I've got a set of 15" steels for winter, annoys me that the hub gets exposed and rusty. Anyone know where I can get some centre caps preferably in black?

Possibly a really stupid question but do the maps get updated? I put mine on almost 3 years ago, will there be a better version available now?

Re: What bit is replaced on rear brake lines when going braided, line off the caliper OK thanks for the help.

MOT failed on corroded rear lines on the part that comes directly off the caliper and is bonded on to another line. From what he said I don't think this is the part that would be replaced by braided lines but I'm not sure?

I though I read somewhere the design has been changed and there is no longer any welding required?

I love the 335i so much, it is absolutely my next car. Brilliant mix of looks, handling and power while still sensible-ish running costs. I would have to have a hell of a lot more cash floating around before I saw any value in having an M3 over a 335i as a road car.

Re: Powerflex bushes from K-Tec no choices for difference between cup and non cup siz They didn't get in touch to ask what size I was after but it's the 23mm that have turned up so all is fine.

Re: Powerflex bushes from K-Tec no choices for difference between cup and non cup siz Well I'm confused, Kam Racing have options for the arb bushes...

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1199&appid=2 I notice K-Tec don't have the option to choose between the cup and non cup size powerflex bushes like Kam Racing do. Safe to assume K-Tec are selling the cup size bushes?

Re: Any point in replacing ball joints, track rods+ends when putting on powerflex bus Could do some of it but sounds like a pain in the arse to push in new bushes and if I get stuck getting a bolt out I don't really have the equipment (or skill!) to deal with it. Also have a friendly local...

Re: Any point in replacing ball joints, track rods+ends when putting on powerflex bus I'm sold on doing ball joints. Just not sure on benefit of track rods and ends though, be another £100 odd quid + labour?

Re: Any point in replacing ball joints, track rods+ends when putting on powerflex bus Do you mean nope don't bother with the ball joints etc or you mean you did everything and it made a big difference?

Car is 05 plate with 45k. As far as I know still on original engine mounts, suspension parts and bushes. Got a bit of an occasional knock on lift off of hard acceleration and can knock itself out of gear under hard acceleration in 1st. Going to powerflex the dogbone and thought I may aswell...

+1 for Osram Nightbreakers. Replaced standard dipped and main beam and they were a big improvement, much whiter light aswell.

The quotes are in. £296 £240 £224 Glad I'm not paying for it!
