Hey its got a windbreaker in No5 , don't forget to flog that off GoldBCFC style :D
I've already sold the 7 characters off the number plate in true BCFC style to maximise every ounce of profit :D
 
Just washed it ready to go out for a drive somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

Also ordered a Das 6 detailing machine/kit ready to give the car a good going over :thumbsup:

New stuff arrives tomorrow new suplex rear springs and seat belt guides for my m3 E46 seats FF857ABC-BDF0-47E6-B451-4F82B27EF0C0.png08DD1522-086C-4F31-B482-F39B92845D46.jpeg

Do the seatbelt supports work?
I kind of want to push the belt away from my neck. I looked at these and dismissed them because the belt would still chafe on the neck.

to a degree helps keep belt from falling behind the seat but the belt can slip out a bit to easy when putting belt on only just fitted them so will let you know with regards to chaffing :)
 
Snapped the brake bleed nipped in front drivers side caliper, last one to bleed ,totally pizzzd off,caliper off and hopefully drilled and tapped Monday fingers crossed.
 
Had a spin around the Lakes today, no roof down though sadly, was a happy chap when a lady in the car park in Ambleside came across and asked what polish I used, she was very impressed with the shine and finish on the paintwork, makes all the hardwork worthwhile :D :thumbsup:
 
Private plates on, roof wrapped gloss black and missing headlamp washer cover painted (but not yet fitted).

On the downside, my engine check light has come back on again (lambda sensor fault) and I’ve got an exhaust related rattle just above idle - both a legacy of the recent Scorpion exhaust install!

Checked the rear discs for run out as could feel a little vibration on braking, they run out by 0.05mm or about. 002" which I presume is acceptable?

That's fine especially measured that close to the edge.

Fronts were even less, 0.02mm so the vibration is coming from elsewhere...

Have you checked for variation in the disc thickness? The limit for that is only .01mm (E30 but I can't see it being different on an E85)

hi mate I would say not much different maybe a little more clearance but to be honest I only got them to stop the belt disappearing behind the seat and having to search for it behind me also think I will have to mod it some way to stop the belt slipping out of the clip but certainly better than it was :thumbsup:

I guess it's a process of elimination then and checking the usual suspension components/ball joints etc. I'd probably start with the ball joints on the front arms
