Trying to work out which # this is - according to the DVLA it was first registered in March 2006. It doesn't match any of the registration plates I have for age & colour (but it may have had the plate changed) How closely did you look at it? Did you notice the interior colour as the photo lacks colo...

There's an easy way to remember to BMW wheel bolt torques for their 'standard' bolt sizes of 12mm & 14mm The recommended torques are ((bolt diameter in mm) x 10Nm) +/- 10Nm This means that 12mm bolts should be 120Nm +/10Nm so 110-130Nm 14mm bolts should be 140Nm +/10Nm so 130-150Nm The educated amon...

Are their rules to this thread...?

The dirtier the better, surely?

Are we talking cars or women...?

Not this winter but 'Before' & 'After'...

bit of a typo there, it's #023...

Slightly off topic, but can we update the register ourselves or does it need to be carried out by the moderators? Admin does it but we have a backlog that needs clearing at the moment ...it must be some backlog... I submitted information and photos of #320 in 2012 and the details still haven't been...

I've used various brands of trim tape over the years without a single plate coming off. The last lot I bought was https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B076M3YYL8 and it's kept the plates on our X3 for just under 4 years - and the X3 lives outside as the Alpina gets to use the garage... :lol: You're p...

[Soapbox] Removal of a DPF is incredibly anti-social - they're installed for a reason and there's a potential fine of up to £1000 if they're removed. I, for one, hate following diesels that blast out huge amounts of soot as they accelerate. [/Soapbox] As far as an MOT goes - It’s illegal to drive a ...

Good news that you got the nuts off (although a little disheartening to hear they are that easy to remove with the right tool!) The wheel bolt designs that just have an irregular outer surface have never offered much protection - the McGard ones with a smooth outer surface and rotating collar are m...

There are some sockets that have a lot of little push rods that are supposed to fit misshapen or irregular nuts, I understand that some of these will work on keyed bolts Alternatively, the tyre changing places often have a variety of locking-nut 'keys' - if you have a spare 'normal' bolts, it might ...

Here's what it used to look like - it may not have Xenons, but it did have eyebrows...

...and sold at £14,250 (plus the 6% fee to the site)... effectively sold for £15,105

... unless the Xenons were an aftermarket upgrade? They look like standard Z4 headlights... As an example, here's an image of the headlights & interior of a low-spec 2004 2.2 SE that's currently for sale - you can see the headlight adjustment wheel inside I just grabbed the front and interior image...

Nice looking RS

It is very presentable... not as nice as #320 though - but I would say that

I like the lack of navigation screen.
I would miss the headlights and wind deflector upgrades.

It has the wind deflector - it's mentioned in the ad and you can see it installed in one of the photos. The boot mounting brackets for the deflector are also present
