where were you???

anyway I hope next time will be better. and for others: do not say that you will do it if you dont

As you pulled on to the grass, to your left, silver e36, black, red M3 e46 and a MGTF (embarrassed)

I was there. but as a new member I did not found any one. there was no since or flags nothing. so I just spend good time with my kids.

We did spot you mate, but was unsure.

prob as there was a !Removed! poor turn out you were better off having a good time with the family.

thankyou for making the effort, a lot more than the rest of the few thousand on here

Tbh I couldn't have said it better myself Gav. Apart from myself,Gav and Jac nobody else turned up from BMWOC. There was no input or promotion from any of the mods,the boss or its members. So I'd like to take this opportunity to say that as of today I'm resigning as S/E Meet coordinator and will no longer be arranging any events for BMWOC !!

And been as I quit management 3 months ago but for some reason I still have the title.....im actually ashamed to have this title..

poo I put into this club and got jack back..

I have fell out with friends, bent over backwards to make this club over the last 3 years.

You all belong in Skoda owners club in my opinion.

A certain few of you make the effort, the rest are pure pricks...

This club will go no where..

Cheers for turning up guys...

Yeah thanks...bunch of c***s

Im out of this club

Yes it is mate

Because I had exact same on my car.

Water spotting/etching can be removed successfully (% depending on severity) via paint correction and reconditioning and doesnt cost anywhere near the 4k for the respray.

Full correction details from a GOOD pro should cost in the region of £750-£1500 depending on how long they need the car for, however you can get it cheaper but it may not be as good as you would expect, but we all know you get what you pay for in this day and age.

Its lacquer peel

Yeah you can mate, But i have a set of BMW ones for sale if your interested.

PM me if so please as I miss posts sometimes

No you wont mate.

There is one one each wheel on the E46, should be same on the 1.

It doubles up as an ABS/DSC sensor

Speed sensor

It wont polish out mate, I had exact same on my black saloon..

...ended up a full respray jobbie

Get your tracking done mate, It will be out..

It is common for people to change one side, lazy but common.

Why your under there, you may as well change the control arm

Also shocks will need doing soon, so get some springs too.

Rear shock will need replacing soon too.

Dont panic, all this can be done for less than 300 notes if you do the work yourself, simple stuff, just 2 awkward bolts in the control arms.

Go for the 100 quid ones mate, more than capable for your engine size.

No point wasting money

I'm running an offset of 25 on 8j 9j staggered

-100 mm front

-70mm rear no problems

But I have 215/35/18 all round

Yes it probably will...but will they know?
