Hi all, going to be fitting some winter wheels (nice ones off a top bloke, forum member) 18" to my F15 3.0D sport this weekend with help from my friend who is a mechanic. He has asked me to find out what size the wheels nuts/bolts are and what torque you tighten them up to please. I checked nut...

Re: Current road speed limit sign on dash

I have this on my heads up display also, had to fiddle a bit with options to get it up. It works really well and I would say its bang on 95% of the time. I don't have front camera so it works from the what evers behind the mirror inside the car.

shocks front

Hi all. Had my car in for its MOT and end of AUC warranty check yesterday. Noticed when driving my car on bad road surfaces and having window open that there is a slight squeak coming from front right some where. Also does it sometimes when you press the brake pedal. Went out for drive with a BMW Te...
