Replaced all cruise control hoses with 6mm silicon hose, now have working cruise control again. Noticed throttle body heater plate dripping again, only replaced a couple of months ago, something else to fix,
More like picking your favourite venereal disease.
Like the coloured wing-mirror backs. Mine are just black which makes me wonder if yours are standard?

Mines got as you see it. Later clear indicators with pre 99 chrome headlights. Heated manual leather seats. Eleccy mirrors. Heated front screen. Wood around auto H gate. Wood along glovebox. Puddle lights in doors. A sunshine roof that dosent leak. No stereo buttons on steering wheel but got cruise control. Half colour coded front bumper soon to have fogs in too since the auto box cooler isnt in the corner of the bumper anymore. Rear bumpers black with red inserts. No cd changer or factory sub in boot. Or no bloody cup holders (most annoying thing) haha. Time to fine wash it underneath and get handy with the underseal i think found a scab on chassis by rear wheel when it was just dangling playing about so whole thing needs done asap

I think someone may have upgraded it. Kind but save them for yourself. The missus has already trashed 2 wing-mirrors so it'd just go the same way! I won't spray because I tried it before and without baking it out the paint doesn't look right after a few years.
Mine has clear indicators too and I didn't notice until it was parked next to another one of the same age. Inside mine has wood trim yet I'm pretty certain the DT was all plastic. Mine's had 8 previous owners though so plenty of scope for fiddling. I've speakers in doors that don't work and when I got behind to look there isn't even a loom for them!

No, not all were colour coded, usually came with colour coded bumpers as well.

Mine has colour coded mirrors and plain black bumpers, leather heated manual seats, heated screen & aircon but no sunroof.
Typical BMW, you buy a basic car and double the price from the options list.

I was lucky to find what I wanted, I won't buy a car with a sunroof and I didn't want colour coded bumpers as they soon look tatty, although with the drop down tailgate at least they don't get scratched by the dogBit of a pick and mix then, mine has everything you have but with c/c bumpers and a sun roof

Must admit the sunroof is a waste of time, to hot in the summer to have it open as it cooks your swede. Last time I opened it (by accident) I covered SWMBO with the 6 inches of snow that was on the roof. Result, vision and no sound for days after.

After seeing the damage to a scull when a car flipped and the blokes head dragged on the ground through the broken sun roof I swore I'd never buy another car with a glass panel of any sort in the roof

I have my sunroof disabled with the nanacom and the wires unpluged from the motor

You must get on with your SWMBO then, it was the only time I could retaliate and claim innocence
