    Coil spring confusion.

    Just had a front spring snap, so I want to replace them all with Suplex I think (Msport for the 3.0). I'm pretty sure the rears are 06231, but what about the fronts, I'm seeing both 06248 & 06249?

    Power steering problem.

    My power steering works perfectly on initial start up but if I turn the ignition off after a drive (short stop for petrol, shops etc.) sometimes on restart it's not working. Leave the car for a couple of hours and on start up it's working ok again. Ideas?

    Trye pressures?

    So the manual says 33/front, 36/rear for 225/45/17, obviously that's runflats, is it the same for non-runflats? Mine were 28/front, 30/rear (only had the car for a few weeks and first time I've checked), I've pumped them to the recommended psi and feel the handling has gone a bit skittish.

    Keys.... holding charge.

    Both my keys are not holding charge, one is a lot worse than the other, obviously it's not the normal replacement battery scenario for most cars so what are my (cheap) options? Really don't want to be going down the route of 2x replacement keys from BMW.
