  1. You're not allowed to. Those bushes are for non-Stagea owners.
  2. Definitely not all.
  3. Eh? Seriously?
  4. For reference look at where the top of the gate is on the first image compared to the second.
  5. One super irritating issue I was dealing with was the absolutely useless passenger side mirror. You can see how bad it was. It was so hard trying to change lanes in crazy Sydney traffic when commuting when I really had no trustworthy mirror. So, I bought a cheap convex mirror on eBay which has made a big difference though the mirror itself is a bit warped. Its still a million times better. So much better.
  6. Page 101 for me is Keyfob battery changing. Maybe you have LCI E90? Nice! This sounds awesome! Maybe you could do a write up about it?
  7. So I read the manual and saw nothing about the high beams other than how to turn them on. There was a heap of info about the adaptive xenons, is that what you mean? They change where they point based on steering and speed, they are also auto anti dazzle. I have these and totally love them. I've only driven at night a handful of times (went on holidays not long after getting it and daylight saving hasn't helped) but I love seeing the lights moving around.
  8. I have a sensor on the back of the mirror so I'll definitely test the auto high beams. I wish I knew somebody with non run flats so I could try the car on them. I don't want to follow that route until I'm sure that's the problem. I have B8s on the Bora, definitely the best shocks I've ever had. I'd love to read about what you do with the CIC. Mine is the CCC but there are upgrade guides for the CIC which have piqued my interest.
  9. Nice! I want some M-Sport wheels for mine. What do you mean by auto high/low beams?
  10. Also, how is it possible that so many dealers are shit? At least with Google reviews they're now being named and shamed.
  11. How did I miss this thread? Some of your A8 problems made their way into my mkiv Bora and our old B6 Passat. Most notably the stupid sunroof drains. Within weeks of owning the Passat we had a new airbag controller en route from Germany. I found all the drains and snipped off the pinched ends. I love Swedish also. You need to post pics of both cars. I'm a sucka for a big German.
  12. Oh I'm happy that you're hating then too (well not happy but relieved) because I was starting to worry about suspension components. Are you loving the E90?
  13. It hasn't all been rosy though. The handling is odd. I believe I'm just a victim of run flats but its taking some getting used to. On a nice flat road its just gorgeous, but when there are ridges and pot holes it can tramline and pull a bit. I have been reading about my options for replacing them with normal tyres and either making room in the boot for a spare or carrying a small compressor + tyre foam stuff incase the worst happens. Prob is the Potenza's on it have SO much life left. Can anybody else corroborate my run flats experiences? My chrome window trims are super scratched and scuffed, so I plasti-dipped them black. Looked so shit, was so happy to be able to remove it straight away. Also, I've found evidence of a terrible repair. So terrible that I'm almost embarresed that I missed this when looking at the car initially (though not nearly bad enough for me to not buy the car.) The passenger side has had some kind of repair. The doors and bonnet trim gaps are a little off and there is a shit respray job done on the top of the doors. There is a bit of overspray and some paint coming off. The door jams and pillars are all original, so its just panel or paint damage thats been repaired. I'm not sure its worth fixing, but I would like to stop it getting worse, so I might just lay some clear coat on it. What do you think? The first two pics are damage I did when I bumped it with my polisher, it just ate through. You can see some of the over spray in the third pic, but theres more than that.
  14. Gave it a big wash on the weekend and thought I'd take a few better shots of it. I'm absolutely loving driving it. Its hard to keep to the speed limit cause it just wants you to go faster.
  15. Just discovered a rather large family of rats living under our wheelie bins. The most concerning part is that they… https://t.co/Mn03oQQ71i

  16. Hmm, you have the NSW group too. How odd. Looks like there are some issues.
  17. Hmmm, seems the donated icon is missing (i should have one too). The NSW membership icons are managed by NSW club. Consider me investigating.
  18. RT @BBC: Farewell 2017. Thank you for giving us this. ? https://t.co/tIUAzNnIUU

  19. On the site or the app? If the app, on IOS or Android?
  20. RT @OsloDavis: #Christmas #antlers #carantlers https://t.co/rus9y9eYi6

  21. Found this. Perfect! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEFT-PASSENGER-SIDE-BMW-3-SERIES-E90-2005-2008-MIRROR-GLASS-chrome/252983563629?hash=item3ae6fed56d:g:rgIAAOSwEKNZ23Z1
  22. Yep, I definitely don't have that. The drivers' mirror does. I'll check ebay for replacement convex mirror. Thanks for the pic!!
  23. Thats funny. I was just telling my brother in law yesterday that I can't change lanes without head checks cause of riding a bike. I don't think mine is split. I think I have the wrong mirror in mine.
