    I sprayed my trim around the gearstick silver looks ok but unless you fill it, rub it down, then prime it before spraying all the marks and scratches show through, its ok from a distance though.

    Looks tidy mate, I'm gonna do this but would rather do a brushed graphite grey but can't find any wrapping so will prob end up with the carbon.
  5. Oh that's ok then :)
  6. What year did the mirror tilt on reversing come in?
  7. Just a thought on this, would it not be better for members to nominate other members cars and the most votes wins, just an idea.
  8. Carry on drinking and avoid the problem altogether ;)
  9. I think you'd be better off with the 320 mate, you won't notice any performance difference really but it'll be cheaper to run and insure, don't know about the other things mate but I'm sure someone will either that or Google it.

    Yeah I dropped the Lex and it makes a massive difference I think the rear of the BM is ok but the front defo needs it but it'll be as much to stiffen the ride up abit as it will be for looks though.

    Does seem pretty easy to do but I don't really have the time so would still probably put it in somewhere, i've got a couple of other issues that I need to look at first anyway, it's making a funny noise at speed from the rear it's like an intermittent drone and it's started knocking every now and again front offside so need to get the wheels of and check everything :(

    150 quid Gav? I can get them fitted for 80, anyone used G Max springs? I had them on my Lex and they were spot on for that.
  13. Andy1878 replied to Andy1878's topic in Wanted
    Ok cheers mate that makes it easier it'll go to a garage to get done:)
  14. Andy1878 posted a topic in Wanted
    Has anyone dropped their e46 on lowering springs? want to do mine and was wondering if it's easy to do or do you need clamps? want to take mine down by about 40mm which should make it sit abit better but also hopefully stiffen the ride up abit aswell B) Cheers :D
  15. Not had a chance to check anything yet m8 gonna strip it down and have a look when I get 5 mins.
  16. Welcome mate defo check your rear suspension mines noisy ##### end so I think I've got issues back there but then I've come from a lexus saloon to an estate so may be its just echoing around inside the car.
  17. Yeah I know m8 gonna get some for front and back.
  18. Looks spot on m8, I'm defo goin to do mine should look good with my black interior, cheers.
  19. Started to freshen up the front end abit, got these JDM style black and clear indicators to match the headlights, what do you think? Need to order some chrome bulbs tho B) . Before: After:

    Have a fiddle with the bonnet release cable and lever it's probably jammed open so the catch wont latch onto the hook, same with the fuel cap if it's the push open type like mine pull the rubber back spray with WD and work it a few times :D
  21. You got any pics of the dash matey :D
  22. I'd still try un-plugging the cluster for a few mins or take the fuse out for it.
  23. Pretty sure mines not got that hole will check tomorrow.
  24. Any wires running from front to back should be inside the car under the carpet, when you take the clocks out you'll see what you need to unplug there's only one connection in the back of the clocks well there is on a 320 anyways.
  25. If its the same as mine its just 2 screws, if you look just above the clocks there's a little arch shaped mound 2 screws in there, take them out and the clocks just pull forward then its one plug in the back of the unit, try that or re-set the ecu if that don't work, don't know how to do that with the fuses on BMW but if you disconnect the battery for a couple of mins that should re-set it.
