Re: Front lights Halogen/Xenon

Easiest way to tell if the car has xenons is to see if it has the pop-up headlight washers in the front bumper [emoji106]

Re: Check your springs guys!

Yeah they have lowered a bit, I'll stick up some pics once I get a few miles on them.  H&R quote 1.2 inches, from previous experience I'd expect to see just over two inches

Yes I've previously had broken springs on e46, e90 and e91!  Along with several cracked rims it does make you wonder!

Check your springs guys!

So a week or so ago I reversed off the drive, full lock only to be greeted with a loud metallic 'boing' noise!  Knew instantly the spring had snapped. Ordered a replacement pair (H&R) and had it in the garage today for fitting. Turned out BOTH the front springs were broken, one fresh (last week)...

But, no sound?  The radio doesn't mute and the phone audio does not come through. Weird?  Every other bmw I've owned just works, even my previous x5 was not a problem. I'd assu...
