    Trevose Head between Morgan Porth and Padstow. National Trust car park right at the end of the peninsula.
    Stunning part of the world.

    You will need a live account with BMW connect.
    Search for my other thread on here, I asked the same and ended up buying a six month account, £85.
    I find it quite useful.

    Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. Does look pretty moody doesn’t it?! The Cornish scenery helps a bit....

    Probably best you start your own thread on this, adding to other people’s post won’t get as many looks. And deflects from the focus of the original post/thread.

    Great trip to Cornwall, the car performed brilliantly all round.
    Extra beer and a full contingent of UK clothing for an Easter holiday (from flip flops to walking boots and rain coats!) and the car was loaded for the return. Stopped at the services on the M5 to take a pic:

    Low rider....

    Need to watch those kerbs with the full load and the M Sport front bumper:

    Just about got away with that one.....

    Pinged up that it needs a service soon, brake fluid change. Looked on the Sytners website and they are quoting £78 inclusive. Also shows I’ve not had the battery cable recall done, bit annoying as I’ve had the car from them.
    Will get a quote from the local indie I used for the oil and filter to see his prices.

    Air filter changed. Took all of 1 min and £18. Not sure why BMW charge £67 for it.....

    Borg and Beck.
    Quality looks pretty good to me, certainly as good as the official BMW one I took out and threw. At that price I will change at each oil change.

    Updated the exhaust tip today, the older aluminium one wasn’t to my taste, looked a bit old and worn. Bought a black chrome cover from our friendly BMW supplier on here.

    Before and after:

    Driven the car briefly today, I am convinced that the new exhaust has added at least 0.05bhp to the car....

    Booked in at Sytners for a brake fluid change and visual inspection service tomorrow. Will be having the work office from their showroom for an hour or two....hope the coffee is good.
    Price was pretty much the same as the indie I use, so thought I’d take advantage of their WiFi for a change.
