I've put a deposit down on an approved used car (just over a year old) and afterwards whilst looking at the car again noticed a little scrape on the opening side of the drivers door, as though it's been opened against a wall or something: The dealer has told me they can touch it up but will...

Supposedly, but I still managed to lose control of my 5 series whilst using cruise control in the rain. Whether the DSC cut in and turned it off at some point I'm not sure but it didn't do much to stop me fishtailing between 2 lanes of a (luckily quiet) dual carriageway.

Bizarre place to attempt a U-Turn when there appears to be loads of space just a couple of metres down the road (towards the camera).

When I used Match I found that just leaving my browser open on the match.com homepage (logged in) seemed to work well in attracting attention. I guess it's from girls browsing the "Online Now" members.

Really? My current gf is from Match and before that I had a fair few dates with girls from Match. I had far more luck there than on any free sites and thought it was worth the subscription.

Considering it arrives at the bottling factory in a big vat on the back of a lorry (it's made elsewhere), I don't see how they can calculate it any other way than what you're suggesting.

This happened to me all the time where I used to live. The postman couldn't carry all the parcels around with him so he wrote all the cards out at the depot and posted them. Didn't really bother me as the depot was only a couple of minutes drive away.

pretty good? :p

I don't think I've worried about how long a girl takes to text back since I was about 15 :p Make sure you leave a while before texting back, even if she responds right away. It makes you more mysterious and gives the impression that you have other things in your life apart from her. After 2...

Agreed, putting a chase on makes a girl 1000% more attractive for some reason :p

This. Sounds like you're showering her with gift/attention etc and getting nothing in return. Get a girl who is more into you.

Having had a relationship with a girl for a number years who had mental health problems, I can testify that this is 100% true. I had glimmers of hope that things would get better, but ultimately they never did. Every good moment was followed by a multitude of bad ones in which her life seemed to...

Why not just use headlights, then you're even more visible?

It sounds like you've assumed you are in an exclusive relationship before you've even met up? Not really how online dating works in my experience. The key is to arrange the meet ASAP (which you've done) and then see how things go during/after the date. Forget about whether or not she "might" be...

Anyone know whether insurance would pay out if a car was stolen with the key in the engine, but locked (with a second key)?

Going by this thread - http://forums.5series.net/diy-do-yourself-14/ncsexpert-code-mods-108089/ It looks like you might have to change the VA_CORNERINGLIGHT option in the CAPPL module from nicht_aktiv to aktiv. This would presumably give you an i-Drive menu option to enable the cornering...

Yes, you download the settings in text format, edit them and then re-upload. And of course the settings are all in German just to make it more interesting ;) I found this guide very useful in getting started with coding using NCS: http://ge.tt/61BLK9b/Guide%20to%20BMW%20Coding%20(2011.04.23).pdf

That's one of the reasons I bought my cable from bmtechnic, it's literally a single-click and then it installs the VM with DIS etc. Wouldn't have even bothered trying DIS otherwise. When I read up about this, general consensus seemed to be that an external charger wasn't really necessary for...

www.bmtechnic.co.uk sell good cable/software kits, and have their own one-click installation of DIS GT1 if you're interested in using that (it's generally a pain to set up). I found www.bmwcoding.com to be a useful font of knowledge on the subject.

Does it have a Diesel Particle Filter? I get very similar symptoms to this when my car (a diesel BMW) is doing a DPF regeneration. This would also explain why it only happens when warm, as DPF regen only happens when the car reaches operating temperature. You could try taking it on a long...
