Not quite sure how, certainly not following the BMW instructions but after much pressing and releasing of the BT button and key turning it paired.

Well done! I gave up on mine and bought a Bluetooth dongle thing instead (still to fit it though!

)

I thought that was one of those things when the OH goes to the hairdresser. Says it’s fine, pays the bill then gets home and redoes it all again because they don’t like it

I tried numerous times before and couldn't pair it. Think I just lucked out today. Wish I could say exactly how long I held the button for and what position the key was in.

Got the telephone bluetooth working but had less luck with a bluetooth dongle I bought to connect to the glovebox ipod comnection to play music via my phone. Slowly getting there though!

I treated her to her first new battery and a wash today. RAC man recconed the original was still working perfectly. Changed anyway. Hoping my intermittent alarm going of for no reason has gone with it. Time will tell.

Sprayed me Grilles Gloss black. Cost me £3.99 for a can of spray paint. I prefer it to the chrome. Got a Zunsport lower Grille on it's way which will cover up the cracked original. Will post some pics up when I've fitted it.

200 mile round trip around the Cairngorms in blazing sunshine. It was beautiful up here in Scotland today; had the roof down the whole time and didn't need the heat on until around 5.30ish with the sun starting to go down. Stunning roads from Aberdeenshire over to Dufftown, down to Pitlochry using back roads, over to Glenshee, back up through Braemar and Ballater and back home, 8 hours all in with some lunch and walks around the lochs thrown in.

Washed, quick going over with glaze and a wax, then out for a blast...

These wheels have to go, given myself time to adjust, but not feeling them.

Changed pollen filter today and found a nice bundle of leaves lurking behind the old filter

Just polished both headlights, using Tutle wax Lens Cleaner, polishing pads and drill, and I'm really pleased with results. N/S light was really bad but after repeating process 3 times it came up like this...

Just need to keep them like this now.

Next job for this afternoon is replacing electric window cable...

So you’ve taken the 19inches off and replaced with 18s.
I always thought the 326 styles suited it most?
