i do like the new front end of the mini.. the lights have a good shape. but for 16K for a 4x4 4 door mini thats pretty good value

Looking at the new mini countryman, not sure if I like it or not, back quarter looks odd http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_website/gallery.php?o=0&id=352522

I used to get this on the wifes car, I used to slap it in to 2nd then it would slip in to 1st, but only when stationary of course

So the old loom block was removed and you are left with a bunch of wires? Are any of the wires colored? Or markings How many speakers?

Welcome to the club tomo!

saw some on ebay once :)

i always thought that warranty companies want you to buy their products within 90 days of purchase or expired manfacturers warranty. Terms need to be checked before buying. dealer warranty is different as they are able to check the car in person anyway.

Seems a reasonable cost for piece of mind

Welcome to the BMW owners club mate

very tidy mate what wax did you use?

that is !Removed! scary.. i am bad enough on a step ladder LOL

my 520d had 50 on motorway and 29 round town :)

welcome to BMW owners club mate :)

perhaps the bonnet catch is vibrating against metal, or the bonnet hinges are loose. Lubraicate all of these areas with white grease to eliminate

If it is a high pitched continous chirp then could be fan belt worn

Tracks may need lubricating or the motor is worn Welcome to the club

did it ever work? if not, then have it checked by BMW as it may be switched off. I had this on my lexus and i found that if i had the keys in my pocket and the button was pressed all my windows opened, i got fed up waking up in the morning and seeing all the windows of my car wide open. Also happened in a public car park.. i i had then turn this feature off. If it has worked before then it may be the batteries in your fob, or a faulty fob.

doesnt sound like good news andy! By the way, while we were on the subject of bmw pick up, i spotted one last night, first time ever.. tried to take a pic but missed.

how did you find the run flats? I had a new 5 series with run flats and were really noisey

always recommend projects and I would be happy to create a projects section to the website.

that even better mate :) we need a e46 pickup project to follow :)

welcome to BMW owners Club fella!

thats a shame mate turn your e46 in to a pickup!

I would think a custom for sure would be cheapest option then fitting the m3 exhasut tips, or something that looks very similar. may get round having to buy the bumper
