Nine Year Update: Currently the kidney grills are painted Gloss Black. I lost one entering too hot into a Dairy Queen and the grill on the side with the damaged base popped off and was destroyed. No problems because I had 2 back up sets. Updated the grill mounts with peel and stick velcro...

Lots of stuff about this mod on YouTube. At least you can get an idea of what's inside the BMW back box, and what sort of mods can be done. Many replace the perforated tube with a solid pipe. Some recommend that any mods to the pipes (outside of the back box) be made with 'reversability' back to...

Canada Eh .... Welcome Time for a stubbie ? Cheers Bumpy

You can get "vanity plates" in Ontario, Canada. With some consternation and approval from the kids here is mine. It means Treat Yourself.

:thumbsup: Once the "Cosmetics Chest" is loaded into the boot, you will have just enough room left over for a pair of shorts and socks. Plus an 'early start' aka 'Arse in Seat' will never be before Noon (ie Just in time to find a place for lunch.) Touring with The Wife has no resemblance to...

I had mine done May 15, 2019. The Dealership needed the Zed for most of the day.
