Re: easy removal of centre caps

no need to take the wheels off or risk scratching the wheel by prying it off from the side.

Re: easy removal of centre caps

Thanks for the advice, I would have taken the wheels off if they needed a clean but i only bought the car two months ago so they are still fairly clean.
i will have a look to see if they have a little hole for a screwdriver if not ill make one! Cheers

I was surprised I beat a 330D the other day. the 0-60 are similar but i had a bm as my last car and its easier to get your power down in a rear wheel drive car because all you weigh shifts to the back over...

Re: Window Fault please help

thanks, i will do both just to be sure. I just hope it doesnt develop into the window problem that makes your windows drop when your cars locked and could ptentially get Stole or at least get wet inside.
