looks much better! I can get away with cleaning the interior and the exterior, but can't see SWHMBO allowing me to spend time cleaning the engine!

It's always good to clean under there. Just a pity with the weather we seem to suffer with it'll be dirty again before you know it.

I do believe you are right Chomper's. I can make out the E53 style headlight washers in one of the pictures.

It is. Its a pre-facelift too. Can tell from the yellow in the indicator and the separate trim piece below the headlight.

Yeah, we just have to look at this....All covered in acres of plastic!
Yeah I know it's an E71, but it looks the same - sort of.
