Installed brackets for wind deflector today. Perfect positioning without having to split the hoops thanks to a 2015 how-to by Russ59.

It’s still not massively expensive for a reasonable mileage 3.0Si with the reassurance of buying from a dealer with a good reputation to protect. Anyone buying from Boca22 direct would have got themselves an absolute bargain.

Iain will be a great asset - nice one.

I’ve been trying to track down an oil leak from the back of the engine which has been spotting on the garage floor, after accumulating on the metal reinforcement plate. Picture is taken with reinforcement plate removed looking towards the rear. What you are looking at is the sump (top right)...

Today I sheltered under the car, it was drier to stay there than to come out :rofl:

You’ll have to pay postage on top from Sytner, but the price should be the same from any BMW dealer. Apologies if I have misread the post and it turns out to be the wrong part.

And how far you are willing to travel

Finally got the car back together again after a hellish (everything out) audio loom transplant. Decided to brighten up the cabin while it was in pieces. This won’t be to everyone’s taste, but better than black, black, black. Car is Rubinschwarz if that helps explain the colour choice :D ).

Removed this little fellow from my car when replacing the audio loom, as I didn’t enjoy seeing scotchlocks all over my electrics. £60 posted UK, as per photo. Plenty of forum members have Gaptech modules, so instructions should be readily available. (Current Gaptech price is £89.99 + £5 P&P)

Tabs down. Here’s how you do it, pulling the unit back gently at the same time.

Started stripping out the 6-speaker wiring harness and replacing it with a 10-speaker harness. I almost decided not to do it due to the amount of dismantling involved, but bit the bullet today. Now there’s no going back. I also removed a gaptech module and a reversing camera system installed...

Just tested, definitely working. The default state (engine off) is both DISAs open. At idle, both DISAs are closed At c. 2850 rpm, DISA2 opens At c. 3800 rpm, DISA1 opens (i.e. both open) Hence, three stage intake. This is surprising, as it suggests the gains from DISA2 are in the mid range.
