All gone very quiet again, like an awkward conversation on a first date! Anyone from down here off to Donnington tomorrow?

Nah, mate, working tomorrow - hope you have a safe journey & a good day out
Does anyone have any views on the best body & leather care products? I've never tried zymol, but it seems to have many devotees on the various BMW websites that I've visited.

I've spent many great holidays in the Republic, Horse, esp Kerry but also Galway.
However, on the last trip (July - Aug 01) it was raining when we got to Dublin airport & was still raining when we left there 2 weeks later, having rained everyday in between....
But we've been in September & had hot beach weather!
& enjoyment of the craic is not weather - dependent.

Try Race-glaze, I bought some at Donnington last year. It's cheaper than Zymol but just as effective. Dead easy to use as well. www.raceglaze.co.uk

The 540i Touring which I changed for a 3 series this month failed its MOT on CATS last year.
Bill �2000+. BMW (GB) paid 1/2 the parts costs due to the relatively low age & mileage.

This might sound sad, but does anyone know if the E46 M3 toolkit is meant to not include wheel-changing equipment (there being no spare wheel - on-board, at least).
Any ideas re the best cleaner/preserver to use on nappa leather?

Would anyone in the South West be interested in a BMW club for say Devon and Cornwall, nothing really formal more a social gathering of like minded people?

Hello. I notice nobody's posted for over a week (and me for 5 months!) so I thought I'd write something.
I'm in Bath by the way. Almost counts as Somerset.

Good question. Bath is in a county called "Bath And North East Somerset" these days.
