Re: Bevel box / propshaft. The way they line up
Some models have a slightly shorter paralever strut (lower arm) which does this and slightly raises the rear end, and reportedly gives faster steering. Nothing to worry about.

Re: Have BMW really shaken off the pipe and slippers image

This is a big att...

Touchup bottle from ebay to this code matches really well.

Re: Too old to ride
