Filth 5 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 Can anyone recommend anything decent? Preferably a wind shield mount that extends to the left side of the steering wheel or if anyone has any other good options - suggest away! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Not bad - have you got this or a iPhone car mount in yours?No, I've got the standard armrest with no space for the cradle (and I've only got a 3GS!).It looks very cool but I've got other priorities at the moment (like keeping the engine running!! haha).

Yeah I hear you on that one - not sure if you would have been following my posts for the past month but my car is finally running mint! Replaced cylinder 4 engine coil and my god... I'm scared of how quick the thing is now lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Replaced cylinder 4 engine coil and my god... I'm scared of how quick the thing is now lol Good stuff. Mine too (though there's always more to do). I replaced all the coils when I bought it and have now done all of the vacuum hoses and fixed oil leaks in the rocker cover gasket, oil level sensor and dipstick. Engine looks very tidy and is performing well though I wouldn't mind a bit of low end acceleration - most of my driving's around town so not too worried about top speed. Thinking of looking for a replacement diff with a higher ratio... But that's somewhere in the distant future. Main focus at the moment is the interior. Need to put the original driver's seat back in so the correct memory module is there (to clear an airbag fault) and want to recolour (either restoring the black or to cinnamon) the leather. All in all though, very happy with mine. She's looking (almost) new again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine there would be a heap! I'm so jelly of your headlights... they are so clear! I took the headlight cleaner kit to my car and it worked but needs more - especially now that I have new angel eye LED markers in there :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't mind a set of these but can't really justify the cost when the ones I have are fairly mint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Not sure if they do one for 5 yet but probably will soon.Might have to wait a while for that one, thanks to Apple changing the format of the connector, and the interfaces and the way they work through the connector, and not telling anyone they were going to do it, and not telling the techies at BMW so they could start working on an in-car solution.
