Re: D5 S

Sorry. I hadn’t realised a RHD UK G31 D5 existed. Just read up and it’s seems like it does. Never seen one for sale or reviewed and just presumed for some reason they hadn’t sold them over here.

Re: F11 D5 or B5 towhook / towbar - availability / removing the diffuser

Before I got this car I was looking at a B5 F11 that didn't have either towbar or roof rails, either I was looking for for mounting bikes etc. The roof bars as a retrofit were hugely expensive and the towbar, as you can see is available with aftermarket...

Indeed, but I must say I much prefer his mineral white to the alpine white of mine.

Re: B5 deposit taken

I did see the price drop too, that made me a little suspicious as I don't think it would have hung around for long at £55.

Re: F10 / F11 Front Control Arms

Nice job Marc.

It amazes me why BMW have to put such a huge mark up on these parts!

I would check who was servicing the car and see if the EGR recall has been done. Other than that check if you can continue a BMW warranty.
