I've had this vehicle for three years now, however it's spent the most of that time in the garage due to issue after problem. Having said that, I've always worried whether the build quality was any good on it since it was my first kit car and I wasn't aware what to look for when I received it. In 2007, the vehicle passed an IVA. I've already run it through two mots, and some points were picked up while it was mot.

I tested the other side and everything appears fine, but I'll double-check. If I had hit a hole or bump on the road, the bracket bolt would have come off. The wishbone bolt is long enough, but as the nut came out, it began to come out. I'll disassemble it and weld brackets.

Hello everyone, I took the car for a brief drive to test the new radiator and fan. On the way back, the steering felt a little off, so I pulled over to inspect it. I discovered that the bracket that secures the lower wishbone had shifted, and I had lost several screws along the way. See image Arrow in red where the bracket should be. The blue arrow bolt that holds the bracket in position is missing its head, and the bracket has risen. The fastener on the green arrow bolt that passes through the wishbone and bracket has been removed. All fasteners possessed lock nuts. Should I weld this bracket in position, or should I attempt to insert another bolt? Would it also be a good idea to disassemble it to ensure there is no additional injury to the bushes?

No worries, will do, and to be honest, I don't believe it'll be long before I have the fronts done to the identical ones. I'll keep you updated as soon as they're available.

Thanks, guys, for the responses. I ended up choosing RS5s for the back. The fronts still look brand new, but when they need to be changed, they will be replaced with the same ones.

Since I have a work car, I'll probably only drive it on the weekends, so it might be fine for me too.

Thanks man, I was just checking over the reviews and they seem quite good.

Hi Guys, New to BMW and the forums I recently purchased a 320d E90 and need advice on which rear tyres to purchase, as they will soon require replacement. Currently equipped with Pirelli Zero tyres mounted on 18" msport mv3 staggered wheels. Should I purchase the same run-flats or not bother, and what are the pros and cons of each option? Or are there superior alternatives available? Cheers

I cannot visualise the magnitude of the fender to determine whether or not it is competitive. In 1998, when I was refurbishing my Firenza, I had Niphos complete some of the parts. The trunk latch and door handles are the same as they were back then. The door handles were never installed; they've been stored in the garage because they were finished so late and I wanted to move on with reassembling the doors, figuring I'd replace them shortly. Twenty years later, I'm about to do them.

Yes. You may want to get comfortable when you open the quotation, considering what I've heard lately. However, how much labour is required to create a surface that is smooth enough to plate will all depend on the situation.

Niphos in Crewe has produced positive outcomes for me in the past, but not for quite some time. I keep intending to return to see if they can repair my front insignia. I am unsure of their current pricing, but I have heard that they are quite expensive. Now I use a different guy; he can't make my insignia, but he's been very cost-effective with other things. However, he is in Coventry, which is outside your jurisdiction.
