Put my new OEM rubber floor mats in.
Thanks Cotswold bmw.
And gave it a wash.

Gooey33 · 02-19-2016, 12:36 PM

Busy day today!

Removed and cleaned both intake and outlet Vanos solenoids. Removed and cleaned MAF sensor and removed all aluminium trim ready for dropping off at the body shop tomorrow for its painting.

Then gave it a wash and polish! Beading up nicely now!

And put a deposit down on an Abarth 500 Essesse for the wife!

stampylove · 02-19-2016, 12:51 PM

Drove my car up to Ecotune and drove away with a stupid smile on my face!

Thermobaric · 02-20-2016, 05:53 AM

Fixed my reversing bulb. Well, the car fixed it on it's own heh. Had a warning light on the dash a couple of weeks ago. Checked bulbs. All good. Checked a couple of days ago. Reversing bulb not working. Pulled it out, looks fine. Cleaned the contacts. Still not working. Start up today, no warning light and working fine. Magic I guess.

Mine did that on and off for a couple of weeks till the bulb finally died.. Replace the bulb

Thermobaric · 02-20-2016, 06:19 AM

I think I will. I have some in the post anyway.

Chappers 71 · 02-20-2016, 10:51 AM

Washed my car in the rain, put it in the garage, dried & polished it whilst having a beer or two.

Nickos · 02-20-2016, 12:24 PM

Gave it a good wash then parked it up to watch it piss it down.

mjn77 · 02-21-2016, 06:42 AM

Wash n wax........shining like a diamond in a goat's ass!

abeardo83 · 02-21-2016, 11:28 AM

Ordered some F10 M5 replica alloys for it. Fitted a boot lip spoiler.
Replaced pads and discs on my dad's beaten up old Astra.
