    Recommendations for places to buy refurb OEM wheels - BMW

    TBF the tyres on my car now are the Dunlop sports, and in wet weather they're about as useful as iceskates so I wouldn't mind some different rubber.... I have never had a BMW understeer until I put these shoes on her.

    Recommendations for places to buy refurb OEM wheels - BMW

    I've been told my wheels are cooked on my e46 - I have tried to have them "refurbished" twice now, spent about R10k but they are still causing shakes and wobbles. (Bought the car like that, I don't know what they've been through lol) Anywhere in JHB you can recommend for me to have a look for...

    I bought a BMW E46 330d! Is there a Bluetooth add on for factory nav?

    When I was in Germany visiting my brother I bought an Xtrons unit and that works well: I can't use the radio, as was the case with the original nav unit the car came with. I believe there is a short somewhere in either the BCM or the powered antenna because the radio works but loses signal...

    I bought a BMW E46 330d! Is there a Bluetooth add on for factory nav?

    Doubtful anyone cares, but here's an update on the old beemer. Clocking about 350k at the moment with no warning lights. (I wfh these days and travel a lot so I don't do big mileage) In my ownership I have done some preventative maintenance, regular oil changes, redid the rear suspension as...

    What is a tech purchase you quickly regretted?

    I paid R11k on BidorBuy for an OEM look Apple Carplay sound system for my e46 BMW. I was under the impression they were importing the Xtrons ones which are European and quite pricey in GBP so figured they were adding shipping and profits. The unit that arrived was a POS Chinese copy with no...

    Suzuki S-Presso

    Bring back cheaper cars no matter how is what I would say. I just had a look at what the cheapest bakkie in SA was and I have never seen one on the road, so maybe having one look slightly more stylish or recognisable would work better in the market: (PS I love how they have tried their...

    GameBoy / GBA Flash Cart / EZFlash / Everdrive

    Thank you. I saw some of these but every review I looked at said the customer never received their stuff, or it arrived broken and had no return policy.

    Hiya, I am looking for an everdrive for the GB Advance, or any other flash cart. I can't find any available in SA. Any clues as to where I could look?

    To split fiber line or route ethernet?

    Thanks all, I will do some further testing and see what I come up with. As mentioned we do have 3 phase electricity, not sure if that might be the issue. Hopefully it'll be a relatively simple fix. It's just difficult to test because when I tested the line with my gaming laptop directly it was...

    To split fiber line or route ethernet?

    If that is the case then it's an easy solve. I bought the most expensive cable I could find on takealot, but it might have gotten damaged who knowss, are there any brands you'd recommend? I will try another cable before I go off down a rabbit hole. The main source router shouldn't be the issue...

    To split fiber line or route ethernet?

    Apologies if this is a topic already covered, I tried searching and couldn't find what I was looking for. My question, Currently staying on a plot, we have a fiber line routed to one of the properties that we share. For all intents and purposes we have more than enough bandwidth in the fiber...

    My Fiesta ST story - (some dealerships are actually great, even when their cars aren't)

    So update on this one, just because why not, I am having a slow morning. Last week I got back from my 3 month Euro stint, and I checked my paycity to see if there were any fines in my name as family had been using my current car as a spare, and I have the worst luck with roadblocks seemingly...

    Your current "want to buy" car

    Another thing I am going to be doing when I get back to SA in a few weeks is going for my bike license. I have ridden them here and there (mostly off roading) since I was about 14 but never went for the license so never bought one. Living in SA and Europe half the year a bike license will come...
