If you can get black to shine, and hide the swirls, it always looks good :y. Briefly, though, sadly, as they show the dirt so quickly  :'(.


As for the subject matter in this specific case, "not to my taste" is the understatement of the year ;D

Swirls are most defiantly the most irritating thing, and need a hell of a lot of correcting when they're visible which takes more time than I can spare, and something to do with the fact I haven't really for the patience ;D.

I thought you'd love it? ;D ;D :y.

With Omega you need to know the security code to pair a key, how are they doing it with BuMW's?

Seen it done in under 2 mins, somehow, without old key or a code  :-\

Two minutes is with an ameteur, try 10-20 seconds.

You plug into the OBD2 socket and the device cracks the security code, then code a remote key and away you go.

No mechanical steering lock, no mechanical key....both of which can be defeated but take considerably longer, cause damage and risk making the car un-driveable in the process.

Ahhh so thats how they do it. So they still need to brake a window to get it in? Assuming the OBD2 socket is under the steering column or similar?

I think we should "export BMW's" to Cem  ;D
