SEO Migration Agency - Spam deleted!
Could have been a coincidence. I had to whitelist the forum before Malwarebytes would let me continue. It's never been a problem before today.

Paddle shift
Are the points earlier or later? As in, does it now tear through the gears or hang in for a little longer before changing? It hangs-on a little longer - not much, but enough to notice. Also, slowing down it drops a little earlier. IMHO hanging-on a little longer isn't a problem as since the remap i...

Paddle shift
I the interest of continuity......... The job was done 3 weeks ago now. As well as coding, the mod required a cable to be run from the SZL module to the FRM, and another from the FRM to the FEM. Not really a big job, the whole lot was done in half a day. Coding the transmission as "Sport Automa...

Which Oil do you guys use? and your service interval
I do oil changes every 6k miles and use Millers LL04-spec oil and Mann or Bosch filters. The car has had more than twice the oil changes in the 5+ years/52k miles since I bought it than it had with two owners (and "FBMWSH") the previous 5 years/70k miles. IMHO if it was going to spin a bea...

Like an M3 badge on a 316i :rofl: :rofl: :shutup: Like no one would notice! Sad people, just deluding themselves. :roll: Getting a bit off-topic here, but I'm going to post this anyway. I posted these thoughts on another forum recently......... I can remember when GT badging on a car (well, at leas...

Not a fan of ///M adornments.
Fresh MOT today, no further work needed. Should be OK for another couple of years now.

Another year, another MOT
Mine has been done today. I got the fuel filter fitted and the brake fluid changed at the same time (I did the rest of the service last week).
All good, no advisories.

I'm not familiar with what was original, its the same aside from the paddles or different altogether? Not that different. Nappa leather, rather than basic "printed" leather. And the paddles, of course, but the same design/size 'wheel. The trims are a bit of a mix'n'match. The car came wit...

Tyres (17")
I'm starting to think I might run the Avons down to 3mm (currently 5.5) and then just keep them for emergencies. I've taken the car for an alignment this afternoon, due to replacing the steering tie-rods and ends. The bloke at the tyre place pointed-out that the front tyres are worn on the inner an...

I spent all the daylight hours yesterday replacing the steering tie-rods and ends, and front discs and pads. The steering was advised on the last MOT, and the next one is this coming Monday. I just need to finish rebuilding one side this morning, and change all the filters (the fuel filter is gettin...
