Thanks Ian, I used to do pad changes on my Gemini (early 80's), and my Laser (1986-2001), but I've never attempted pad changes on the Beemers. I'd assume that...
Thanks Ian, I'll forward instructions to all now for the drive bit. Cheers Garry _____ From: BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com] On...
Thanks Ian, the rotors should be fine. Whilst the wear lip is quite pronounced, and therefore definitely requires machining if new pads are going in. But my...
Hi, just noticed my mechanic has put my throwing stars on backwards on 2 wheels. (can't be turing up at the Alps with them like that) I have tried pulling the...
Ok I've yanked one off now. But I haven't got one of the funny 6 sided bits so I'll have to drop into the mechanic during the week. Does anyone hear their...

Andrew I had the same noise and discovered that it was the wheels, a little dob of silicon on the inner bit stops the rattle,but I would get the tyres changed...
Mintex ? I have them in the front of #18 and they do produce less dust than the BMW supplied Pagids. In theory they should produce less pedal feel being a...
Hi Andrew, I always though you had to have the wheel off to remove the throwing star caps, and the rattle will definitely be loose caps Cheers G _____ From:...
Hi Frank, I paid about $80 each for front rotors( genuine ATE ) for my daughter's 540i earlier this year. Be aware that rotors on minimum thickness are more...
Hi all, Many of you will recognise the curly headed kid in the photo as my son Bailey, you will also recognise that the car Bailey is standing in front of is...
I will vouch for Mintex 1166 pads. Great on road and track. Don't dust anywhere near as much as the OEM Pagids. Just replace the rotors with the OEM ones. The...
Thanks Ian, thanks all, whilst I absolutely can't say it for BMW Australia (!!), I can say it for Geoff ... my euro-mechanic ... that I trust him. He was the...
Andrew, Take my advice, do not (DO NOT) show up on Friday with the throwing stars facing the wrong way! I'm still going to therapy from the hard time that the...
Congratulations Garry; well done. The cars look smik! Display the trophy with pride mate; just think of the M6's that never made it at all. I can vouch for the...

Frank, Yes. I know that there is no way I could resist. Its a great chance to find my limits and the cars. I am bringing my wife's new little video camera....
Hey Frank, I can't seem to find my radio. Gotta feeling I gave it to my nephew. Do you still have a spare that I could borrow. Peter ... From: Frank van den...
Yes Peter, I do, and I'll be bringing it. Garry also has a couple of spares as well, so there should be plenty on offer. pedaway@... wrote: Hey Frank,...
Great stuff Garry, if anyone deserves a trophy for perseverance, it's you. Congratulations. Oh, and it's not just your club mate. The judges at our last show...
Thanks Frank, I'd planned to bring the 6 but I couldn't find anyone I trusted willing to drive it. Also believe it or not, my wife is now seriously ill and I...
