Greetings - new member

Well, I've been a member for a while as I researched this car ... after quite some time looking I finally found the car I had been waiting for ... An 2011 E89 3.0i Roadster MSport in Alpine white, with Kansas red leather interior, iDrive, 19 inch alloys, etc. - 34k on the clock. The only thing it doesn't have is heated seats ...I am sure I will one day rectify that!

I'm still learning about bits and pieces of the car and spent the long weekend cleaning and getting the car just my way

I am thinking the first thing I need to do - at some point - is replace the run flat tyres, I'm rather scared of getting cracks in the alloys! (326M)

Cheers

Christopher

Welcome, if replacing tyres you may want to go up a size on the profile ,it will give a little more side wall cushioning and fill the arches better, if Mr Wilks comes along he'll be able to give specifics

Hi and welcome - good to see some photos as I do like red leather seats!

I like the 3 litre N52 engine too - I hope you have been enjoying yours!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try and get some more pictures once I have finished fettling and cleaning. Discovering new things about the car every day!

Turns out I have the 10 speaker setup with DSP etc. - didn't know it was an option when I bought it - so that was a pleasant surprise

Cheers

It's a great feeling getting an extra treat you didn't expect, like those rare occasions when one finger of the kitkat is solid chocolate

Today I took each wheel off in turn, cleaned them thoroughly - inside and out - and looked for cracks - relieved to say I couldn’t see any. Some kerbing but I guess it’s to be expected. I also fitted new wheel bolts as the ones there were quite rusty ... I guess this counts as my first mod

I also discovered that the centre “BMW” inserts - which appeared to be delaminating - we’re actually still covered in a thin film of plastic - which pulled off and restored the centres to pristine
