New Guy From South Wales

Post by Ryan@Indigo-GT » Sun Oct 09, 2011 6:34 pm

Hi, I'm Ryan, I'm completely new to owning a BMW and it's a pretty big change from my last car, anyway just over a week ago I picked up an E53 4.4 Sport in Silver.

I've been pretty impressed with it so far, comfortable, smooth to drive and I'm certainly getting a few looks where I live, mainly because of my age!

I don't have any major plans for it really, I've been there with the last car spending a fortune, I am getting the wheels refurbished to just bring them back to their former glory and next week I'm going to remap the engine, the gains aren't great, but if it get's just one mpg more I'll be happy with that, I'll let you know the outcome.

My only issue so far has been trying to get a replacement front indicator bulb! Anyway here's a pic.

I think the only place you'll find an indicator bulb is BMW but I'm sure I'll be corrected if not

I've taken a punt on a pack I've found via ebay using the various part numbers the bulb has, they were three dollars delivered from Taiwan so I'm giving that a try first
