ooOOoo, another 166 wheels!! How much did you pay for the whole set? Are those reps or OEMs? as for Body Kit, with your wheels, you should go with M-Tech front, M5 back with quads, then Hamann Splitter on M-Tech front...

Yeah, you're right 525iSE. Sent my car in recently and they dirtied the leather backseat without fixing the problem - had to clean the leather myself.
That's why this time I want to find out exactly what has been done to solve the problems before I send the car back again.
If any of you have any ideas on what are causing the 3 problems, please let me know.
Cheers to you all.

Here's a pic. Nothing exciting I'm afraid. Stuck the Conti Sport Contact 2s on - 245/40ZR19 and 275/35ZR19. Didn't want to alter any suspension etc yet as am happy with ride and don't want anything too firm due to back problem. Next I think will go for quad exhaust and upgrade front and rear and maybe skirts. Quite like the standard M Sport aero lot but may bite the bullet and go for the fancy stuff. Tempted already, but I don't like anything too overtly 'loud' but prefer the 'Q-car' concept. Any suggestions?

Hey Sam,
Everything will be replaced under warranty, they are ordering the parts now, so when I get back at the end of October, I'll bring my car to the dealer to fit the new MASK in. I don't have any pics of the interface right now because I took the whole install out before bringing it to the dealer. So when I get it ba, bck, I'll probably put it back. When you get here, you can pick yours up, and get an expert to install itecause I wasn't sure what mistake I made to end up with the Blue Screen. I'm afraid to install it on your car and mess it up, unless you're prepared to go through what I went through. LOL. But its a small problem anyways. Plus its much safer to get someone to install it for you. But we'll talk about it again when we meet.
Cheers BRO!

Forgot to mention: both my front fog lamps have water condensation inside them. Any way that can be fixed or is it something which can be replaced under warranty?
Whilst (so far) the creaks and squeaks have not made an appearance in my car yet, the two things which have gone wrong are:
1. Active headlamps - stopped moving after 10k kms and stuck in the straight-ahead (default) position.
A visit to Millennium Rama 4 only resulted in them saying they had no spare parts and they would order and fit under warranty.
2. Active steering functioned inconsistently after 12k kms. Sometimes the power steering worked when the engine was turned on, then the next time I turned the key, no power steering and the Active Steering warning light activated. After a day and a half of this behaviour I went to the dealer.
Found to be a fault with electronics (relay problem??). Repaired and since then no further issues - touch wood. However without the power steering it sure was a heave to drive around!
