  1. Fair play for giving it a crack - they came out really good! Cant wait to see whats next [emoji16]
  2. Wow glad everyones ok, that looks like it could have been a lot worse!
  3. I really should get myself down to one of these, although im now supless. But even more reason - keep the spark alive. If anyones passing through shootershill on their way to the next one and has a spare seat going i wouldnt mind a lift - i'll chuck in a bag of haribos [emoji16] its either that or bring the german diesel and park in another car park [emoji16]
  4. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] this has got to be THE best thread on any forum anywhere
  5. Oh my [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]
  6. Nope no warning, mines pre LCI (2006) so the only thing the idrive gives is when its due to be replaced - 50k miles to go. Yeah my average daily drive is about 4-5 miles round trip. Looking at getting a smart car soon.
  7. It redlines at 5500 roughly so its 50%
  8. Lol thanks guys, despite the way it seems in my first post im not THAT tight [emoji14] I get happy when the car goes above 20mpg lol. Although i dont let it stay there too long. Cant say im not driving it how its meant to be driven to be honest, it does get abused, usually in sports mode more than anything else. I just wasnt sure about it sitting in a low gear for that long, bimmerforums had mixed views on it. But sounds like thats the way to go so i'll try taking her for a long drive this weeked - been a while since i done that [emoji16]
  9. Oh really? So whats the point of them then?
  10. How did i miss this? [emoji15] looks interesting - subscribed[emoji16]
  11. I've got a BMW 535d thats been doing ridiculously short journeys recently and it smells like the the particle filters getting bunged up. Really strong carbony smell on most days. According to BMW forums a 30-40 min drive at a constant 2500rpm begins a regen cycle. I did a little test and that means 50mph in 3rd gear - £££ in fuel. Also i dont like the thought of over riding the gearbox into a lower gear to up the reva for that long (at 50mph the rpm is around 1800-2000 iirc). So question is - are dpf cleaners any cop or just a waste of money? Is there any one make that stands out above the rest? Thanks, H.
  12. You obviously dont brake that much [emoji13]
  13. I'd say yellow. The right shade will complement the exterior nicely. I actually thought yellow before i read your post lol
