Re: Tyres.??? Opinions PLEASE...
Changed my 21" to Dunlop non run flats on advice from other forums and they are good cost £1250 a year ago, will need new fronts soon. With the profile so slim, it has to make a difference on a heavy motor.

Rear bumper....how much !
Found out that the 4.8 it's also quite quick in reverse...up the driveway and into the garage door! Small dent in garage and bumper scuffed but then noticed a slight lift in the centre. Asked the dealer how much to fix and apparently it needs a new bumper for £500. Not going to bother as no doubt it' ...

Re: BMW Finance rate for buying used car
Isn't there a 14 day cooling period? In which case I don;t think they can charge a fee only interest in that period

Re: X5 40d ordered-long wait ahead!
Are you having a protective glaze put on? I got the A Glaze treatment, other dealers use different ones, do not pay anything like full price - try for free and work up. Think it was £399 and ended up at £150 - still a lot for a bottle of fluid and a guys labour but at least you know you are getting a ...

Re: K&N Filter for 4.8
Done my own reviews on k&n which I should have done before buying and think it will be going back on fleabay. Seems like you may have short term gains but potential for things to go wrong with too much oil being used to clean it and it actually allowing more dust in. Good job got it for less than ...
