Hi and welcome! Symptoms a bit like the roof issue I had as documented here resolved by replacing two micro sensors as is described. Unfortunately they can just wear out with age. When it first happened I moved the rear glass section down by lifting it back in place (it wasn't fully secure...

Sorry to say - but that wheel is likely of no use to anyone as it is too far gone. That is unless they are looking to make a coffee table out of it or something!

I presume you have the standard CIC iDrive system, but I had no luck trying to pair Mrs F's iPhone 16 on my 2012 car either. I went up and down the scales, updating the telephony firmware to latest version etc. but gave up in the end as she only drives the car once in a while anyway (no...

Yes - but it was better to drive which matters more!

When you say light restoration, presumed that you were just restoring the lights 😆 Looks like a heck of a lot of work but you obviously know what you are doing as you've been around them long enough. I had a turbo version (import) back in the day and owned for a good few years but never did...

Sound markedly similar to my issue as on this thread. Fixed with microswitches but as @RobbiZ4 says - you are now looking at least around £130.00 per side for these. I dread to think what an indie would charge for this sort of fix and that's presuming they can even correctly diagnose it in...

There will be a label inside your door jamb There will be a label inside your door jamb showing the required pressures for your car. These suggested pressures are not dependant on tyre construction, so are the same whether your using runflats or not since the primary purpose of the air in...

Well I can trump the £130 above as I paid £168.05 each 😲 Bought from LLL Parts and assuming posted from Germany (and forwarded to their UK branch to deliver). I did first try a BMW online dealer but items were coming back as out of stock. Price hike is inline with what @RobbiZ4 reported back...

Nice wheels if as stated, no cracks. What finish is on them? Can't quite tell with the light but they look darker than factory silver. Might be interested (although those tyres would have to go).

N20 owner here. Reasons to get one over a 6 pot might be economy. As @NS66 has noted, there's an extra 100 miles on a tank of fuel as compared to the 2.5 or 3.0, the 28i is quicker to 60 than both of them and you also pay £135 less in annual VED. I would also add that the chain guide issue is...

Brexit.

Ha ha ha :) I rest my case!

'Terrified' lol - that's not good! I've had the car two years now and only do a couple of thousand miles a year. This is made mostly made up of lots of short journeys into the nearest town as I live in a small village so it's effectively my runaround. Every opportunity taken to have the roof...

Apologies but have you actually tried to fit them into an E89? Alternatively did you use Google etc. to at least check if they might?

There is a recent drive to further clamp down on mis-spacing which you may have got away with in the past! See here for example.
