fitted the pipe and went to the garage for some juice and a nice little country road drive.
first time i've driven it for a while,same ride just quieter i need to do a few more miles to get the scale off the front discs,the zaust pipe is suprisingly quiet and not intruding. it has bmw tacky plates on both boxes with a seriel number. again waiting for the WHEELS,i have two finished [tyres on tomorrow] i'll be putting them on the rear.the 175's are deathly :twisted:

next up is remove the front end and wax-oil the unders/inners/arches etc.
'Q' is what do i use for the wing to scuttle to get the oem finish?

is it seam sealer out of a gun [mines turned to concrete] in white that i need?

only ask as bmw's stuff is rock hard?

the local scales are less than 1/4 mile away,so when they took the shell 320i anchor and the old m42 block etc the driver told me to go to the yard and collect what's due to me :? .

Think it's a misprint Mick, it's P L 24v I think for plastic rather than the cr Chrome.
