Thanks Simon I think the point I was making was I'm about to travel up to the Lake District in a week it's about 175 miles or so all at speed two up plus dog and luggage and her hair dryer and your right about the temperature bit and that's the point arriving with cool tyres means they did not reach the possible air increase of up too 5/7 psi so possibly reduced tyre wear that's about all really any thing these days to save beer money Regards Chippy.

Hi guys please go to 5 Series forum and read my ramblings on this topic.

Hi guys Not posted for a while but I thought you should be informed I had a small screw in my rear tyre so went to Kwick fit on Sunday afternoon, puncture repaired I was offered reflation of nitrogen at an extra £1.50, well air planes and F1 cars why not me . He explained that same pressures applies benefits are longer tyre life ( I took that with a pinch of salt ) But as nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen, gasses escape slower through the tyre walls /valve or slow punctures claiming that a possible 1PSI a month will escape compared to air so the tyre should last longer because its inflated correctly for longer ,also nitrogen has no moisture content so no internal corrosion of the rim.so I had the other tyres deflated and gassed up, its going to be the way to go apparently BMW must be aware of this so why not standard on our new cars!! So while were on the subject of wheels I require a spare 18inch ally wheel with just legal tread as a get me home spare,, money waiting, maybe you've got 4 Im sure 3 others need a spare after junking run flats, those space savers are hugely over priced £200+ Please contact me on 07795422420 if you've got one Regards Mick.

Thanks Dabsy Seams like that's common knowledge to those in the know it will be interesting if BMW will make it official and amend there service advice and save long term problems and there good name come on BMW reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys I'm a little concerned about some conflicting information, twice now I've read about changing your oil and filter every 8-10 thousand miles as a answer to a question in the latest copy of straight six mag,this is to prevent carbon build up in side the turbo and shorting its life considerably not mentioned in the bmw service book or schedule , Is this for oldish turbos or all turbos my F10 has only done 24000 as yet and serviced at 18000 as per the service intervals. So should I change oil in couple of thousand miles, I intend to keep my baby for a long time so the future is quite important. So over to you. Regards Chippy

Hi guys, because we cant allways be on the road, I decided to give it a through clean, so far so good, until it came to my cream ( no don't cringe no don't!!!! ) seat belt ,that's the trouble with cream leather interiors !! I've tried every thing, washing up liquid, carpet spray cleaner, but it still looks grubby, especially when wearing white is there any specialist cleaners among us, its basically only from oily skin, but its winding me up now. ll try any thing that's legal and not to funny. Regards chippy

Hi Ginge Im glad things are on the up being self employed i know its an up hill climb, the main thing i replied was, a hang over from my keen days as a photographer photos tell everything about the subject. so look all around the view finder before pushing the button you'll soon see things that shouldn't be in the pic, and then they will be impressive. All my best wishers for your new adventure Regards MICK.......
