Hello Phil and a warm welcome from Belgium.
Considering your description here above it looks like your ride has done less miles than the driver! :D

...just pulling your leg, welcome to the Family:thumbsup:
Thanks for the welcome Gundun, yes it has done a lot less miles, goes faster and looks better than the current owner!

Welcome to the forum @Phil Dutton from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. If your photo was taked by a camera as opposed to a cell phone, it might be too 'dense' or loaded with pixels. You might have to reduce the size of it, not necessarly in physical size but in 'density'. If you find the photo in your files and right click on it, a window might pop up with the words 'Properties' in it. Click on that and see how many pixeles it is. Try to reduce it to something like 400x 600 and it will upload quickly. If it's something like 2400 x 3200, it is too much to upload and will not transfer or will do so for a few minutes and then be rejected before it's completed. You probably have software that comes with your operating platform (I have Windows 7) that will do the trick. If you need help, you can Google the question on how to reduce it or check it out on you-tube..................Frankie
PS. Also check the file type it's stored as. eg. The 5 Types of Digital Image Files: TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG

Hi Frankie, still getting to understand how the site works, I started a new message instead of thanking you under your original post. So thanks again. Phil.

As you can see the only thing ever changed on the vehicle is the radio. The photos do look good but there is plenty to do to bring it to the standards I see on the site. I took it to the BMW main dealer yesterday for a free health check and MoT test, I expected them to find plenty of expensive work that would need doing. The Technician did a quite comprehensive video of the underside pointing out few things that need attention. Much to my surprise it passed the MoT test without the need to do any work. Just two advisory items.

Thanks to everyone on the website for the introductions. I have already seen a number of articles that will help me.
