Still working on the picture uploading thing :headbang: I'm new to forums haha!

Can't seem to get photo bucket working from my iPad, does anybody know of any alternatives?
 
I know that it won't help, but Photobucket works fine in my iPad. Can you get the pics I to Photobucket?
 
Hi Tom, and welcome here :)
Nice coupe you have, almost the same than mine (black sapphire, 50k miles, 2 years ownership) and we're almost the same age, lol.

Bentley motors? that must be an interesting place to work. Would fancy a nice Continental GT V12 if I could afford it one day... 8)

DISA unit checking

Any reason for you to check the DISA? It seems our N52 engines are almost free of DISA related issue?

Z4M brake disk upgrade and fitting
Click to expand...
That is very interesting, as I would be looking to upgrade the braking system on mine sooner or later.
Is it only the brake disk you have replaced? Is it just easy as a swap with the normal disk or does it involve more?
 
Hi and welcome. Looks great in black - you will have to get up one hour earlier at the weekend to wash it!

Looks very nice. Enjoy! :driving:

(I prefer the wheel roundels on the first pics!)
