  6. If its got a bad gearbox now I wouldn't touch it. I have a mech insurance on my 318 and have claimed a couple of times. I rang the company they gave me a list of people I could take my car to and just said tell them to call for order number. Real simple.
  7. I've never heard an interior giggle - what does it sound likeSorry
  8. Bookmarked thanks Just checked and there is a recall on the cat converter Must ring BMW and get me a new one lol edit spelling
  9. My Compact built in Germany has the ///M and 318ti on the back which is standard for this model seeing as how it is a M spec (Motorsport) it also has a badge on the side trim at the doors (motorsport International) which I understand are also from the factory. Dont know how rare these mouldings are but have seen a few in overseas forum, not that many but a few.
  10. One Ti owner to another leave the ///M badge and make the 318 to 328 with the Ti after it and leave the diffuser black because that's how they come from factory. i would leave as sleeper edit spelling

  12. Would kinda like to know if you can use the auto brake pedal and the clutch pedal in the bracket. I sort of like the big brake pedal.

    Nutcase

    And what about the people that are in the right lane being pushed over by some idiot coming sideways at them. There is a time and place for this sort of stuff. If you think this is great then you are one of those lowlifes that cause all the trouble like in Christchurch. That's how you give the car enthusiast a bad name. Boy racers - ha I for one can live without them.
  14. Looking forward to this. Like your other project I enjoy your straight up talk with no BS in the middle. Thanks for thinking of us lesser Mortals who dont have the initiative you so.

  19. No car is made to pull any direction that's just the camber of the roads that do that.
  20. One thing to do (only if you have nondirectional tyres ) is swop the front tyres from left to right - right to left this will show if it is an alignment problem or the tyres have set themselves to pull in one direction. No I'm not kidding you tyres can set themselves up to do the pull to one side thing. If they are directional tyres swop front to rear. The wobble in the steering could be a number of things ranging from bent rim to worn steering/suspension/brake components. This should have been picked up by the alignment guy because you cant do an alignment if the wheel is buckled or steering/suspension components are worn. Going by you saying the steering wheel is not centered I would be concerned that the person that done the alignment might not really have the expertise that they should have. I was an alignment tech for a few years a while back and had a pretty good rep, not blowing my own horn here but I do have a bit of knowledge. With out seeing or inspecting the car no one could really give you a qualified answer to your concerns. The next step I would suggest is to take the car to someone who knows BMW's or someone you trust.
