OP is in the USA so might be tricky/expensive. There's a fair amount of stuff on eBay though surely?

Nice road bike! Here's mine: Scott Foil Premium with a RRP of £10,999. I cut corners when buying bikes though (in the same way I do with cars) so paid a fraction of the new price. Chap purchased on a Cycle to Work Scheme, making it tax efficient for him, but then did less than 1K miles...

OK, there must be different 'scales' in use then. I got the info from here

OP's spend increases circa 5 fold if all the advise here is heeded! Isn't Stage 1 adding about 33 bhp? If so, can't see how that requires anything radical be done outside of common sense maintenance.

My own understanding is that it need not be complicated if all you are after is Bluetooth. See this old thread here but implication is that you simply need to swap out your head unit for a newer version - Bluetooth became standard from the 2012 model. Shame resident expert @AnubisZed is not...

Car looks lovely but looking forward to seeing some up to date photos. That one is 5 years old and the lawn is not parched enough for it to be current!

Don't agree with splitting them. Rears would likely sell, but no one is generally after fronts which tend never be problematic so OP would then be stuck with them. There are loads of front 326's permanently for sale on eBay. Also - there is a fair bit of work needed to ship wheels outside of...

Yes but the phone makes a connection but times out before getting opportunity to enter a 4 digit number.

Wondering how OP got on? Now also tried with an iPhone 17 - they talk to each other but at the point where the phone is meant to generate a code, it just ends up timing out (so same as with the iPhone16). Also in our case, would be a nuisance deleting ALL existing connections from the phone...

Front suspension refresh - Bilstein B8 + Suplex M Sport equivalent spring. MOT advisory 'corrosion' on the rear shocks so I did those a few weeks back. Then you may as well do the fronts but waited until weather cooled as trying to remove stubborn nuts in 30 degrees plus heat means you end up...

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...
