Fanatics to the rescue

[TMP TOYS]

Im not one to really post a new thread on the forum, but i need to do this...

So we decide to take a drive this morning just to enjoy our cars and the open road, met at Malibongwe vw at about 6am.... There were supposed to be a few guys, but due to the cold weather, just Brett and I met up...

On my way to the meeting point, my car shows loss of tyre pressure, so i continue driving, and now the steering starts to feel funny. Anyway, get to the meeting point, and decide to check the tyres... Surprise surprise... Rear right tyre has a slit in the back. Being an M3, no spare wheel in the car....
Thats when Brett rocks up in his sweet sounding Z4M...

Also no spare wheel, so he decides to drive all the way back home to get his oem wheels...

Sitting in the car googling which tyre shops are open on a sunday, obviously none around us... When Fuzz rocks up in his 'ON CALL' vehicle.

We get talking, when Brett gets back with his 'ON CALL' vehicle.

The guys from Engen garage change the rims for us, and we head off for breakfast. Later on find out the front tyres leaking also... So builders it was for a can of tyre weld, and we head off in our separate directions home...

Cut long stories short... First time meeting both these gentlemen, and let me say a HUGE thank you to both of them...

They went out if their way to help a fellow fanatic.... BIG RESPECT To you both....

Knowing both those guys pretty well and lucky enough to call them friends, i have learnt not to expect any less.

Anytime! It's sad the tyre gave out, but I'm glad nothing fatal happened.

Well done. I have heard tyre weld is extremely corrosive though...

Hi guys,thanks so much for all the response according my message earlier, I took the car back and it is currently in for service. I was really pissed off how they handled me as a client and the situation of the car. As I drove it it started to shake and pull as if there's no power moving forward. They couldn't find the problem...they moved the car to another BMW specialist and find the computer to be the problem...luckily the dealership is paying for the service. I hope they sort out the problem and will then only get my car back by next week...urgh...but other way I appreciate the help you guys provided me so far and will let you all know when I have the next update. Enjoy and be safe!:=):
