  1. some advice on a space saver for our 2007 3 series M-Sport please :) The one we are looking at on Ebay has the details 115/90/16 (300Bx16H2,IS32). Our tyre has the details 255/35ZR18 on the side. I'm assuming the 16 and 18 are the alloy wheel size so important or not?? :wacko:The auction advertises for most E90 models so isn't totally committal for a noob like me. 1000 thanks in advance, John. :)
  2. Meh !Removed! brake and clutch pedals are too big :angry: Top holes should be ok but the bottom two sit in fresh air *sigh*. Gonna have a cuppa and see if i can think of a fix (whistles for ideas :rolleyes: ). Since learn't there is a 3 hole option (pretty pricey mind you) which would be better for anyone planning on doing this mod. -_- Me in my usual haste now has a headache to overcome. :wacko:
  3. Lol don't be daft there's too many gleaming interiors dotted around here that make us all feel very guilty. Thanks for the advice mate iv'e taken the plunge how hard can it be. :o
  4. Hey guys anyone any experience with fitting these (pic below) I think they look rather nice just wondered how much of a fuss they are to fit. :)

  6. Gone all red here! :wub:
  7. Think i have plucked up the courage to remove it over the weekend. Just can't decide what carbon wrap colour to go for black or silver. :wacko:
  8. That's great thanks for your help sir. :)
  9. Ah ok any idea how straight forward removal is mate sorry.
  10. Thanks Stephen presumably i can do this without removing the cover? As long as i mask everything up. :wacko:
  11. Hey gang iv'e just noticed the paint around my steering wheel buttons is starting to peel off its nothing major at this stage but will no doubt only get worse. <_< Iv'e heard of this carbon fibre wrap stuff which looks like a decent fix?? What i would like to know is how tricky is it to remove the cover (pic below) im not a complete dimwit but always get a little nervous with this kind of thing. :blink: If there is an alternative solution ie some sort of paint im all ears I assumed the wrap would be a little more solid a fix long term. Thanks in advance' John.x
