I suspect (and hope) that I will be more of a reader than a writer in this forum because I have just bought my first BMW and know very little about anything BMW. My boot lid used to fly off its hinges but not now, thanks to a guy on Youtube showing me how to fit replacements. I've invested in a hardcopy Handbook but that's almost a difficult to navigate as the iDrive! When I have some time to spare, I can be found under the bonnet trying various ways to dig out the rotting leaves that have settled over years in the cavities way down beneath the bonnet springs. I have been a reactive DIY repairer of various cars, over many years and in an odd way, I enjoy it. Cheers for now.
