I've found this place to be very competitive on those exact tyres.

But concur with the other chaps who've had repaired tyres. I've never had any issues otherwise they wouldn't fix them (and probably fail the MOT).

Apologies in advance, but how do you actually reset the indicator? I had this issue too, got the tyre fixed but light is still on :-(

I heard its quite tricky and you need to do it while driving or something?

In addition, the car now has brand new front discs and pads fitted less than 1 week ago.

Mileage now 30,200 miles.

Open to sensible offers or trade deal if you have V8 M3.

Ditto - I'd be interested to see how they perform.

Without worrying anyone, I chipped my old Golf TDI and the clutch started slipping within 9 months. I suspect the 3 series one will be much better but the torque figures are still scarily big (and good).

As you have already experienced the D3BT then I'd sctratch the M3 itch while you have the chance. If it's not for you then there are plenty of D3BT's out there you could slip back into. The 4.0 M3 V8 really is a stonkingly good piece of kit. Out of curiosity would you go for a M3 coupe or the saloo...

Wow that is a lot of car for 19k.

I guess I better do some more research then. Obviously the price previously mentioned is open to sensible offers.

Thanks.

If like me you find yourself in the verge of a mid life crisis... Crikey - I hope I'm not hitting mid-life just yet. I'm still the right side of 30 (for now!). It doesn't take long before you start getting pissed off with every drive costing you £10 - £20 and it really is that bad. I know the fig...

2009 D3 Bi-Turbo

Will test the waters for my car as I'm not in any rush to sell. But I have my eyes on something else so if I can make it work out then I would reluctantly see the D3BT go :( Owned for 18 months - am the second owner. 19" Dynamic rims with new PS2's fitted on the rear in October and new PS2's fitted ...

Thanks for your views guys - much appreciated. I did think about the B3BT but that would almost be like bottling it and only going half way to the M3 mecca. I've already spied one that I really fancy so I guess it might be time to try and find somewhere to try it first. My father did have one for a ...

In a predicament...

Ok so this maybe the wrong forum to ask, but I would appreciate your opinions anyway. Just to set the scene. I was offered a 2009 4DR D3BT about 18 months ago at a price I couldn't say no to. So I bought it. I'm a 28 year old boy (in a mans body) and I think at this stage of my life I'd like somethi...

Wow - that is quick!

I've driven it for about 15 miles since my original post and its still pretty evident. In fact my missus was in the car today and she actually mentioned was the car "vibrating" under braking. I was astounded she could actually feel it as I thought it was largely through the peddle! Very worried now ...
