I'd laugh my t*ts off if there was a hanky box with a knitted cover sitting on the back shelf  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

Actually in the 'after' pic there seems to be some kind of alien thing crawling our of the centre air vent!

It reads "SLICK 50". There's another one on the glovebox door, in recognition of the fact that I've poured the stuff into my engine twice during the past decade. And no ill effects.
The only thing sitting on the back shelf is a full-size Irish tricolour....
Nokia hands-free headphones / radio aerial. The only thing it's good for is getting tangled. -------------

May I ask whats in the green carrier bag in the passenger footwell to be nosey lol? Also, in teh first picture, the clocks facia appears to be cream in colour, its black in the second picture, did you change that as well? That wheel though, had the same one of a 325i, and its one of my favourite M-tech wheels. ------------- Let The Good Times Roll |

In the "Before" pic, I took a series of photos in a car park in Basildon.... I was transporting home my newly-upgraded PC from a friend in Southend, hence the plastic bags.
No, that's actually the angle of the sun coming into the car. Unless someone sneaked into my car overnight during the past 5 years and changed it all without me noticing.
True. In my case, it was worth waiting for. And now teamed with M635CSi suspension, it feels like I'm steering a go-kart......
....whoa...hang on.... I've just noticed I've got three horn buttons now!!! -------------

Something else I've noticed about the steering wheel. The indicators don't self-cancel any more -------------

That, Nigel, is shortly (ha!) to be replaced with a new head unit and a CD changer. I am being dragged kicking and whingeing into .....the Nineties -------------

Third horn button is for the ejector seat.
