Probably has bits of metal floating around in the oil now too. :hmmm:

 

That was over 15,000 miles ago, but the oil was actually alright. Yeah, there were metal bits in but that's normal haha.

:eek:

I'll give it the odd squirt, but I'm familiar with best engine run-in practices. Put load on the engine, don't sit at one RPM for too long, and don't redline it. :)

 

Progressively give it more and more as you go, just make sure it's warmed up. 110bhp is plenty power, so +/- 5 isn't going to be a big issue.

Correct! My VFR is pushing around the 120-125 BHP mark, but that's with an awful lot of tuning.

That's a great bike ry nice purchase ... I wish I had a bike :cry: Looks stunning now that I've seen your images properly loving the overall looks :thumbsup:

[The Compensator]

I like the looks of the BMW R nineT bike. That's the only bike I would probably buy. I don't like bikes, but I would ocasionally drive it and most of the time it would be parked next to my M3. :cool:

You what.

I'm scared of them. Fell of my KTM too many times when I was younger.

 

[Ryzza5]

Well maybe stick to a normal bicycle when young like normal people. :lol: Do a few training courses (that provide their own bikes and gear) if available and see how you go, perhaps. That's how I started.

[And3rs]

I'm scared of bikes too, but that doesn't mean I don't like them. I think that if I ride one, I'll just go much faster and kill myself even harder than I would if I crashed with a car :hmmm:

[Margebadze]

i dont like bikes too :)

Finally got my car to my house, first bath and polish :D

Don't worry, heading to Halfords tomorrow :D

I expect to see a Dimma kit on it by the end of the year. ;)

Finally got round to sorting the O/S/F wing on the coffee...

Not as bad as i expected, with about 85% of it being surface rust and the rest is nothing that filler can't solve.

Still, slow progress to be made yet.

Nice one. I ended a long-ish trip on Saturday on exactly 88,000km in the Golf.

How long have you had it for?

 

We bought it in July 2009 (one year after the LCI 3 Series went into production) with circa twelve thousand kilometres as a certified pre-owned vehicle so that's 88k in 6 years - four thousands are mine. :)

 

So far this is the list of issues we had in chronological order if anyone's interested (which I doubt):

• headlight washer system leaking - plugged it out (it just makes a lot of mess on the front end anyway)
  
• adaptive light sensor failure 2x - repair didn't help, needed a new item
  
• driver's seat heating not working - since December 2014, it's an expensive repair and haven't done anything with it yet
  
• passenger's adjustable side bolsters not working - since December 2014, again an expensive repair but isn't as annoying
  
• timing chain - typical N47D20 problem, 100k is usually when the chain snaps so this needs to be done ASAP
  

 

Otherwise nothing. *knock knock knock*

Had it since August 2010 with just under 6,000kms. First 2 years I drove a lot of A- and B-roads for pleasure and racked them all up that way. Have done a few long work trips and a holiday interstate, which included an all-day spirited drive on deserted mountain roads. Haven't had any proper failures, just mainly software updates to tweak/improve things.

What model is your BMW, MB?
