Finally home at 00:49

With a possible suspect wheel bearing failure on left rear; right rear brake calipers carrier is missing; left rear handbrake shoes I think have maybe disintegrated. Had new rear brake discs and new rear brake pads and new front brake pads from BMW Berry Chiswick last week. Hmmm.

Somehow I got a feeling my old man is going to blame a wheel bearing failure on me and I will have to pay for it. Also interior air blower doesn't work. BMW Berry Chiswick thought they fixed it twice but they haven't as doesn't work.

Caliper Carrier Missing, thats quite an achievement, the mixed grill wasn't bad though.

To much of a coincidence that you had rear brakes done last week at berry and something has fallen off/caught fire/broken in that area.

Take it back there and kick off big time!

Yes my old man is dealing with it. He been going there since the MLG days. There was no fire just funny smell. But I didn't wanna take any chances.

RAC guy says RR brake calipers carrier (whatever that is) is missing. Maybe has fallen off on the motorway.
LR possible suspect wheel bearing issue. When u apply handbrake and jack up left rear the wheel rotates very slightly a few degrees. RAC guy says that shouldn't be happening.

Above poster I don't know what u mean about mixed grill ? Has chrome kidney grill as per 6 cylinder models.

There was really strange vibration and noise from the rear all of a sudden.

Pony did you keep an eye on Pete at all times?
Ran out of petrol because was upholding the E46 M3 name when the 2013 Merc C class started on Barry wanting to race him must be something about M3s that makes other people want to race them now and again. I took the long way home via motorway instead of A406 which led to running out of petrol.
