Fuel pump relay, looks fine. Alarm, looks fine. Im cleaning all the connectors as a I go and rechecking, with no change. Next step is the JBE, because pulling the dash apart sounds like such good fun.

Was fine, bit flat now that ive had the lights on for a few hours :D Same issue with no rear brake lights, with tail lights on, with engine running.

Have been screwing with this for last few hours, chasing gremlins and my tail. Plugged it into ISTA, which throws communication issues with the fuel pump control module, the alarm, and the roof module. Only thing actually not working is the tail lights, and they kinda working Pulled out the PDC, number 1 location for Gremlins to live, its bone dry (and was conformal coated a year ago so shouldnt be a problem) and it looks fine. Pulled out the FRM, also looks spotless. My next step was to pull the LH wheel liner out and take a look at the alarm..

Got a head scratcher. BMW E87 Throwing codes 372/345/346 - Brake force display failure Left Brake light failure Right Brake light failure Left Brake lights work fine, with the headlights off, with the headlights on I get no brake lights (still illuminated vis headlights, but no increase brightness). High stop light works fine. Any ideas? Bulbs are fine, replaced both with no change.

Its got one Pre-LCI door trim

Just noticed the door trim on front left!

12 months since the first clean up and ceramic coating, used the rest of the sonax profiline kit up.. the 2nd step gloss coat has run out of propellant so had to cut the can open and do it the old fashioned way. 12 hours later, its pretty shiney. Last application was still beading 6 months later, didnt do the wheels the first time around but did on this go, will be interesting to see how long it holds up.

Whys the 130 parts? I might be keen on the LCI door cards...

The issue really is the "//Motorsport", nomenclature, nothing about this is "motorsport". Massively fast and impressive, but not motorsport. Throw "competition" in as well and it gets even more self depreciating to the brand. Or maybe im just jealous that I cant afford one, well not for at least 3 years, at which point they will have depreciated faster than the brands ethos ?

Yeah it makes perfect sense. The M8 Competition Convertible, for when you and ya M8s wanna go set a lap record at the ring.. with the top down and looking fabulous! Imagine how fast they would be without all the sequins and BS

Monstrously decadent wanker tank

Lots of fakery going on there, its radio controlled and not autonomous. Same thing as her Devill sixteen video, its all B grade fakery. Autonomously backing up with a car cover over any sensors.. oh yup

193 / MV3 - These things.

There is a decent looking set of E91 fitment R193 on faceballs at the moment Edit - Whoops, those are 18 not 17"

That poor car, would be really nice without the 1998 fast4s paintjob.

Without the little BMW badges on centre caps.. neither.

I wonder when the IP lawsuit is coming from Ford..

Some pics of the new M135 ? .

Bump stops and dust boots, they're always dead, lucky if the bumpstops last half the life of the shocks. Top hats while you're there (and they're always dead as well )

Dicky plug/wiring?

Thats sh*t... Id be flicking them an email with a "please explain"

+1 whole 130 is on superpro bushes, no issues and they obviously put some thought into the design of them (compared to others ive seen/used)

How have they failed? torn? any voids in the PU? Weird.
