It's very noticeable. It feels like a normal manual gearbox now.

Nah. Someone just stuck a BMW badge on a Hyundai, that's a rip-off of an E-class. Then they bumped into a classroom and the heating radiators got stuck on the front.

Antony here, new to the forum, not to BMW. I currently have a 2010 116i. Use to have an E46 323ci, 750il 2002. have always loved them. Have so much bmw merchandise

I have avoided taking pictures for the sake of my blood pressure, but seeing as you asked so nicely the next time it's not pissing down I'll grab some. At least I'll have pics for the camp fire when I'm 80 reminiscing about that time I had a v10 family wagon that I let a blind painter spray.....

Makes me want to see some pics now

There’s a kit on Spareto with conversion to single mass as well. Valeo, €442.

The dual mass flywheels can't be machine reliably. And they are expensive to replace. But the guys a few pages back said it is the most comfortable. The single mass flywheels are much cheaper and have more of a sporty feel to it. But you can suffer from vibration etc. The clutch kits themselves don't matter too much. All three brands are well known and good.

The bigger the sticker the more hrsprs

I finally got a follow up from the assessor today regarding the piss poor panel and paint recently completed on the M5. I guess I still live under that stupid assumption that there is some form of professionalism in the world, and that when a highly rated paint and panel shop makes a huge f*ck up that they will stand behind that crazy guarantee that everyone loves to throw around and fix their work. The Classic Cover assessor has been fantastic, the duration of this process has nothing to do with him and everything to do with Takapuna Panelbeaters who when held accountable for their work flat out refused to remedy anything - noting that this was all done via the assessor, I was not some emotional customer going in and ranting at the owner. Long story short Classic Cover will reclaim the money that went to them and I have to start over and find a reputable (starting to think such a thing does not exist) repairer to fix this disaster. As much as I want to troll the living daylights out them it's not going to change the situation, other than the ongoing reminder of a sh*t job every time I look at the car it could be worse. Everything happens for a reason, and in my experience karma normally takes care of the rest. So f*ck them, I'm not telling anyone to stay away from that crowd but I'm certainly never going to recommend them.....try Hire a hubby, they do painting and probably a better job. Back to square one FFS this is just a bump in the road, soon enough it will be fixed.
