Some 3 in 1 oil for the heater fan, new dash bulbs all round, new front discs and pads, new hub cap emblems, new centre seat belt clip on the parcel shelf, a stereo and new aerial and a flashing LED for the alarm system so the local toe rags see that it does REALLY have an alarm fitted :wink:

Should be a good Xmas for my car really !
These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....

Im being serious....Im sure my car is Herbie!! Its had a bit of a misfire for the last 8 weeks on and off....most of the usual parts were already new so thought it was fuel......drove up to the local factors to get new plugs as a last ditch attempt and the second I paid for them and stuck them in the glovebox it stopped the silly games and hasnt missed since.

New front footwells and a new battery tray for mine - loads of welding (thanks to Any at A-Tech!).

Would much rather spend the cash on something more exciting, but my feet were getting cold and wet, and it's MOT time :(

It's always worth it though. Whatever car I have, be it the old 2000 Touring or the 318is it will always cripple me financially. But it's worth it for the smile I get when everything works as it should. Oh, and I would sell a kidney to have your M3. It looks stunning! 8)

I should be getting some goodies for Christmas which will be going on the car as soon as possible: strut brace, set of Philips Xtreme power headlight bulbs, stereo with AUX connection. After Christmas I'll be on the hunt for new wheels too: 14" BBS are just too small!
