776 days smoke free for me (I have an app for that!) and lovin' it. So, just over two years. I've saved about $13,975 (at the old price of ~$20 per pack) which is a real bonus. I love every minute of being smoke free and have no desire or temptation to ever smoke again. I feel guilty if I wake up having dreamed about smoking but also relieved that is was only a dream. Food tastes better, beer tastes better! And nowadays with the level of social isolation expected of smokers it's great that I don't have to leave a social setting just to go and have a cigarette. Can't believe it took me over 20 years to decide to kick the damn habit. There's noting at all good about smoking but i couldn't see that (through the smoke) when I was a smoker. I can assure people that you don't need cigarettes to cure boredom, do something with your hands or relieve stress - they're just excuses to avoid the effort of quitting.

Hi all, still searching for motorsport front and rear bumpers for my 94 coupe- doesnt matter about colour, preferably relativley good knick and with lower lip on front bumper. cheers

hey, I'm impressed with 470,000kms, Dion!

Yes, but not for S52 or S50, only S54 (because bottom end bearings were designed or manufactured poorly). The reason is that at the time, and even still today, HTHS is not a headline value on oil packaging and in some cases can't even be found, consumers might have a hard time getting the correct data to make their decisions. Since a quality 60 weight oil is guaranteed to have a (very) high HTHS rating it's also assured of being in a very safe range. I somewhat doubt a 60 weight oil or a HTHS of over 5 cP is required for the S54 but it's considered "safe" by BMW and I'd not recommend against it when it's advised by the manufacturer.

Thanks Rohan!! Maybe I should post up a picture of the TRX run flat blow out I had?? Regards Barry

Use Castrol edge 0w-60 or 0w-60 TWS. I'd replace oil ASAP if I were you. My old car is a testament to using the right oil. ~470,000km S50b30 on Castrol edge 0w-60. 10w-40 is too thick.

The anniversary of giving up smoking for "LIFE" comes around again in 7 days time. Did I help anyone else give up ? I hope I did. If your a smoker, will you please read this thread. If you have had similar experiences that you would like to add to help others, please share so others can understand. Please contribute here maybe there will be others our experiences may help. It's not easy, but sharing and talking about it shore helps.

Don't buy any bmw with a n42 or n46 engine.
