Refresher on this subject. Ultimately, I decided not to purchase it. It turns out that one suspension airbag and compressor was changed last year, but the NSR bag wasn't. Perhaps an airline was involved; he did offer to take £250 off! The images were, shall we say, flattering, and it was down on its haunches at the NSR. With that in mind, I opted not to take a chance on it due to its bad state and the lack of proof of oil seals being done. To be honest, I couldn't see any indicators, but you can't get under them to inspect. I'm sure there will be others.

Thank goodness neither of them has made it to Devon just yet; luckily, I do have an A3 hybrid on hand just in case.

Plus Night Vision Assist. Apt for use in pub top trumps. Can you tell me if your vehicle has an infrared camera and a dashboard display? Nah, mine has. In my opinion, it's designed to help you locate deer that are hiding in dark places that your headlights can't reach. Unless it's pouring down rain, I seldom go anyplace dark enough to use it, but when it does, it's great for spotting cars up front that would otherwise be obscured by the spray.

By the way, are you in Devon? In case this matters to you, know that this vehicle does not comply with CAZ or ULEZ regulations.

They may even include the most recent maps (or firmware updates for COMAND and DAB, depending on the source) if you're lucky.

The same as before. Furthermore, COMAND is available with DAB and a reverse camera.

Apt specification. First and foremost, I would like to mention the following features: Nappa, Distronic (which is fantastic), Sunroof, Intelligent Light System, Memory Pack, TPMS, and DAB.

I just realised it was poor form to include this in my welcome message; I apologise. The purchase of a 2010 W212 E350CDI estate is almost complete. See the specification sheet down below. Because this is my first MB, I was wondering whether the specs were OK or if there was something plainly lacking. Looking over the several postings, it appears to have decent equipment.

Even on a single panel, my previous e90 would have struggled to achieve a machine shine. "Painted cold?" a man said.

On a budget? Just use 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it off and cover the doors with BMW stripe M decals. For around £200-£250, which includes an electric pressure paint gun that connects to the wall outlet, you could spray wrap the entire thing if you're comfortable with that kind of thing. I get my spray wrap paint from a business called Matt-Pack, by the way. Go ahead and search "DIP YOUR CAR" on YouTube if you're feeling adventurous and want to see some spray wrapping. Spray wrapping is a relatively easy technique that I've been doing for a few years now. Once you have the equipment and are skilled at it, your friends will want you to change the colour of their motor.

A compound and polish may do wonders for the bumper. Aside from rubbing back and painting afresh, there isn't much you can do with crazy clear when the door has had terrible paint before.

Hello everyone! This 318d could end up in my possession. It appears inexpensive, and in some spots it actually is! Would it be possible to do something about this paintwork? Don't think you need to be flawless. Much obliged.

Inexpensive as Camskills may be, be wary of delivery and fitting costs. They do, however, provide a wealth of information on which "A" certified Wet Grip options are out there, so you may choose wisely. Non-runflats are more likely to be grippier and quieter, so savour the comfort!

Whoever you know who is more physically fit...

If you can keep from swerving left and right over the axle, then by all means, go for it.

Much obliged for the response! I'm content to choose non-run flat as I don't perceive any significant advantage to them anyhow! Do you mean I could switch out the front runflats—which are brand new after a pothole disaster—for regular tyres and maintain the back normal tyres? Since the fronts are brand new, I would like not to replace them all at once if at all possible.

I wouldn't put front and rear wheels on the same axle, but it's fine otherwise.

Are non-runflats places you'd be open to visiting? If that's the case, I'll go that path; in the twelve years that I've had my E91, I've avoided runflats for the most part. Last time, I splurged on Costco's Goodyear Asymmetrics.

Greetings everyone, Apologies, I searched, but I couldn't seem to locate a clear solution. In 2008, I owned an E91 Edition M Sport. The front features Bridgestone Potanza S001 Run Flats, while the rear features a combination of inexpensive brands that are evidently impacting the handling. Finding something suitable in the right size—255/35/18—has been a real challenge for me while looking to replace the rear tires with ones that match the fronts. When I had an e90 edition m sport in 2013, run flats in less popular sizes were easy to get by. Now, it appears like they're much difficult to find! Could someone please give me some advice on what to do or what tools to use? Can I obtain a tyre of a different size, please? Should I not combine run flats with non-run flats? I believe I'm correct in saying so. In advance, I appreciate it.

My 2022 HEV (before the facelift) had headlights that I wasn't too fond of, especially the dip beam. I used Osram Nightbreaker HB3 light bulbs as a replacement. Even though they weren't at all like the HID/halogen setup on my old Saab 9-5 Aero, the noticeable difference made them tolerable.

verify their proper alignment first. Verify that the headlight adjustment is in the ZERO position. For the money, upgraded halogen lights are a great choice. Purchasing a brand-new set of LED headlights that meet all four specifications is the only method to legally use LEDs. Reason being, in the UK, it is not permissible to retrofit your existing headlights with high-intensity discharge (HID) or light-emitting diode technology.

For extra-bright halogen lights, be sure to check their rated hours. They could be something you swap out frequently.
