New run flat blow out

Defo have a close inspection first before giving the tyre garage some grief.

The tyre was fitted via Blackcircles who are responsible company I guess.

BMW next time tho. Worth the extra for them to check it over.

New run flat blow out

Maybe the tyre insurance is good idea after all. 2 tyres = £1000 so far!

New run flat blow out

Less than 500 miles on the tyre and it blows out!
Paid over £500 for replacement tyre 1 month ago since it had nail in.
The new tyre blew today on the M1. Nightmare...

Any come back on the supplier/installer here?

my 4.0 m sport

I fancy changing the badge on rear from chrome to black! Think it will go nice with the white and black trim theme.

40d with Pics !

Looks fantastic! I wouldn't change it..was torn between between white and black both with the black wheels, which are a must in my book!

The missis opted for the white.

front fogs

[quote=""5wany""][quote=""mark09""]
I'm not sure the car is programmed in the UK for that, sounds like some one coded that to your X post handover.[/quote][/quote]

It was ordered from new! Best get it down to BMW then.

front fogs

On my X5 when I have lights on automatic, the front fogs automatically come on!! So you saying I can get points for something BMW have programmed?
Or is it a fault and I should have it checked?

Roof rack loads for panoramic roof?

It took roofbox company 3 attempts to get the correct fittings for my M Sport. I will post up the correct foot pack reference once I return home but from memory it was 753.

I did originally order the wisper bar set but the foot fittings were not compatible.
