Changed pads and disks and filed pads properly to allow them to back off. Old ones were really tight. Seems to roll freer now and normal commute with 15mins of 5mph traffic means I did the 76 miles today with 81mpg. Quite pleased with that.
Extended the limited mileage declaration on it so I can actually drive it without fear
Only £25 to go from 4k to 6k, so not too bad.
As in insurance declaration? No chance I'd have been declaring that ( unless it was a fixed mileage policy)
Re-attached my Clubsport splitter. Seems they don't like being dragged down really steep driveways lol.
Also managed to knock the ski hatch through and get a subwoofer properly wired up to the standard 16:9 nav unit/BM54 module. The difference is astounding, I can't believe BMW sell £30k+ cars with that horrid standard sound system!
Just need to clean up the wiring, clean up the ski hatch surround, mount the amp to the bottom of the parcel shelf and I'll be in business.

It is fixed mileage, yes.

Ordered some bits for the 75:
- Crankcase breather filter
- Oil filter
- 5/30 fully synthetic oil
So far, so good...

How about, after spending needless money on this one you actually keep it for a while?
Or maybe buy a decent motor
(only kidding ...to an extent.....I like the 75)
Soooo, Sat in my car wondering where my phone charger cable as gone and noticed a little compartment on the underside of the steering wheel.
BAM! £17 in there!
Not mine, so must have been from the previous owner. Always thought i could hear something metal rattling about
So my car actually cost me £2883

This reminds me, there's a USB stick stuck in the centre bulk area of my console because it fell in there while I was faffing about with the front ashtray removing bits and I could not reach it when it fell and got stuck.
It contains a Firefox Portable profile with other files and stuff so would not want that falling into the next owner's hands!

WTF?!
A) how on earth did you not see that
B) how on earth did you not HEAR that
C) why on earth didn't the previous owner take it out?
Either way, good work.. I guess
Because i am a moron, i thought you knew this?

F1A2's went on today. Receptionist at the fitting place clearly wanted the D when she said I had a nice car.
Wanted the D? Why would a receptionist want a 3 Series Diesel? Should have told her to get the i.
