Afternoon All,
Hope everyone is well.
So on the weekend picked up a 54 2.5i (£2.5k) Cannot really get better for the money imo, filthy cheap and it's only missing leather somehow, has every other extra on it. Lump and box are mint, Roof motor replaced, new brakes all round, new exhaust (unsure on brand but it looks OE)
Only downsides are it's quite tatty inside, the guy must smoke like 40 a day, absolutely stank.
Anyway so Leather Seats ordered on fleabay for £150 all in (heated ones) so now after some door cards.
Just have a few questions if anyone can point me in the right direction please.
The silver trims are past it, Not really wanting to go down the route of replacing, It seems hard to find a complete set and mixing them could end up with marks etc that don't match and look a bit gippo. Has anyone got a guide at all on removing all the silver trims at all? Going to give it a nice "leather" wrap job but cannot work out how to get the centre parts off.
Also I tried a search for this, I have no clue if the parking sensors are working or intermittent, sometimes in reverse the audible cue is there ( and loud ) and sometimes there is nothing. Bit unsure on where to start. Will be required if my wife is to park it. Kind of sold the idea to her on the basis the car is "fully speccd"
Major downside... 1 Key... Is it worth asking BMW for another key? I get value is in the eyes of the beholder and all but doubtless they are probably £300+
Thanks All.
