      M240i wheel advice

      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

      M240i wheel advice

      Hi, just looking for some advice, my 2019 240i has these wheels as standard, they are a bit tarnished and i was considering refurbing them There is a set from a 240 M sport on ebay, they look mint but have black gloss inserts. I don't see them as an option in my brochure, but the sizes look identical. Would these be a good purchase or should I go back to refurb of mine? Thankyou Dave
