Guys,

Currently have the 540i booked into the garage to have the above done (plus a backbox fitted), do you have to remove the spare wheel/go into the wheel well to complete either of these jobs?

Just realised that there is something in there that is hugely embarrassing if so which may make collecting the car a little difficult...

If they need to do any welding to the exhaust then they'll probably want to isolate the battery, which in your 540i is probably located behind the offside flap/panel of your boot....which is kind of close to your offending spare wheel well. (My E39 M5 battery is in what would have been a wheel well; in my E39 530d the battery is located behind the o/s panel/flap thing.)

Diff seal replacement shouldn't involve them going into the boot at all.






Let me guess...your stash of......


...lightly-soiled women's underwear you keep "for rags..useful when checking the oil." (Yeah, right!...see next.)

...well-thumbed strong pornography?

...complete ABBA CD set?

...ALL last year's editions of 'My Little Pony'?

...Carol Vorderman/Dale Winton fitness/workout DVDs + blow up look-a-like mannequin..it's actually your secret shrine to him/her...(please, no, NOT Dale Winton!)

...all of the above?



We must know!

(Apologies, but you can't post teasers without expecting to get replies like this! smile)

st, totally forgot about the battery!!!

Its right next to it frown

Well, I'll likely regret saying but....I'm currently in the process of moving, my GF's doing the same. To stop it being difficult when her parents helped her I said I'd look after the bag containing a big purple dildo, shed loads of lube, a cock ring and a few empty pack of condoms....

FFS, as a sole bloke going to pick it up I'm going to get given some proper dodgy looks frown
