I can only see 3 things it needs, a new drivers side mirror glass, grills around fog lights and a bloody good hoover inside.
Maybe 2 front tyres very chaffed clearly been curbed. Brand new on the rear 255/35/18   glad I didn't have to shell out for them 225/35/18's on the front but should be ok fingers x'ed.

Does anyone know what size the BMW badge in the centre of the alloys are? Cheers mine are grubby.
Measured em

I need a wishbone looking at MOT advisories says nearside front suspesion arm has play in ball joint. Nearside front suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush, offside front suspension arm has slight play in pin/bush. I want to get it done but the guy at euro parts said
£52 + VAT if it doesn't have sports suspension £140 + VAT if it does have sports suspension   And I take it being the M Sport it'll have sports suspension.

Ah, the joys of BMW ownership

Advisory? That should fail.

Thats exactly what I thought. Says minimal play in ball joint though but

TCT's, mind you some of the things I've put in there before knowing that it would fail and it passed.
Got new number plates for the car today GB ones looks much cleaner not bad at 8 quid each. But 140 quid for a wishbone because it's got sports suspension

Don't know anything about TCT's, good or bad.  

I have used Tyreweb over on Orbital Park for years and found them very honest, reliable and usually competitively priced.  They specialise in high performance suspension components, alloy wheels, etc., so they could be worth a try for the wishbone quote for the M5 BMW.

Bu**er   Just been thinking actually a bloke opposite me his son works @ BMW and he said he could get me a discount as the Mrs. got his some cheap Taps  

[Del Boy]

Having a look and talking to that bloke it was actually bushes at the back of the wishbone which were in a circle thingy ma jig were all perished so I changed that and there seems to be no play now, also cleaned the wishbone up looks brand new too   Luckily they were 35 quid each so £35 is much better than £140+vat.

Good news then LSG!!
