My computer is ok now, thats why am thinking its either the oil or coolant.

Most likely my coolant causing the problem as i put about a liter of water (Yes!) into the coolant tank due to the low coolant level warning on the idrive
(And i havent got time to get a proper cooalant at that time)
wow you should have said you were low
I have half a bottle left of BMW coolant.

It looks great indeed...i really like the contrast of the black and white but not sure on T.Sliver.
With the roof wrapped in black, i will need to spend more $$ like e.g black shadowlines, CF front splitter to coop with the black roof look,
it might looks too "Aggressive" at the end which i dont want.
yes that right if you have the black roof then it will look much more Aggressive and then you will need to do much more mods

To KC and Mike,


My mate wanna change his E92 325i coupe steering wheel to M-sport, he found a m-sport with paddle shifts on ebay and he is wondering can his original airbag be fitted into M-sport SW?
If not, how much will it cost at the dealer?


Cheers
Keith

O yea, i remember now, so you now just getting the side wings instead of the full kit?

The wings will look great with your current setting!!
When you get it fitted?
Yes, I am getting the side fender wings only. According to the online tracking, the package is currently enroute at Dubai. I hope it will be here later this week and get it fitted then. Stay tuned for more update.

Thanks for the info KC,
but they arent cheap, 137USD for a gallon (Approx 4L), 2 gallons b4 shipping would cost 274USD= 2100HKD
no la keith, its an engine treament, only need 1oz per litre of oil. if u follow the instryction strictly, 2oz/L the first time.

does the idrive also tell you when to change coolant? they carry anti corrosion purpose also. you might want to check for leaks. these warnings should not be taken lightly, alloy head will warp when engine overheat.
