Have had a gtechniq coating on two, white, used - non Alpina cars, the Platinum `dealer only applied` package (five year warranty, free annual inspection). Have found it to be an excellent product, the preparation removed 99% of existing `swirls / marks`... the coating then sealing it off and protec...

Have used all the Michelin`s mentioned ... all are excellent products. Not all on an Alpina though.

The `ex` B10 V8 Touring ran 19" PS2 front - SS rear.

Current B5 S4 Avant runs 17" PS4

Current Cayman runs 20" PS4S

Previous Cayman ran 19" PS2 on road and 19" Cup 2 on road & track

I guess more so than the obvious improvement to driving dynamics, of paramount importance to me is to ensure that there is no change to the amount of NVH in the cabin. I absolutely cannot stand even the smallest creak or clunk from mechanical parts and will go out of my way to eliminate them. So ju...

Re: Screen Wash

Does your car have the Intensive Wash system, if so use the BMW fluid. Is this to avoid gumming up issues? Not sure, I don`t recall reading that in the handbook ? It is used `neat` and cleans extremely well, removes those `white` smears that accumulate from normal screen washing. When I asked for i...

Been running a MY2000 Audi B5 S4 Avant for the past three years, was fortunate to find a one owner, full service history car that had not been modified. It is a manual 2.7 V6 twin turbo quattro and returns a consistent 25mpg, had 265bhp when new and still goes very well after 125k. Does not have the...

Agree ... Ferrari`s fails let Mercedes off the hook. Driver of the season ... Esteban Ocon. 2018 ... the usual top three mixing and matching, Red Bull making it tighter between the other two.
