Hi Dave, thanks for the insight! Guess I might need to rethink my Bimmer plans if walking and cabs are quick and easy. Those museums you suggested sound awesome! I was also thinking about how to get to the Colosseum, I'll probably end up being one of those 'darned tourists' myself! 😂 I read that it might be possible to skip the lines and get tickets by hiring some local guides. I'll look into https://gowithguide.com/Italy/rome/guides if they book tickets in bulk ahead of time.

Hi Dave. Yes,at last and hopefully it will stay dry. I have just had the car washed and dryed at a local hand wash - car wash and hopefully that will produce a good result for my pension money investment towards keeping the car !! As they say "Watch this space"😁

Yeah, the ice cream was definitely easier to clean up than that. But gotta love the smile on the little one 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ice cream would be easier to clear up 🤣🤣 Got a fold up dog cage I could lend you as long as no one dobs us in to Child Welfare 🤣🤣🤣

Morning Stu She has it in for you 🤣 The job is really simple takes longer to uncover the throttle body than actually change it. 4 bolts hold it in place unplug it and don't drop the seal when you take it off. As an aside have you checked the Vac lines that connect to it's mount. If I remember take the covers off take the big elbow that goes to the Maff off 4 M6 bolts (I think) hold the Throttle body to the inlet manifold there is a seal between the manifold and the throttle body dont do my trick and drop it 🤣 Check realoem that may help Enjoy your Saturday Dave

Hi David Welcome to the Forum Very tasty looking car as the power plant is basically the same as the M4 what about exploring an exhaust swap ? I would think Centre box back would be pretty much the same. just how that could effect warranty I am not sure if all parts are OEM Just thinking out loud Dave

God afternoon David and welcome to the forum. very nice car and a good colour choice! it’s been a while since I modded exhausts but I’m sure power flow or similar can give you what you need

The spigot is the raised ring on the wheel hub that locates the wheel. It should match the big centre hole in the middle of the wheel, If the one in the wheel is smaller it wont fit if it's larger thewheel wont centre correctly and will probaly wobble Good Luck Buddy

Hi Ian Welcome to the Forum Check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box (one car at a time) then check the wheels section. Check the wheel szes for both cars and the wheel Offset so you know they clear Brake Calipers The only other thing is check the spigot ring measure ment on both wheels Hope this Helps Dave

Hi Gemma Welcome to the Forum First place to look is in the iDrive settings in case someone has set something there Max/Min. I take it all fuses have been checked? If the temp was adjustable but now isnt you may need a Diagnostic scan to determine just what the issue is. There are a couple of Companies who repair these if it is the climate control ECU Testing and Cartronix Google will help you find them talk to them to see if they can help Hope this helps Dave

Hi Stu I think you could well be right had this with the 4.6 loss of power, stop restart all OK then randomly lose power New throttls body sorted it. Good Luck Dave

I go with Dodo or Zaino.
