Then you should stay away from underneath the car as there you will visit MIDAS 4 times, ask me. There is nuts and bolts you haven't seen before and try and explain that to the guys at the spare shop.

And that is 4 times from under the car, getting ready in under the car and then WTF moment and out to spare shop with a photo of the nut or bolt down the isle of the shop, browsing.... working on a BMW definitely has it's upside :roflol:
