What are you picking up @Dammit?

I love mine. Great fun to drive on country rodes, decent ride quality around town and it's reasonably practical. Wish I'd had the cash and buy im from Mrs to go for a punchier engine but we were really looking to buy as new a car as we could afford. The 118i in sports mode is still about as much fun as I reasonably need in a small car.

Beamers don't seem to be the most reliable - common issues for 1's are: the bushings in the wishbones going (I had to replace mine - not too pricey but a pain for 5 year old car with 36k on it). Signs to look for is any knocking sound on braking around town and a judder over 60mph.
Steering rack is a weak point too. Watch out for any rattles when driving over rough surfaces.

The interiors of the older ones are pretty rubbish and cramped, but the newer 2014+ is much better finished. On the flip -I've heard the engines in the earlier models are better.

X5 is far too heavy to actually be useful as a 4wd on snow. Awful cars

Is it possible to use google home or similar to control sonos speakers?

Basically I have 2xplay 1's and the old version of a Port (which Sonos only support through their awful awful s1 app). I'm about to move to a bigger house and would like to add more rooms/speakers but I don't really want to buy anything from sonos and if possible decouple my hifi hardware from the multiroom system so I'm not at the mercy of a company which intentionally makes perfectly good products obselete.

Hello IoT thread.

What are the alternatives to Sonos for a multi room speaker system? Preferably one which works with existing hardware?

Yes but in fairness I've left many thousands of pounds worth of kit there for years without losing any of it (still have my df3, and two sets of tubs hanging up there).
I think it was left on the floor under my bike and probably ended up getting cleared out or something

Bump for price drop. This is the last week I can deliver this in London. Collection only from herne hill after 22nd

Congratulations on your new career as a hairdresser

Hey, thanks for the interest. I'd prefer not to ship internationally

Reprogram worked :)

At one stage I was looking at a whole new head unit 😬

Thanks man!

Do it #profit :)

Lovely bike but house move and impending baby means it's got to go!

Any BMW owners out there who've had an idrive unit which gets stuck in a cycle of rebooting itself?

No I can feel it on the motorway in 6th when I use the little step next to the clutch to rest my foot.

Thanks for the recommendations on the garages - will go see them when I'm back in town.

Initially the mechanics I showed it to thought there might be play in the bushings, but when I brought it back in for a more thorough inspection they weren't convinced.

Mines 2015 so I'll be stumping up for whatever the investigation costs too..

Oh yeah totally. I was using my broad brush. I just have a dislike of 'endurance' road geo generally.

What bike are talking about? (I'm so.out of the loop on what people are riding this month/year)

Can feel it when I rest my clutch foot and you can feel it a bit as a passenger too.
I don't think its the steering rack if that's what you're asking (neither did mechanic)?

Nah I've wrapped myself round enough enough trees in my life already.

I'd like a full suss trail bike for singletrack fun... But until I have a new ACL and 10-12months of rehab under my belt I'm sticking to gravel/blacktop

Bouncy bike for proper MTB?

At some point in the long ago past I used to race dh - doubt I have any of those skills left :)

Amazing that more people don't notice geometry on the road. I hate bikes with slack headtubes etc on road rides. Yuk
