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. :)

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:

I have a similar set fitted in my 328, John, they were already there when I got it, The clutch and brake are simply little brackets fitted over existing pedals with the screws shown. (Both were very loose and I had to tighten up!) The footrest and the accelerator, I'm not quite so sure. There is no obvious way the footrest is attached - I'd guess you simply have to drill four tiny holes in the original - and the accelerator I THINK is the same as the other two pedals, but might have a slightly different bracket to avoid the pedal mechanism? (Sorry my car is such a disgrace, I'll go and hoover it now, lol!) DSCN7099.JPG

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

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. :)

Welcome Darren............and what Geoff said. :D

Well I was talking about mine lol...He's the only man in my life lol

Gone all red here! :wub:

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:

I think if memory serves me correctly that on an E90 the plastic cover slips past the airbag by taking out 3 T20 screws located from behind the steering wheel, they are located at 3 oclock, 6 oclock and 9 oclock., not difficult just a fiddle.

Stephen

That's great thanks for your help sir. :)

The smart repair guy we use does them in place but bear in mind he uses a very low pressure air pencil, its not going to be easy to use an aerosol in a confined space and get even coatings and no runs, probably best to remove it for prepping and painting.

Stephen

Ah ok any idea how straight forward removal is mate sorry.

Hi John its a fault with a BMW steering wheel covers, give it a good rub down with a piece of scothbrite all over, de grease it, let it dry then a few light coats of matt black aerosol, comes up nice and will last a few years with care.

Stephen

Thanks Stephen presumably i can do this without removing the cover? As long as i mask everything up. :wacko:

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'

I'm sorry to hear that Claire honestly don't know how we will cope when that terrible day comes. :unsure: Your dog looks like he was a lovely fella. :(

Absolutely not :P i'm going to upload a picture of mine just as soon as i can. :D

Thanks all :) Had my sights set on a IS Lexus but..............

Guess i need to put my dog in the avatar box at some point huh? ;)

It is an extra mate, sun protection package, but should make no odds to your insurance as most do have it.

Regards

Stephen

Legend thanks for the info fella. ;)

Hey all :)

I'm in the process of picking up my car (above) it comes with tinted rear windows very nice and all that but can anyone tell me if this is a manufacturer extra that comes with this model? My insurance company requires the information. :rolleyes:

Many thanks in advance.

John.
