What size is the hub bolt? Does the cap just pop off with a screw driver? What / Where is ECP?

...There is the remains of an allen key that broke off in the hole from the previous owners. At least i think its an allen key.

Thanks for the help. :wink:

I am on a budget as always and correct me if i am wrong but this seems like a good price for a classic car that stands out on the motorway.

'M' crazy

Just want your opinions (no abuse please)

The only 'M' car i can get insured on and have always liked is an E28 M535i. How would this compare to an E30 of similar insurance price and cost to buy...Ԛ£2000 max?

Cheers

Hi

Does anyone have a setup so the fogs come on when you flash (and i assume also for full beam)? I have seen it on golfs and think it looks cool but may be a bit of a boy racer thing!
