Default I've been buying presents for the 8

Well apart from the 5 tyres I got for dirt cheap I've also replaced the cracked 19" spare for a second hand wheel off the bay, so now I can have a spare in the boot so I don't have to phone recovery if I was to get a puncture



Got my AK aerial for DAB and telestart



And for the finale I got two BRAND SPANKING NEW!! Seat base covers, for an absolute steel



Slowly getting things ticked off the list, still haven't got the bloody timing chain tensioners done yet though or the gearbox service, but I'm getting through it slowly

eBay, been watching them for ages, they got reduced by loads and I snapped them up, I don't want to fit them because there brand new just need to find a passenger seat so I can have a better top half of seat too, it's not bad yet but could be better.

Oh and £850ish brand new

I think its for remote starting the cabin heater so you can have a nice and toasty car ready to go in the mornings

That's correct dell, it uses a wireless remote that turns the webasto heater on, it can also be timed to come on at certain times, either by remote or with MMI, my e39 had it and it was a nicely needed function esp on the depths of winter and it also helps reduce cold engine wear, just need to get mine working properly first this car will not beat me haha!
