Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

You've got the right idea with a photo in your first post, but sadly the link didn't work for me.

The 30i N52 engine in your E89 is a great motor, so an annoyed lovely lady may be a price worth paying!
Coupes because stunning!

Welcome aboard.
At least your better half is annoyed for the right reasons.
You'll end up like me, buying her one of her own. :roll:

Have another go at the pictures.

    That looks great OP. :thumbsup:

    Assuming they are Style 295s I had a set on my previous E86, and they were really easy to clean!

    Yes; do some regularly! :thumbsup:
    Welcome to the best car forum of modern times (there used to be better ones but they all went onto Facebook) :D
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    F31 320i. Good car.
    E89 20i Now fully dried
    Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
    Mazda3 sold
    Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
