probably was about time the E89 had its own space, altho there has been good grace allowing for posts on the E85/86 pages for some time…Bombur said:
I will now slide off and find something electric to post or I fear Peter will start shaking his stick more… whilst I do, here’s a picture of a wheel

If you have a question..ask? :tumbleweed:
Compared to older cars (pre 2000?) I have often thought that modern cars including E89s are “over servo’d”. My right foot has become accustomed now that I don’t have a pre 2000 alongside but will a BBK change that feeling?

It’s all relative…compared to Audis I’ve had the E89 servo assistance seems ‘normal’….we’ll have to see what gives once they are bolted on and taken for a drive…further complication on the E89 is there is specfic coding to support BBKs of certain types in the VO :tumbleweed: :driving:
Modifying my reverse camera i fitted.
Bought and fitted the number plate light version but looks silly off centre.
So made a new bracket, painted to match car colour and will fit, if it stops raining for half hour.
Fit in centre above plate and shielded by shape of bumper.
Off course when i pulled masking tape off lens it pulled some paint off, why can't anything be perfect first time.
Still won't be noticed after a day.

I learnt to drive on father's Humber Septre. Move brake pedal 2 inches like dropping an anchor.B21 said:therealmc said:B21 said:Spent a snowy afternoon calculating the impact of changing front and rear discs, calipers including my new rear BBK and their impact on front / rear brake ratios aka brake bias and impact on master / slave cylinder ratios… :rofl:
