how do i find out which rotrex charger i have got?

Hi people's. A few years ago I bought a rotrex charger from shepsevo on here (does he still use the site?). I am now trying to figure out what charger it is and I can't remember at all. Is there any way I can find out? There is a number on the charger bit after googling it I get nothing. Any help is...

car storage help

My e30 is going to be homeless soon and ideally I need somewhere close by to store it.
What are my options? Rent a small back alley garage? Does anyone on here own anywhere?

valve clearances cat cam

I'm soon to adjust the valve clearances on my 2.7 m20. It has a 272 cat cam and I have been warned to make sure that I set the clearances to the cam manufacturers spec but I can't find this info anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: is this an original sport ?

I would steer well away from that eBay turd! I'd bet any amount of money that it isn't genuine and if it is, as rob said it is ruined anyway.
Look for clarko's (i think that's his username) car. That is a very nice red chromey with a tech1 front spoiler, it doesn't require the rest of the kit imo

I'm using my 320i auto and its great. Warms up faster than any of my newer cars and de-mists the front screen quicker too! With the open diff the traction is appalling but its the only time the 2.0 auto has enough power to spin the wheels so I may as well make the most of it :P
