Built in bum and hand warmers hats etc will be used the next crisp day I'm not at work
I'm in a tier 3 area as part of Lancashire so it's advised I shouldn't leave the area unless I have good reason
I do have a bit more range than 5 miles though hopefully Wales will have it cracked soon and re-opened

Congratulations on the new purchase and welcome to the forum from a fellow 35is owner. Theses cars are so much fun to drive, just be careful this time of year with the roads being damp and slippery, Perhaps a little less lead In the right foot

Thank you, I don't think i'll be taking it to its full capabilities for a while yet, steady driving until I get honed in to the RWD with so many horses

I'm guessing you've seen mine then with it's black roof, changes the look of the car for the better I think

Well I'm still smiling but......
2nd trip to my local bmw spares department today.
1st trip was following advice to purchase and replace the salmon relays for the lid controls - cheap preventative maintenance and 10 minute swap over, the original 2010 relays were still in the car but I have to say the looked as new as the replacements except for the date code
2nd trip, yesterday on my journey home from work I get a warning on the dash to replace O/S rear indicator bulb, no problem I'll sort that when I get home I thought. A quick look at the indicator and straight away, thats not good.
Checked the prices last night for a complete rear light unit, could've saved £50 but ended up collecting one on the way home tonight ready for swapping over tomorrow. A cheeky request for a discount saved me £25 but still a very expensive bulb swap over.
The car appears to have been kept in a garage and the change in weather has fogged up both rear light clusters, fingers crossed the N/S one doesn't go the same way and dries out over time.
When I get some spare time I'll try some open lamp surgery and see If I can get it going again, not that I expect to use it, just to prove I can do something if the other side goes pop. I'll have a read-up to see if anybody else has managed it first.
Hopefully the car will be tip-top again for the weekend and some dry roads so I can see how many horses I can realease with my right foot
