Yes, agreed. I am surprised the forum rules and moderators allow posters to take down all their content like that. It is to the detriment of all and spoils the forum. Most forums (if you read the 412341244 pages of rules when you join) stipulate the content you post is the "property" of the forum and you can be held to account for it.
Anyway, not my forum and not for me to interfere. But seems rather sad and petty to me.
Back on topic I am going to buy my relays next week :)

Skin a bratwurst and what do you get >? A skinny brat or a bloody patty. Both sound frightful :evil:
Actually I just wanted to fully agree with step_change about the whole property of the forum thing. :thumbsup:

Hi all. Been lurking on the forum for a year now (great resource), and this is my 1st post.

Just wanted a quick check on the salmon relay subject. I've got a March 2016 registered sDrive18i...and wanted to make sure I'm buying the right version of the relays. Can someone confirm its these ones, recently mentioned ? :-

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-BMW- ... 2749.l2649

Also, I assume at 5 years old & 20K miles its worth doing them now as a precaution?

Thanks in advance

Hi, the very first page of this thread has the part number you can check against. As for if it’s worth doing that’s up to you, relays are cheap but roof motor is not :?
