I have a small patch on the plastic front bumper where the lacquer seems to have lifted and created a bubble. I've seen a couple of DIY video repairs on You Tube, but the results seem too good to be true. Anyone attempted a similar repair, or have any magical tips?? TIA

Auto in Melbourne Red with a black interior. I-Drive screen Heated Seats Parking Sensors (Front & Rear) ~60K Miles, fully stamped service history (Early main dealer, then independent BMW specialist) New battery. Rear brake discs and pads (Brembo) replaced 1K Miles ago. We have a new grandson...

I only use my car once a week on average and noticed it's been a bit sluggish to start recently. Just got the multi-meter out and it's showing 11.7v which I think is pretty grim. Can't see a date on the battery, but suppose it could be original! I've changed loads of batteries in the past, but...

Silver is just a word that boring people use to make grey sound more interesting! Then again I do have some form for switching wheel colours.

Not totally sold on these, but think they will grow on me. Well made and easy to fit.

New MAK (Italy) 18" wheels have transformed my car. I was on the verge of letting it go this year as the ride in the 19" run flats was a bit too harsh for my old body. Can't believe the transformation!

It's actually the visual inspection, no idea if you can reset this yourself!

Close ups of the individual wheels. And price reduced!

When the car was serviced last by my local indie he asked if I wanted the check up completing. He caught be off guard and I thought £40 for a visual check up was unnecessary given the detail of care I give the old girl so I declined his offer. Now when I start the car the Service lights up for...

My new black wheels arrive today, so now is the time to try to find a buyer for my existing genuine BMW 326M 19" wheels. No evidence of any cracks or repairs. Sold with tyres and TPMS valves (all currently working fine). Full set of matching Bridgestone (RF) tyres, rears have only done around...

New wheels should be arriving soon, complete with new TPMS valves that have already been coded to the vehicle. Is there anything specific I need to do with iDrive when changing the wheels or will it automatically recognise the new wheels in the correct locations? I assume there's a separate...

Pretty sure these are the TPMS valves. Wheel Base have offered to fit 4 new ones for £100, probably the easiest solution. My 326s look in pretty good condition and they have almost new Bridgestones on the rear. Hopefully they will sell pretty quickly so I don't have my wife asking awkward...

In the hope of improving the ride quality, I'm looking at replacing the 19" 326 wheels with aftermarket 18" version with NRF tyres and just have a couple of questions. 1. Anyone used Wheel Base Alloys, or have any other recommended suppliers. 2. The package they are offering comes with fitted...

This just showed up as click-bait and I was wondering if anyone has ordered from them: https://ultracarmats.com/ Not too sure if they would improve the Zed or not! :rofl:

What are the groups thoughts on mixing RF and NRF tyres Front & Rear? When I bought the car last year it failed the MOT on rear tyres so the dealer fitted 2 new RFs. Fronts are now getting marginal, so I was considering fitting NRFs in a vain attempt to improve the ride on the 19" rims. Not...
