Right,

I have an 06 E90 320D running 16" wheels all round

Ditched the RFTs ages ago and rolled with a can of gunk in the boot until now. After 2 failed attempts using the gunk I have decided the only way forward is either go back to RFTs which i am not keen on the idea although the best tyre I can see is the Goodyear efficient grip RFT coming in at £95 per corner. I currently go for the same tyre in non RFT which are just about £30 cheaper, more fuel efficient & have better wet grip.

However its gonna be a trade off as I will lose a fair portion of my boot if i buy a spare. If I do go the spare route what size would I need to buy for it to properly fit my car? I could however creat a false bottom of my boot so that i dont lose the floorspace, just depth from floor to top.

Thanks

Andy

      Thank you Dave, I'll give it some thought, I'd have to get a friend in the Midlands area inspect and collect which isn't ideal, just too far away for me. I don't think they will sell quickly given time of year so I'm in no rush, best wishes for Xmas and 2025

      Instrument cluster suddenly died

      Morning Kristian Welcome and Seasons Greetings If you repaired the fault by changing the board and the fault has repeated then my thinking is the fault is with the power feed to the instrument panel overloading it,could be Junction box related or Footwell control module related. A diagnostic scan is needed to try and track it down Dave

      M240i wheel advice

      Morning David Seasons greetings Personally I would find out why the wheels are for sale if the seller will tell you, have they been damaged and repaired/welded at all. If they are good and correct for your car and the price is OK then why not, I had the type 87 wheels on my 4.6is refurbished I brought a set of type 87 wheels in taty condition from ebay to use while mune were refurbished. Your choice is then when your refurbed wheels are back sell on the spare set or as I did tidy them up and put winter tyres on. Though after the last few years here in the sunny south we have hardly had a Frost let alone snow mine have only seen use when we visit friends in Europe Dave
