Looks like Marise and me are not going to be able to make it. I have a tyre pressure warning light on but can't get one of the centre caps off to check the pressure of one of the tyres. I've doused it with WD40 and am hoping it enables me to get the thing to release - fingers crossed.

I assume E90/91/92/93 will be part of the recall but will BMW have the details of the Alpinas?
