Lol, yes Jim.
It's freezing in the UK at the moment. I'm still going to clean, clean, clean lol.
I'm hoping the new tail light and new BMW badge come by Friday so I can crack on.
We have an annual Xmas get together at my in laws this Sunday and my husbands cousin has a Mercedes SLK 55 AMG and he's keen to see mine, so needs to be immaculate lol

I just love the sayings you Brits have for doing things, keep them coming!! And go and show that SLK what a real car is! Jim
It's not the size of the weapon that counts it's how you use it!! JIM

Lol!
My neighbours must think I'm mad, was just outside giving the roof a little spot wash. I spotted bird poo and HAD to get it off before the weekend. Couldn't wait!!!!
Oh, you're going to love this forum girl!! That bird crap would probAbly have eaten a hole by the weekend. JIM
If memory serves me there was a discussion on the 1/2 covers not that long ago with discussion about brand and attachment types. You can try a search or as usual Gaz or HT will point you in that direction. Was looking at a few myself but what I found didn't seem to attach the way I'd like. Anyone else out there with a comment? Wasn't it you t-tony?? JIM

Good morning, I have found one in good condition for £140. Is that expensive? Seems a bit excessive?
Its a sellers market with them. I've seen them sometimes for £50, then ranging up to the price you've seen. They aren't essential so if you are prepared to wait you may find one at a better price.

Thank you 
That's useful. I may just wait a little. Just so excited lol.
I'm itching to get cleaning! Hate that I have to wait for the weekend
Spoke to BMW today and they quoted £700 for a service!!!!
Also found out that my car was originally listed in Belgium when new and over time its made its way over to the UK

Whoo hoo
Exactly this... Where are you roughly in the country and we may be able to recommend a local independent close to you.
The Inspection II is the bigger of the 2 services, and covers more than the Inpsection I. As the Inspection II is cheaper than my local BMW dealer charges for an Insp I, I go with that each time. Also because I'm saving money doing it this way I get the gearbox and rear differential oil changed at the same time. All helps keep stuff nice and smooth
What area are you @Justine gonna take a drive out Saturday or Sunday and if you are not far maybe I could get more to join us and say hello

I am actually very close to Walton on Thames. So basically Heathrow Airport. Close to Windsor, Richmond etc. If that helps. I like to name a few areas so people know etc.
I have the car booked in for a service on Monday with a garage my husband uses. They have quoted me £200 for a full service and to check the car over. Need to check the suspension as the 'Tramlining' is slightly noticeable.
£170 including postage.

Am I correct in assuming that this cover is soft and fleecy on the inside? My car will be in the garage soon but I want to keep the dust off.
Thanks again.

Thank you very much guys, you are all so helpful. Feeling the love
Yes, I will let you all know how I get on after the service. Hopefully all is well and nothing too major. Shes purrs like a kitten when I start her up so don't think there will be anything too much. Just had an email from the courier and my package containing the new taillight will be with me today
Whoo hooooooooo

Thank you so much. Only thing that would concern me is the theft side
