Wire wheels
Has anybody fitted 15/6.5J wheels to series 3 roadster? I have read an article where they say the tyres can foul on the tubs when loaded of over bumps . Is this true. Is there any mods you can do. I would really like to fit wider wheels but could be an expensive mistake. Please all advice appreciated

Recommended oil
Hi , can you please advise what the best engine oil to use in my series 3 V12. I live in Uk and occasionally drive in the cold . Thankyou

At a recent classic car event a guy suggested that adding a small amount of 2 stroke oil to the E5 petrol creates a better and fuller burn . Anyone heard this before and does it improve performance ?

Re: Experiences with ceramic coating
Yes I would agree. I had my evoque voted a couple of years ago . Its well worth it. You do have to leave the paintwork for a week or two before getting the job done . I will be having my ots done this winter after a external respray .
