Took my Beemer to have new aux belts and a change in gear oil. Got it up on the ramps, removed a small cover to expose the gear box and noticed the slave was external. (Brand new as it was changed with the clutch just a few months ago). Gear oil was changed from nasty black to clear BMW spec oil. Next thing I noticed was the diesel filter is under the passenger seat?(New again) and there is a handy flap to open to do engine oil changes so you dont remove the whole tray etc. (Take note Halfrauds).
Once car was down two new belts fitted and as its rear wheel drive very easy to get to. The exhaust and flexi pipe are very new by the looks also so fingers crossed no nasty bills for a few years.

Not had a productive day like this for ages. Oh I changed a few nuts and bolts under the bonnet that were rusty in old MG ZT/R75 fashion that has moved to my new car!
I dont have sat nav or a rear blind like my old car which I miss but maybe in my next one lol!
