My M140i was due to go to BMW on Tuesday for them to look into the wobbly rear rims. Just had a call from them to say that the appointment will be chargeable and the wheels will not be covered under warranty. Cnuts!
well that’s £120 for them to agree that the wheels are wobbly.
Don't knock it Rich - this will be confirmation of wobbliness from a Professional. You might even get a wibbly-value from them.

Holy crap, tailgates are heavy. I think the last time I took one off it was my Cinquecento and that weighed next to nothing. Going to need a couple of helpers to test fit I think. Weighing up whether to keep or lose the spoiler.

The black tailgate will look good against the white car. Can you source a black bonnet too?
(impressive parts purchase, well done)

keep. Daft spoilers and stuff are essential on JDM cars, especially if they are not appropriate to the type of car.

Tandem garage, you literally have to climb over stuff to get from one end to the other.

You're too kind sir. How would one like payment?? Revels or Scottish £1 notes?

when you have a full time job, family, endless diy projects, hobbies with large equipment to store, a social life, no time and can only afford a normal garage rather than a huge barn big enough for everything that’s what happens...
I’d love to sort mine, but it’s way down the list.

Word. 7 years mine's been getting progressively worse. Still, next project starts in a few weeks and I *have* to clear the garage out. This also means clearing out the big shed at the bottom of the garden. I have no idea how achievable it will be, and I get the sweats thinking about it
