Automatic gearbox advise

something which it appears cannot be said of your own posts, judging by a brief flick through them.

care to elaborate?!?

But its true, I (apparently, and sadly) spend some of my time correcting the mistakes in your posts you present as 'facts'.
If someone had to do that to my posts, I would say the same things you do as a last attempt to save my face.
You know, wrong info about diff ratio's and headlights, and not be man enough to admit that the info was not quite correct and consequently make some childish claims about how thats not quite worth my time because "I'm better and my posts are all good for the forum" and the guy who corrected me only has non constructive balony posts....

Start acting your age man!

Wrong issue about headlights? Do tell..

Op, apols for the hijack...

You still think that:

Pre facelift cars were never supplied with clear repeaters in the UK..

Where bmw them selves say differently?
They even have an option code for it (S785A). The parts are all there in the ETK...

Yup, as I thought, no mention of headlights by me there. Jog on. Jim Henson would've probably considered you one of his finest creations...

Repeaters aren't headlights!

How about exhaust pipe trims? I think pre-facelift have oval trims & post-facelift have round ones? (3litre cars)
I'm not arguing about it though!

I think the repeaters are the indicators in the headlight?
And the roundels on the side are also white on option code S785A.
And so are the indicators in the taillights.

So I still have no idea what he's talking about when he says that pre facelift cars were never supplied with clear repeaters in the UK, when option code S785A was availabe.

Oh dear, get it wrong did we??? How unlike you, not..

The indicators in the headlights are just that, indicators..

Repeaters are - Side indicators, so called as they "repeat" the flashing of the front and rear indicators. Mind you, I think I'll start calling you a "repeater" or maybe just "Mini Marius"

So then you're seriously meaning/saying that cars sold in the uk with option code S785A had orange roundels?
Is that it? BMW fitted clear headlights but didnt place white roundels even as that is a generic part (not UK/rhd specific) and has been available for as long as the z4 has been produced? (AND are also listed as parts in the rhd ETK section.....)
You cant be serious?....

Apparently, we are..

Well, the etk (and thus BMW) says otherwise as the clear roundels are there for uk cars....
So its your word against BMW's word... pretty bold.

have you got much experience of the UK market other than bits you read on the internet?

[GuidoK]

have you got much experience of the UK market...

Have you?
Have you ever bought a z4 at the dealership with clear indicators and orange roudels?

Not quite sure what you're trying to say/achieve with your post.

No, but i've owned 7 Z4s now, ive been watching the market closely for the past 9 years and NEVER seen a z4 on sale with the clear items.

So yes, ive got plenty of experience, not like you bashing a keyboard a few thousand miles away.
