Just picked the car up from Pipecraft in Basildon after having the centre resonator removed, it seemed an ideal first mod for me as I didn't fancy the drone that comes with the full backbox delete. Have to say I'm really happy with the result, gives it a subtle but deeper rumble on start, low...

Bear with me as I really am useless :rofl: Heard about the mod, thought even an idiot like me could do this :D Just put car up on mates borrowed ramps and can’t find the valve/pipe. Would this be because it’s not a thing on the 2.3 e89???

I'm just wondering if anyone is interested maybe? I'll be starting from Basildon, (apologies) and just taking the easy route there, (roads permitting) via the A127, M25, M1 and the north circ. Could always stop via South Mimms and London Gateway services to pick up people coming in from...

Bit last minute I know, and I know there are a fair few other things on tomorrow, But If weather ok I may go out for a blast early tomorrow and stop for a brekkie somewhere. Was thinking starting Basildon/Wickford and running out towards Burnham, Bradwell etc. Just in case anyone is bored and...

This is what’s at risk

Has anyone done one with a standard e89? I quite like the idea of a bit of track time to get a better feel of the car without the worry of a ticket or the chance of bumping into a horse off of a blind bend. I'm not out to be a track God, or drive the car to within an inch of its life, I just...

Posted about this the other week. Until the engine temp gets upto speed if i try and accelerate a little bit hard i get the solid yellow engine warning and the car goes lumpy/into a bit of a limp mode. If I stop and swith off, then instantly restart everything is back to normal and warning...

As i'm about to demonstrate, i'm useless :D I've seen a few cars on here and the FB pages that have the nice short stubby aerials fitted and would like to get 1 for mine. I have DAB, does this matter as to which is the correct stubby for me? (see, stupid.) If anyone has a link that would be...

Few more questions from a new owner. Only had the car since Saturday and really loving it so far, I had no idea they are such a fantastic car to drive and I really love the level of kit it has :thumbsup: When I viewed it I did have some thoughts that the rear discs would probably need...

Bugger :o

Hi all, I only registered yesterday in the Newbie section so am a bit green on all things E89 other than the fact I want 1. Now Spotted 1 on an Ebay classifieds ad and it looks a real peach, cracking ad that has been done very, very well in my opinion. The car is an 11 plate, 1 owner with FSH...

Hello all, I've been lurking for a while now and finally thought I'd register. At some point this month I'll be in the market for a weekend/summer car and as the kids have grown up and buggered off I can finally treat myself to something 'I' want 8) Always fancied a convertible but its not...
