Yes there is a lip at the base of the wing where a plastic bracket clips it to the sill. A quick way to see if there is much rust there is to remove the fuel tank filler unit, this will allow you see what it’s like on that side. If you do decide to remove the sill from the wing you will require...

That looks reasonably good from the photos. I spent some time last year treating the underside of my coupe with Lanoshield,great stuff for preventing any corrosion getting worse. I would also suggest you check the base of the rear wings where they meet the sill that runs under the door. In my...

Thanks both.

Morning All I’ve had a search on this subject but can’t fine anything from the last few years. Any recommendations. Thanks.

Glorious day, Classic BMW.

Looking Good

Hello All We were up north back in September on a very hot day. We parked up for an hour and returned to our E86 Coupe it started fine but it immediately it became apparent it was only running on,probably 4cylinders. The engine management light was on. I continued for a few miles then stopped...

I did this a few years ago with bilt hamber rust treatment. Those long flexible pipes are great for this.

Hi Sorry, I didn’t make that very clear. The plastic joining section is the bracket used to connect the rear wing to the side skirt. Over time the plastic hardens and loses its flexibility. I had to use wire cutters to release the plastic section that slots through the holes in the wing...

Weeks after I got my Coupe I used the windscreen washer and when I got home discovered I had last both headlamp washer caps. Then I discovered the cost of replacements so after fitting them, with a little silicon, removed fuse 40 and its been like that for years. No MOT issues.

Just for the record, these reflectors are available from BMW for around £24, so can probably pass on the pair for sale on eBay for £200.

5 ltrs is cheap as chips once you consider how much it dilutes down and how versatile it is. Used it to clean the roof fabric on my E85, it’s very effective :thumbsup: Sadly chips are cheap anymore 😔. It’s a great product, I use it for loads of things around the garage and house.

Cheers, I’ll give that a go.

Hi All I appreciate it's a long shot but does anyone have either a passengers side or pair of bumper reflectors for a face lift E86/85. Thanks.
