I took out the binnacles and did them in full (no wrap, actual carbon)

Yesterday i went to have a look at this; https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... ership/url]

I was there for quite a while and got quite excited, it was a great looking E89 it had great spec and excellent condition. As i stood there pondering i looked over at my zed and it was like she was staring at me with an angry look!

So i decided to shelve the idea for another day.

On the way home the zed drove absolutely perfect, it seemed even better than the drive over

I don't think my zed wants to let me go!

Added some metal pedals with a wing on that helps heel and toe improvement.

Sounds a very good reason to keep what you have

Nonsense Bart, that’s less than 125,000 miles.
It just goes to show mileage is no impediment to having a great car

My understanding is that in the UK we have 100k miles as the "scary cut off point" where the market - rightly or wrongly - sees a car as very high mileage and undesirable.

My understanding is that in Europe it is 200k kilometres that has that same scary psychological affect on the market.

Nice to have a decent set of grippy pedals . I was expecting more of a sticking out wing from the title though
