Nice. What engine?

3.0 M54. Got a few little jobs to do, bit of a clunk from the front suspension and a slight oil leak from the rocker cover gasket.

Changing the control arms, drop links and arb bushes this weekend and then sorting the gasket next weekend, will replace the VANOS gaskets while I'm at it since it's not that much more work.

Nice, hope all goes smoothly!

Couple of very quick pics - It had some pretty horrid wind deflectors and some odd badge covers on that have been removed, looks much better for it (imo)

(note to self, sort out drive)

Running it in is going to be painful

Akagi · 28 Apr 2017 at 17:44

Love it in that colour, a M240i in that colour would be my next car if I stick with this size

After having a grey VRS and realising how dull it was I thought I'd get something that stood out a bit. Also went with Oyster Leather instead of the usual dreary black.

Unfortunately you can't get the M240i in Valencia Orange

Although you can choose between 2 different shades of white!

Yea, I just took a look to see if that had changed but alas no. I'd spec a M240 in Valencia with oyster if I could

Met paint
5 Door
Sports Auto
Pro Nav
Harmon Kardon
Adaptive Dampers
Heated Front Seats
Comfort Pack (Which includes cruise Fox, incase you didn't read the brochure)
Sun Protection

Think that's all. Trying to find any excuse to put miles on it ATM.

Scottland · 28 Apr 2017 at 21:30

Very similar to mine, and ditto about excuses to put miles on it. I'm hopefully going to get out in it this weekend.

Welcome to the M140i club

BananaDunka · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:05

One of the reasons why I prefer the local Tesco to any other supermarket :cool:

TheVoice · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:10

For parking in areas not marked as parking spaces?

BananaDunka · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:13

There's no signage saying that it isn't a parking spot, and I've seen cars parked there all the time during peak hours, so it's pretty clear that the store have no issue with it, nor does it stop anyone using any of the other bays around it. It's a win win.

wedrum · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:29

well the solid white line that you had to cross sort of says it is not a parking space.

looks like there is a sign at the left that says no something too ?

BananaDunka · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:31

Yeah, it says no smoking.

Solid white line makes it a parking box

Come at me!

wedrum · 29 Apr 2017 at 13:34

one day a jobs worth with have you son
