Hi Jim,

You can't beat early retirement! This is the best job I've ever had! I really don't
know how I found the time to go to work

I also need 4 new tyres. I'm currently running PS2s. I will stick with Michelin.

Has anybody any experience of PS3s, PS4s or Super Sports.

Any recommendations? I've always been happy with the PS2s.

Thanks.

That's right 650/750 rpm.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go at the weekend.

Can someone please remind me how to reset the gearbox learning function on the B3BT.

Thanks

A vote for LV from me, I've been with them the last two years. I was with Aviva the two years before that until their prices started creeping up.
Both companies also recognise the B3 BT coupe on their systems.

Hi Hap, I had my B10 spare wheel powder coated at Colourfast in Grimsby. They made a great job of getting a pothole dent out of the rim but I wasn't impressed with the powder coating it chipped too easily.

I've got a Porsche Boxster space saver wheel and an adaptor to convert it to fit the BMW hub. I've also got a 3 series jack.
Touch wood I've never had to use it! I shouldn't be saying this!

Congratulations Ed, I'm into my 8th year with your sister 104!

Last year I collected my B3 from my local BMW main dealer after it's MOT.
The service manager asked one of the guys to drive the Alpina around to the front. He said "You can't miss it, it's the prettiest car on the lot"
That still makes me smile a year later!

My B3 is not used daily and sometimes doesn't come out to play for weeks at a time. I leave mine permanently connected to the CTEK and just unplug it when I take it out for a drive. You can get a fly lead to connect to the battery with a plug on the end. This makes putting it on charge and disconnec...

Go for it Geoff :D Hi Steve, I've e mailed M-Tec Dynamics in Sheffield as I'm away on holiday at the moment. Hoping to hear from them after the weekend and arrange a visit to view next week when I get home. The parts on the website (Shady's Carbon) look very good but I need to see them in the flesh...

Yes James not figuring on changing it anytime soon! It will be 7 years on October 7th, the day of the Sytner meet. Not as long as you I know! Anne said a year or so back aren't you ready for a change and I said and just what would I change it for? Last week she said, "I don't think you'll ever sell ...
