Re: Quality bodyshops
[quote="X5Sport"] Baron’s BMW in Bedford (was Elms until recently but same chain) is a BMW Approved Workshop - one of only a few allegedly. Used them twice for the E46 and sorting out bad paint on the X6. Good job both times, and prices quite reasonable. [/quote] Thanks I might pop over there to get ...

Quality bodyshops
Right not a Bmw but a VW that needs a Bodyshop repair in around Herts area,tried a few over the years but not truly happy with the results and mostly their attitudes when you tell them you’re not 100% happy!
So anyone on this forum have a good Bodyshop to recommend?

Re: Kitchen concrete floor.
[quote="Steamyrotter"] If you are re-concreting it then probably underneath the screed layer.. If not then there may end up too much movement to guarantee the tile staying put as the insulation will be spongey in comparison.... However saying that look into how the Americans do it.. as i believe ...

Re: Kitchen concrete floor.
[quote="sid10"] Has it a damp course ? I once laid a tiled floor on concrete , next day they had all lifted up .

Re: Headup display
It seems Bmw still haven't sorted this very minor and frustrating error in aligning the HUD. Not sure we are allowed to mention ISTA but this what I used to realigned my HUD and E-Sys software is for the many coding options on the F15 which in my eyes far more easier than on the E70! If anyone is ...

Re: And another 50d delivered this month
[quote="mogsyman"] All lovely, couple more observations......

4 Corner suspension - rear left low
Yes Paulpen that's the best option,coding out is easy if you use Ncexpert which I used to remove susp. Inact from cluster,after a full 4 wheel alignment to sort the geometry.

4 Corner suspension - rear left low
It wasnt my car just helped a mate out who had the same problems as you are constantly pouring money replacing parts like as if a bottomless pit. That was 2years now and he's not spent any more £'s on it and the ride is good so no negatives. Regards to towing I believe at the time I fitted the rear ...

I've done the same conversion on the 4.8 and tbh it isnt that difficult,its labour intensive espcially the fitting of the rear springs but very achievable.
Get it done and you wont have any more issues after!
Regards to ride quality its not far off from all round air but its no big deal.

Daft question but, they've not done something wacky like fitted the wider alloys with the 255 50 19 tyres and put them on the front have they?

Wouldn't surprise me nowadays with so called "techs"[emoji851]
