No leaks from my 2. No excess noise either except when the hard top was sitting correctly and the screw needed tightening.

Phil

just a reminder -- its next Tuesday -- only 2 days to go

Phil

Oil temperature takes longer than water temperature to reach optimum.
So dont think that because the water temperature gauge has optimised the engine is ready to be thrashed. It takes a few more miles to be OK

Phil

Shirley that number plate of yours **** PLR
Is that a personalised one --mine is M12 PLR ie my initails.

Phil

Hey Gary -- polishing for the last 3 hours -- come now thats not like you and in the dark and cold as well.

Dont bother polishing it for next Tuesday cos it will get mucky.

Phil

Oh goody ---a 1 series - you can see how good it is on the twisties cos I've got twisties on this one. Ran the route yesterday and found the obligatory road closed.

Phil

We're all booked in.

Phil

I usually flash and/or wave (as long as it's safe to do so) and can be ignored by either sex

Phil

Hey Steve does that mean you're not coming on the 8th March. Jazz band laid on for you. Marc ( our Americain friend) is coming in his 3 series.

Phil

Start at 7.30pm prompt Brueton Park, car park, just off J5 M42 - Solihull Back to the drive as well as dine with a 30 mile sporting drive to The Three Horseshoes at Wixford. A meal awaits in the presence of a live jazz band. Our reserved area is away from the music so it is background only. The meal...

GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil

Risk assessment --any comments and what about organisers liability?

Phil

Useful on the Welsh Cruise for removing sheep!!!!!!!!!

Phil

Well said Surj

Phil

There are no hard and fast rules on our cruises. We are individuals going out for a drive. They are not events,races,rallies etc.. We are not a club, there are no subscriptions and no fees, no one makes any money etc.. The moment we become a club or charge entries etc things become quite different. ...

Phil

BMW have a 4plus and a 7plus which give discounts to older cars.

Phil

I've had 2 Zs and both have been very odd with regard to the fuel tank capacity/consumption. You get used to it

Phil

The August 03 should have been inspection2

Phil

I had Phil's Idyllic Saunter and Supper -- P. I. S. S. moderated on a couple of message boards.

Phil

The issue is still basically that everyone is responsible for their own actions. It is even worse if someone turns up under the influence of drugs or drink because not only are they breaking the law but it is more than likely that their friends and family are going to be involved as we drive in conv...

Phil

In the light of this I rather imagine any cruise organiser naming a cruise as a 'Drive it like you stole it run', would be leaving themselves wide open to prosecution in the event of the worst happening :( DavidM, on this occasion I'm prepared to be lenient, as it's your 1st offense in relation to ...

Phil

I dont see any reason why a similar thread about the same subject isn't started again. The subject is very valid -- it was the personnal aspects that were becoming problematic.

Phil

There is a sequence of oilservice, inspection 1, oil service, inspection 2
Costs depend on dealer labour rates and main dealer versus independant.
Main dealer around £120 for oil service £300 for inspection 1 £500 for inspection 2
Huge variances though

Great day out -why aren't I going

Did a big scratch in my M and cant tell where it was now -- excellent

Phil

Occasional signs of wear though

Phil

You have to release the clips then push up the hood slightly and fold it then, with foot on the brake, press the button.
To put the hood up its foot on the brake, press the button and when almost closed you pull the hood in position and fold the clips in.

Phil

Surely the key words are safety --first and foremost and not just ours but other roadusers and secondly consideration. We've all done the 'trying to keep up and not get left behind thing' at junctions/traffic lights. You know you should wait but no -- go for it and the lights are just going red or t...

My bike tops out at about 45mph -- downhill-------------
Cant pedal any faster ---

Noted --- with appreciation.

Pilot sports for me.

We had an e-mail yesterday from Verte Vallee saying that they had replied to each couple in our group that had requested a room for that night "Miles, Kemp, Beckett, Jones and Willn". If someone is not in that list, perhaps they should e-mail Catherine at V V and mention they are with the ...

Phil

I have changed my dining arrangements at Verte Vallee so that my lady and I might join our humble servants at the feast.
One looks forward to meeting you.
Sir Philip

Phil

I had an inspection one recently which was around £500

Phil

Glad you're enjoying it -- keep up the good work

Phil

About £10500 -- have you got a BMW warranty?

Phil

Definately expensive -----------should be about £120
Labour charges are the key and they vary from dealer to dealer

Phil

Don't do it -- any Z officiando will know it's not an M and take the p*ss out of you.
It's like those who put M badges on a 318 etc.
Sorry mate just my opinion --------------

There's a couple of S54 M Roadsters on the BMW website around £24000

Phil

We Midlanders enjoy the food as much as the drives.

The venue for Tuesday is something else mind---- Spannish/English food and fish dishes to die for.

Thats cos you had bald tyres???????????????

Phil

Have you tried BMW insurance?
I have an M Roadster and found they were very competitive.
It surprised me because they weren't as good for our 323 saloon.

Phil

Had my confirmation from Chalet Swiss this evening.
Has everyone managed to book Verte Vallee in Munster?

Phil

Phil

Can't make Friday or Saturday
