Had the M3 serviced...
... wow, what a difference!
must have been a sensor knackered or something... it's transformed the car (and it was GOOD before!) much smoother at low throttle openings,
40MPG on the mway and feels a tad nippier on full throttle too!
big thanks to Pete mould Works in chelmsford
also big thanks to mr foster for the AI606 aswell, much happier with it than i was with the shonky sigma alarm!

NIce one Jim! 
A friend of mine has just bought one. Makes me look at the cossie and the troubles I am currently having, and wonder whether it is ever worth the bloody effort!

I hope that you are familiar with FAB Motors? (BMW Breaker specialist) Very very good for second hand BMW parts - I use them a lot for my other car!

You've got the right idea there Jim getting it serviced by a garage.
I've spent most of the day on mine and every drain plug on mine is on so tight I've already gashed a inch wound in my head loosening the transfer box one. The bloody engine sump plug is so badly rounded off its circular! Don't know how that fookers coming off. No wonder the last keeper hadn't changed the oil
