Like I said Porker for girls. That's the same as speccing up a 118d. Pigs and lipstick (the car and spec not OHs that is lmao)
10 or more is better really (that includes the wannabes in V8 Vantages).

Welcome aboard Chris. Been a few years but met you at ABP when I had my 530d in at yours with a couple of issues with my StopTech BBKs.
Nice motors and don't mind this lot.

Talking to my Dealer on Friday, it seems there really is an issue getting parts from Germany to the UK. All the parts I need are available, all in Germany and all outstanding for 4 weeks at least with no current indication of when they'll actually get here.
The part I'm most concerned about is the bonnet release system as it's currently very fragile (been held together with gaffer tape at present until the new box arrives and may break again. I'm being 'sparing' with the use of washer fluid just in case - not easy around these parts with all the harvesting going on.
