Big time lol....we all remember our 1st bm..

damn right i cant wait.lol.my mrs is sick of hearing me tell her how nice the car is.haha.i must be the only person in the country who wishes monday wasnt a bank holiday so i could go to the bank and pay the rest of the balance on it.roll on tuesday

[G4VHD]

I know the feeling, i had to wait for the start of the month so i didnt lose 4 days Tax...done my head in

[mart77]

just a quick question lads.the car comes with a set of 18 inch alpina alloys on it.unfortunately i noticed 2 of the centre caps are missing.after doing a bit of research on the net i think they are called staggered??????

any ideas where i could get two caps from and also i might sell them as the tyres look expensive.lol.any ideas what they might be worth?they looked in fairly good nick but i wont know for sure till tuesday:-(

[andy-mcq]

if staggered it means the rears are wider than the fronts, ideal for a rear wheel drive car B)

id look into getting the centre caps replaced , id also think about keeping them, you will regret it other wise

[mart77]

to be fair i probably will keep them.they do look very nice.i'll just have to go easy on them.haha.

i've got more questions too.lol.sorry.do e46's have cam belts or chains?also i'm with adrian flux insurance atm but who do you lot use?

[G4VHD]

Im with Octagon, I found £400 cheaper than anyone else
