Exactly. I never go above 3,000ft so I only use 78% nitrogen. I'm lucky that I know someone who can supply this mix at very reasonable rates.

I can probably organise a group buy if anyone's interested.

Not sure anyone is picking up on this. Very well thought out.

I was going to point out the diurnal effects on tyre pressures but decided to pass…

Most people don't see it, but at 8 minutes 51 seconds into the video, it says...april fools!

ChrisFix also has a great blinker fluid replacement video. [url][https://youtu.be/E6GsXhBb10k/url] which may be of special need to bmw owners that dont have working blinkers.

Got me good. Well done. At least you have a sense of humour.

Some of us got it.

They're not always this humourless bud. Must be the stress of the current 'cost of living crisis' this side of the pond!

It can be a struggle sometimes, as I have found many times to my cost!

If you put it into canisters with 'genuine BMW' on, you could make a fortune!

I didn't specify. I knew you would get it. You is a humorous man.

No idea. If I'm too old to know, so are you!

Edi: just got that one.

I also use summer spec, 78% N, windy air to inflate the tires, which IMO is a tad better a high speed. May increase braking distances if it’s of the tailwind type, though.

Marcoose, sorry for continuing the wind up, by way of apology I will send you some tartan paint.
