Re: F/S Genuine BMW Winter Wheels & Winter Tyres £140
Hi mate, yes they are still available and I believe they will fit fine on most 1 series (not ones with huge brakes). They actually came off an E87 120D. Is Wednesday the only day you would be able to collect?

Re: Hardtop fitting kit, why so few, why so pricey?
There is probably a lot of cars still around with them on without people even realising. When I got my 2.8 it had one fitted, the seller didn't even know. Most people sell their hardtops on to get some cash, not realising the fitting kits will come off and can be sold on. It happens quite often when...

Got a new mirror from a mini convertible to replace the old one I smashed putting in back together. I didn't have to swap over the circuit boards inside as I don't use the remote locking on the keys, its all done via the alarm fob so it was a simple swap.
