So naffed off am I that I booked only last night to fly to Greece in February, much earlier than normal, its a one way ticket too. I wouldn't be surprised if during 2023 I leave the UK permanently and sell a very nice X6 as a result. Life everywhere has compromises, Greece is certainly no exception...

In my case I suspect the pins where too tight in the OE grommets and didnt seat properly. The back of the rep one I bought is very slightly concave. Having had a no quibble refund without a return its unimportant now. It will go in my box of miscellaneous BMW bits n bobs Box :? ....Half my garage i...

The reason the replica rocked is theyre flat, genuine have a slight curve in them, you can hardly notice it,but its there

They must have got the displayed price in the window wrong???? an alright one will go for £4600.00

My new oil extractor arrived, looks a good bit of kit, cheers X5 sport, bit to damn cold to change it at the moment but not due for another 3k

Thank you X5 sport, Im getting one of those for sure

X5sport, could I ask what make of vacuum system you use, been thinking about getting one as fed up getting under the car etc...does it extract well as in near whats in there??
Many thanks.

32mm spanner......go to a caravan/camping shop...gas bottle spanners are 31.8mm, so you just need to file/grind it out a bit....I have one from years ago and works fine and not a lot of money.....

Got the T shirt for that one

I've seen some 50mm bolts, I'm guessing 2mm short isn't crucial.

I wouldnt have thought so.....

Yours math is correct 37+ 15, I would buy the locking nuts, but thats up to you.....

Could always try the magic reset....battery disconnect for 1/2 an hr.......

Did they fit a genuine filter, aftermarket ones collapse.....even after a day....

Is there any soot residue around where the exhaust exits out the back.....not the exhaust but on rear bumper / valance...
