Options List

Is there any way to find out what options were fitted from new? I know Audi use a string of codes to decipher from the owners manual. Or can I just pop into a BMW dealer and ask? Its got an "M" gear knob, BMW CD changer and apparently "sport" suspension. It would be nice to confi...

I'll be really interested in seeing the "after" shots - I really hope it does't darken the roof too much!! i'm used to seeing it faded now...

Renovo Blue?

I've read the recent posts about hood dying, but they all seem to be on black roofs!

Has anyone tried it on a blue roof? Does it cover ok?

Planning to use the Gtechniq waterproofer afterwards.

Just being a little pedantic, but someone might not realise that copper Grease and copper Anti-seize are different things!
Anti-sieze would be a much better solution here (i'm sure no-one intends for the wheel/hub surfaces to be "slippy" do they?)

Hope that helps someone!

No idea these days, tyres are changing all the time; sorry I can't be any more specific. Maybe someone on here will have 18"s and can advise, or you could try a visit to a larger tyre depot, we have setyres and a couple of decent wheel shops here in Brighton that have loads of tyres in stock an...

Dont be afraid of giving it a whack - trust me i've seen a BIG trucker removing a wheel with a sledge... :shock: as long as you use a chunk of wood (a 6" length of 3"x3" fence post is about right) and hit it at 12 - 6 - 3 - 9 o'clock, you should be good!! and finally, GOOD LUCK!! Mac

What tyre size?
Are they 8" fronts and 8.5" rears (as per BMW parts) or replicas?

If they only scrub a little on full lock, you might just get away with a more "rounded" tyre instead of a square profile tyre.

HTH,

Agree with keeping it standard.
