An active BMW forum I'm on is organising (I'm organising) a drive and a bite to eat, everybody is welcome.

The plan is to meet at Granada Services carpark just off the A1 near Musselburgh at 10:00 to leave at 10:30 heading over the Lammermuir Hills stopping at Eyemouth for about 12:15 for a coffee or a bite to eat.

Leave Eyemouth around 13:15 and head to the Myreton Motor Museum for 14:00 for a look round. After that we will head home.
Add your name plus number of passengers to the list if you are attending so I can let the museum know how many to expect.

Attending

Badwolf +1

Its a shame Lee cant make it , next time maybe.

Did the recce trip tonight, The timings are conservative as they were easily achieved whilst driving behind tractors and in thick fog with 30ft of visibility. Trying to drive at a pace that didn't waste time but stay completely safe was a real challenge which I really enjoyed. If its a nice clear day, we'll be in Eyemouth in plenty of time.
Parking is limited in Eyemouth and is probably best kept to the spaces at the amusements and at the Co op. The "Milk Bar" I propose we eat in is just a minutes walk from the car park. Its not "The Balmoral", its an Ice Cream parlour with a chip shop attached and an inside seating area with a nice view to the rear.
Issy has been in touch with the museum and they're looking forward to seeing us. Unfortunately, the museum doesn't offer tea or coffee but the carpark should easily house us all and provide a nice backdrop for some photos.
Approximately 100 miles round trip from Musselburgh Services with some fantastic roads and views on the way.

Everybody, please remember that there is an admission fee to the Motor Museum. The usual price is £7 per person but Issy has secured a discount. I don't know what the discounted rate is so bargain on spending £7 pp and if its cheaper, that's a bonus.


17 cars so far so this should make for some pretty cool photo opportunities.


Still loads of room if anybody fancies a nice drive and dine....

Based on the numbers above, I've phoned the place we're eating and reserved 20 places so we won't have to wait for a table. I'll be phoning again from the services once we all meet up on Sunday morning to confirm numbers with them which they are happy to vary.

Still plenty of room, come on troops, get your names down B)

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
