Another mod done

[pvr]

No - I meant the Halo rings rather than the older cars that had the side lights ...

If I can keep the wallet and "ooh shiny" disorder under control, the mod bug is calling me to put LED lighting in for all indicators, side lights, brake lights and possibly fog lights if suitable high intensity bulbs exist

Door handles too - inside and out - so you can have puddle lights and if you put in under-body Alpina Blue neon as well then your 'Ooh Shiny' disorder - henceforth OSD - may be assuaged (for a short while)

No need to thank me...

Nope - got sidelights and halogen headlights.

Get a torque wrench - essential bit of kit, especially for the smaller bolts

There is no way that I would do the nuts without a torque wrench. Way too many sheered bolts posts ...

Yep, torqued to 35nm. Torque wrenches are cheap and invaluable. It was an easy job.

Have you driven the car to see if it makes a difference?

Based on the run up to Gloucester via some twisties I'd say the car feels more solid. Not sure how much flex there is in a roadster compared to a coupe, but I'd suggest BMW should have made it a standard figment.

That is about the value he will get for his #69 :evil:

There's another roadster s on AUC for 16850. Assuming they want to make about 3k on them and the fact that although mine is slightly higher mileage mine is a more desirable colour I'm not accepting less than 13950 for her. That would make it a 10k cost to change and that's the number I have in mind. That's assuming this 3.5is drives ok.

Impressive, but good luck with the test drive :driving:

Good work that reminds me I have to turn mine around still.
