  1. Milenco Aero towing mirrors in storage case. These are a high quality product designed to reduce vibration and therefore increase stability when in use. Clamps are rubberised to protect your car's mirror housings. Excellent range of adjustment. Designed to be folded and easily stored in their own case when not in use. Very good condition. £35 + postage or collection from Bingley, West Yorkshire.
  2. Atera Signo roof rack designed for E61 rails. Rubberised feet. Very secure. Aerodynamic profile. Top quality product. £60 for rack only. (Although 4 bike carriers in image, all carriers are now sold). Located in Bingley, West Yorkshire. Happy to work out postage costs.
  3. Dead bodies tend to comprise mainy of smug F10 drivers. I have room for one more!
  4. My rear tyres wore more on the inside too. I agree, the run flats had the same unequal wear pattern, but more pronounced. My E61 rear tyre wear was exactly the same.
  5. Initial experience is good although only tested them on the motorway. Noticeably quieter than the Eagles, steering feel and ride much the same which is good. I had a much more pronounced rear tyre wear on the shoulders with runflats, less so with normal Eagles although I rotated them back to front too. Same wear pattern on my E61 so I'm sure it's the suspension geometry rather than the tyres. I need some mixed driving to form a better opinion, but happy so far. I did put a set on my wife's Mini last year and it seemed to have a noticeable, positive impact on ride comfort without sacrificing steering precision and grip. Finally, I love the tread pattern, which must surely be the most important factor 😄
  6. All 4 wheels now refurbed, polished and refitted with new tyres. Thought I'd take photos as they won't look this pristine for long. My wife thinks I'm too old to be getting excited over wheels and tyres, but I know you guys will be more understanding... BTW, I took the trouble to align the centre caps with the valve to avoid being called out by certain administrators😉. Trip to Manchester this afternoon and looking forward to see how the Crossclimates compare to the GY Eagle Assymetrics.
  7. I'm half way through getting my wheels refurbished and new Michelin Crossclimates fitted. 2 wheels done and refitted; dropping off the last two tomorrow. Considered Ferric silver but wasn't sure it would look as good against carbon black so played safe and went for BMW silver. The colour looks slightly darker than the original silver but I'm happy with it. I was surprised to see the rims were made by Cromodora. The Crossclimates are also made in Italy so should be a perfect match. Addit: Even the centre caps are Italian! 😄
  8. Received my axle stand/trolley jack adapters. Thanks for the recommendation Andrew.
  9. Just used the last of my current BMW screenwash and opened a new container. They looked exactly the same but on closer inspection, I noticed the minimum temperature at each dilution rate has reduced with the newer product eg. No dilution was = -63°C, but now it's a higher temp at -55°C, etc. So my first thought is that there is less ethanol in the solution than there used to be. My second thought was it's a stealthy price increase. I know, I need to get out more!
  10. A set of 2 AutoSocks size 685. Unused and in original packaging. They were bought for my E61 but don't fit the F11 I have now. Please check the size you require on the AutoSock site. £40+delivery
  11. Took mine out for a 100 mile round trip to delightful Doncaster. Filled up whilst down there. Possibly the cheapest petrol in the UK at 143.8p?
  12. Wheeled the car out of the garage to give it a wash, taking advantage of the sunny weather. Connected the Karcher to the water butt (started during the recent hosepipe ban).
  13. Did this job myself and I feel your pain! Couldn't the filter have been fitted in the engine bay or somewhere more accessible? Not had any issues since using BMW screenwash and distilled water.
  14. Me too! 12 next June with 70k. Passed MoT with no advisories but will need a new set of tyres soon and wondering how long the suspension components will last...
