Very sorry sight Mike. :(

I think they are beyond salvation, even by you!

But yes, your Xenons seem nice and bright! :thumbsup:

My facelift E86 also only has halogens. :(

What I can't understand is why they are so much worse than the halogens on my E46! :?

That sounds like a good plan!

I'll blame them for the electric water pump, run-flats, EPAS, and the lack of an LSD on non-M models while I'm at it! :lol:

Yes. He's moving to a new place that's all undercover after Xmas, so gutting the cars and scrapping the shells so he doesn't have to transport them.

Thanks for that Mike - but I'm guessing you still have EPAS!

At least I'm about to lose the RFTs, so I'll be making progress as I also have a flip-style key thanks to you! :thumbsup:

Cheers, Iain.

EPAS, for the moment.. Whether or not it stays depends on if the VFE supercharger will work with a hydraulic system..
