We have boots, trunks, frunks, froots. .... But what is that ?

Oh I just meant the cloudly lens covers but if I can improve them in other ways I'm super keen! I know they're hard to separate though. On a second note, I have a small and sharp clunk in the front drivers suspension. Everything in there is new (M3 control arms, new sway bar, sway bar end links & coilovers) except the tie rod ends. I'm wondering if a bad tie rod end ball joint will clunk?

Yep. It makes such a difference to have the right sized plate on the right sized mount.

Ever since I got the 330i I've hated not having a front *mount* for the number plate. I don't like just sticking the plate to the bumper and the mounts I got from eBay always sucked so I bought a proper OEM front plate mount from the UK because its almost impossible to get euro sized front BMW mounts here (note that I have a euro sized front plate rather than the more common slimline front plate size which is why it was hard to find the mount). My plate was hiding some holes and also a big crack where something has reversed into it before I bought it. I removed the double sided tape and put the new mount on. It has tabs underneath that didn't line up with anything so I cut them off and then I just drilled and used plastic rivets to mount it. It covers the crack and some of the existing plate holes but not all. I'll fix up the remaining ones soon but once the plate was ("EXTREME MOUNT") double sided taped down it looks so much nicer. I'm stoked. Honestly, I've been putting this off for so many years because I was nervous of getting the wrong mount (there are literally dozens of different OEM BMW front plate mounts). Sometimes it's the little things. Gotta get to those headlights!

Oh this is cool. Can't wait for the updates.

What he said ^

Another productive weekend. Installed the Nolathane subframe bushes and a Whiteline 16mm rear sway bar (replaced the OE 13mm). Man, the car feels tight. Its hard to put a finger on anything specific and I've only done maybe 5 k's in it but everything feels precise. I did some soft rolling squirts and I could feel there was less squirm in the back. Theres a *tiny* bit of increased NVH but you have to turn radio down and really focus to hear it. Well within my acceptable range. Off to Pheasant Wood on the 29th. First day in over a year. I can't want.

How much will they foul by?

They have some strange meta data. I was able to repair them on my Mac.

Hi Dave and welcome! The non imports are Infiniti and the Nissan counter parts are imports. The Nissans are generally cheaper but come with their own (unsupported) problems. Nissan Aus won't be able to help with much. There's a few folks on here with them, hopefully they can help you more. 👍

I saw this pop up on YT also. Well done!

Pics or it didnt happen.

Had a productive weekend. Replaced both front hub assemblies. The noise in the cabin is so much quieter now. I have only one corner left to replace now. Its another press in but on the non exhaust side so will be a bit easier than the other rear. Also fit my M Performance alcantara steering wheel trim. It was an impulse buy (and pretty cheap ~$140 delivered) but man I love it. Going to get to Pheasant Wood before the end of the month.

Looks like a great event! I found myself gawking at the Cefiro more than anything else!! 🤣

Aw c'mon!

If only. 🙄

Paying the price for the knock off market perhaps? https://www.drive.com.au/news/recaro-seats-bankrupt-bbs-wheels-insolvent/

Do you want to borrow it? I don't mind sending it to you. It doesn't get *that* much use! 🙄

Woops, thought the pic was of your model but it doesn't appear to be. Ignore my last sentence.

I bought the Noco GB40 (1000A) forever ago but it just lacked enough power to start our X5 (diesel 3L straight 6) but could do a few good attempts at my 335i. Then I upgraded recently to the GB50 which is 1500 Amp. Its proper capable of starting either of my cars now. The little one will be fine in my daughters XV I think though so not totally wasted. I'm surprised yours doesn't work if it is truly 2000 Amp!

Yep! Not many though.

This might help identify the RB25 you have;

I'm not sure what I was expecting but I guess this doesn't seem *too* bad.

Dang. What would that be worth there?

Haven't tried it yet but I do love ACC. https://www.thesimgrid.com/seasons
