The hooking points in the boot used to annoy the hell out of me - they were a bit chipped and tatty - so these were removed, degreased and sprayed with matt black.

OEM Fire Extinguisher Retrofit
After retrofitting one of these to all my previous BMWs that did not have one from factory, it was the turn of the MC. Turns out this was the trickiest (read: most work involved) retrofit of them all so far. Still, with a little time and the right parts/tools it can be done quite easily. First you n...

Exactly. IMO the fine must be an actual deterrent. If speeding fines only cost a penny to us, you wouldn't give a damn.
