Wow. Got around to this yesterday after a full fluid change. I can not believe that this little thing can have such a profound effect on how the car drives.

It’s a completely different experience. Brilliant 😎👍 :driving:

Does anyone have any suggestions for anyone (helpful forum member or garage) in East Anglia / Norfolk area?

I had mine in for a service at STR in Norwich who are a supposed BMW specialist last week and they had never heard of doing it! :roll:
