  1. I know what you mean, but when it’s a response to something they have posted then it becomes a lot more personal. It wasn’t a general “I read this and was offended” type of complaint. Which is kind of why there are forum rules and guidelines. As Dan said I think a lot of it was deliberately provocative, which doesn’t always go down well on the internets as it doesn’t always come across as intended.
  2. Seemed to rub a lot of other members up the wrong way. After a temporary ban from posting managed to get another raft of complaints as soon as he posted again. When I mentioned this to him he didn’t want to be “part of a toxic forum”.
  3. Pretty sure it’s in the forum guidelines somewhere, can’t remember off the top of my head sorry. 4Mb sounds like it’s getting up there in size.
  4. Normally a post with a link instead of photos would be deleted under the forums rules, but as it’s being offered for free and it’s Christmas it can have a “free pass”.
  5. It’s pretty unbelievable, VW cheating on emissions testing is bad enough, but falsifying crash tests, wow! And doing it for so long as well, how have they got away with it? I always thought that crash testing was done by independent (usually government) agencies to stop any fiddling of results.
  6. That’s the thing, if you’re able to do it yourself and/or have contacts to do it “mates rates” it’s a very different value proposition for getting it fixed. Will it be a very lucrative job? Possibly, if you’ve got or got access to parts to replace the damaged bits. Please, please, please let someone who wants to fix it win the auction. Unfortunately it’s also worth a lot of money as parts, which is a much easier job…
  7. Wish I never sold mine, such a good all round car, still look great even now!
  8. No HUD in your wagon? Lots of issues with aftermarket screens with those, glass quality has to be good for the image to show up correctly.
  9. I doubt very much if Smith & Smith have all the right equipment for re-calibrating all the sensors either. Auto lights and auto wipers no biggie, but if you’ve got the adaptive cruise etc it can be a bit more important. Have come across quite a few cases of insurances companies not wanting to pay out to do it properly, some owners have dug in their heels and got the genuine parts in the end, a few haven’t, and a few have had to have the aftermarket screens pulled out and genuine ones put in to get stuff to work.
  10. Yup, that’s the Isle of Man green, on an M3 Touring no less.
  11. Looks to be the one i saw on the back of the tow truck coming up country last week, did’t notice the front damage. I knew that E30 front cut garden ornament would come in handy.
  12. Sad times, but life moves on. @OLLIE no discount for Bimmersport members… pfft!
  13. Lest we also forget the number of people who bitched and moaned about “over” moderation previously. Hence the reason this topic is being monitored but so far has not crossed the line to need moderating.
  14. Message me the VIN and I can have a look for you. BMW has cracked down on a lot of 3rd party systems that were accessing central information which has taken down a number of sites. AFAIK to get the info now it has to be “supplied” ex-BMW for a cost.
  15. Seems to be making a bit of a comeback recently, quite a few people I know have come down with it recently, and pretty bad cases as well. Good job I’m a miserable git the doesn’t like talking to people.
  16. E46 is still a great looking car design, in any shape, and especially in the facelift with MSport. E90 has never been that grate for me, and whilst it is slightly more modern the tech in them is now showing its age. E46 for me every time, and can’t go wrong with the 330d especially for those distances. A 6 speed manual would be the unicorn.
  17. Where’s the love it to bits button for this beauty..?😍
  18. Not a good time to be trying to sell their week-end toys. Where costs are starting to bite quite a few people are looking to cash up the toys. Unfortunately the flip side of this is that there are very few buyers looking for those toys so the market is very flat. Anyone that does have a little cash is in a great position to get something nice for a good price.
  19. This is very tempting for the wife to join the 130i cool kids crew!
  20. Needed a car with a tow-bar on it to pick up some new garden furniture on a trailer. Only car currently with a tow-bar the wife’s mighty E87 116d manual! Using that in rush hour Akl traffic was not fun, crawling along between red lights. I must have got old and become used to “easy” driving.
  21. @musccoo needs a price as per forum rules.
