That's great, thanks for that.
I have painted the grilles tonight, so will leave them to dry overnight and see how they turn out.

Re: Grille painting
Do the titanium grilles have a matt finish or gloss ?
In the process of painting mine now, but need to know whether to lacquer them or not ?
thanks

Re: Grille painting
Thanks for the reply.
My main concern was that the silver paint had to be exact, but glad to hear that it may not be the case.
I take it the slats do not release from the frame?

Grille painting
Has anybody tried painting the standard e83 grille?
I was contemplating painting it to resemble the titanium version.
Any tips for removal, and what the best colour paint match would be??
Thanks

Door Swap
To cut a long story short, I am having to replace the drivers door after an issue with the handbrake, and a steep incline. I have sourced a door from a BMW specialist breaker, but it is a bare door only. I have removed inner door panels, etc previously, but just wondering if anyone has actually ...

Re: Temp Grade Problem
I will keep an eye on it over the next day or two, just to be sure.
I'm not sure about the egr stat symptoms

Re: Temp Grade Problem
Ok, drove the 12 miles home there.
Temp went up to 71 degrees at best, and still wavered up and down.
It seemed that if I was coasting or freewheeling, the temp would drop, but if driving it would rise?

Re: Temp Grade Problem
Previously it was getting no higher than 60 degrees, but I haven't had the chance to test it today, but will do so later hopefully.
