New 640d GC owner

[milu]

Thought I best start a different thread than the insurance one

Bought a run out 2018 Sonic blue GC
1 owner
Cream interior
Keyless
HUD
VDC
Adaptive LED lights
360 cameras
20” bi- colour wheels. ( with blisters on the diamond cut part. Need a refurb but I have an alternative set on stand by)

Seems nice so far
Need to get stuck in tomorrow to clean some parts of the leather and carpet. And of course give the exterior a good buff up

Couple of questions
The drivers seat moves a bit. I did read about this but not sure of the cause/ solution??

No powered boot lid. Not bothered but surprised. There’s a lock button on the lid. Not sure what that’s for

I’m sure I will think of something else….

It’s more of a click left and right as you go round corners. Apparently lubricating the bushes underneath is the cure. So I’ll give that a try.

Early days before bringing back to life.
Wheels are a scabby mess. But who wants full grey wheels anyway?
I have some silver ones on standby

[milu]

New wheels on
Think they look better. I do prefer silver wheels. But I’m not bowled over though.
I’ll give em a few days.
Drives better though minus RF tyres

I think 351 are what’s on in a 19” variety
The bi colour ones are 20”. Same style as previous years but of course not silver. So I could just get them refinished.

These wheels were bought for my Insignia touring. Hadn’t fitted them and then of course bought the 6. Just a happy accident.

I wonder if something with more metal in might be better. Like an Alpina wheel or similar

It’s interesting though. The Oem wheels. One has been replaced completely and one welded.
3 of them really rough were the diamond finish is. RF tyres don’t help with the impacts but it’s not a good reflection of quality overall regardless.

They look nice. I’m definitely using VDC with 20’s on.

I did the lubricant thing. Just under the seat some plastic? parts. Quick spray and the clicks have gone. Got the info from a BM forum

Well the silver wheels didn’t last long. Although I’m being contrary with my general dislike for bicolour diamond cut wheels,I do think these look better. Car needs to settle a bit after jacking. And a bit of sunshine wouldn’t go amiss
