Still looking at M3's but i have to admit the car is impressing me at the moment, 325 miles to a tank this week :)
Ill get the door sorted next month if i still have it!

Impressive considering I sometimes only get 400 from my TDI lol

Well more issues!
I've discovered that I have a hole in my rad!
I'm hoping that this is the cause of my coolant leak, even though it's been leaking for a long time.
Pics of the rad:

That's booked in for Monday.

But while the bumper was off I secured my splitter on a bit better with some Stainless allen bolts and nylock nuts :)

And as you can see I'm slowly wearing through the bottom of the splitter

Seeing as it's still snowy and the bits left in the middle of the road near me are turning to ice, this is what I get while driving over it :lol: haha
(Sorry for blank video, it's just sound)
Scraping noises
