It's not new but put a sim driver in a real car? Not sure how much IRL drifting he's done.

I think so, guy is being *reasonably* transparent about it and a dollar reserve is probably correct way to go with a car like this.

That is a great vid, Piotr Wieceks S15 is always great to watch, regardless of who is driving - and that sim racer clearly has some talent. Anyone who has no time for the local or American drift antics should watch the Driftmaster series. Between Piotr (who just seems like the nicest guy in motorsport) and James Deane there is some insane talent, with way less over caffeinated fat yanky commentator to ruin your day.

If it's at an authorised BMW workshop then you may need to pay for a full hour of labour, but with that you'll get a description of the fault readout (no you can't get a copy), and a list of remedial parts that may or may not need replacing.

Question of the day - how long does it take to change a lightbulb on a BMW?

I did wonder, Not many with that interior. I drove it when @NZ_InFerno had it and it was a really well sorted car, didn't feel it's mileage at all.

Halo ring bulb replacement on (my former) E91 that I'm titivating - this job is an absolute PIA, with thanks to Jon @Spinner99. Wheel off / liner off / light cover off then dremeling a hole in the bulb housing as they'd made it one time use from the factory. Great to get rid of the dreaded exclamation mark of doom from the dash though...useful PDF guide attached if anyone else needs to tackle this one. E90 Halo Change 3.pdf

Quick shout out to FCPEuro, they arent always the cheapest (sometimes they are) but their service is nearly unbeatable. Back in December I ordered a new Mahle radiator for the 130i, for the impending engine swap (when I eventually get the time to do it!). I opened up the radiator box last month, found it had been bent in shipping. 6 months after I bought it and the damage had been done. Emailed FCPEuro and explained what had happened, they said sweet as sh*t happens - send it back and will sort it. I said, it's not going to be cheap to send a radiator from New Zealand to the US.. their response was sweet as we got the shipping costs. So I ordered a new Mahle radiator and they had stock issues, so got sent a brand new genuine BMW one. Legends. (Also finally got hold of a SMF Valeo clutch kit)
