Well the first part of your post was a shock mate, but I'm encouraged to see it's onwards and upwards for you.
Hope you soon find 'the one'.
Definitely don't disappear, you've been a valuable and supportive source of information, help and encouragement to me, and no doubt others as well.

Right back at you bud- thanks for being on the end of the phone!

I'll be back- the BMW bug doesn't go easily!

Just need to find that 3 litre

Just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's.
Happy to be rid of the run-flats!

Nearly had a disaster when the floor mat slipped onto the accelerator pedal, because the velcro stuff on the mat is useless, so I bought some of these fittings. I used a holesaw to cut the holes in the mat. They work perfectly and look professional..

They look very similar to the OEM ones that used to be in the E36 and other models of that era. Have you got a link to where you got them from ?

You can get them even cheaper off Aliexpress.

Cheers I think the rear looks more aggressive and filled out now with the fully red lights. Just need to work out how to get the indicators to flash orange again :rofl:

Green bulbs. If you find some, let me know!

I can't find any either :thumbsdown: it appears the only option is to paint some clear bulbs with green glass paint or try some extra bright orange LED bulbs :?

Try some bright YELLOW ones. I bought them from the UK company "Auto Lighting", but I cannot find them there anymore. Their description was "Indicator LED Car Bulb 382 581 16W High Power P21W PY21W YELLOW, YELLOW (Amber), PY21W (BAU15s), 2 pieces".

On the left hand a very bright yellow led, on the right hand an OEM bulb:

Thanks for the suggestion. Are these the ones you have? https://www.auto-lighting.co.uk/product-eng-11186-2pcs-Indicator-LED-Car-Bulbs-16W-High-Power-P21W-or-PY21W-YELLOW-AMBER.html

They do look pretty similar, but I am 100% sure that I did not receive them on this HQ labelled cardboard.

This is what I got last year:


I would however suggest to give it a go and return if not satisfied.

great thanks, i'll give them a try. Did you get a bulb error code on the dash with these?

 

[Mau]

Nope, no error codes whatsoever, also no coding needed whatsoever.

[Grumpy owld git]

Retro fitted cruise control. For what it costs, and with the plug already there, I can't understand why BMW didn't just fit it as standard in the first place.
