GrpN M3 suspension - made a massive difference to the handling of the Sport, even with the S50 fitted. Cant wait to fit it to the touring and try it with 4 pot weight up front

This Scottland Yard Spares auction features a brand new "Wedge" cup holder that fits in almost any car or truck. Its simply wedges between the seat and center console or between the front seats. Holds 2 drinks securely.

Best free thing I've encountered was being told that you can wedge in a can of fizzy pop behind the ashtray in the centre console and it won't spill with vigorous driving.
I just bought this:

Might be a load of tat but it was cheap and I've been looking for one for ages so what the hell.
Other than this it has to be my Jimmy Hill front lip. Really pleased with that.

These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....
Bought a cab wind deflector this year - makes a big difference on motorway etc. Also got a set of alloys that are deep dish versions of the standard 15" BBS - giving it an OEM look, but just that little bit different.
