Very unusual but if you like to find out exactly, you need a OBD scanner. The error occurances will be saved in the ECU log. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torquemeister 1st Gear November 3, 2012 Share November 3, 2012 i saw a matt white M3 some time ago and looks great.. whats the trouble with matt white? pls enlighten me.. Well from what I hear should one opt for matt anything - it is quite a delicate surface and highly susceptible to staining and damage due to bird droppings etc. Just think about it - you cannot just use a polish to remove as you wil lcreate a shiny spot. Apparently there is a special tratment in such cases and this has to be done rather quickly once droppings or fallout is detected on the paint. Second point - you are going to get a much better "effect" using matt if it is a dark colour rather than white as you then see the shadows from the body contours better with a matt surface. Frankly it is a trend that will last five minutes and I can almost guarantee that resale on matt finishes wil lbe poor due to aforementioned maintenance AND a trend that will disappear. Oh and a very slight increase in fuel consumption due to higher surface resistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquemeister 1st Gear November 3, 2012 Share November 3, 2012 I see some for the 159 .. must see it on a car then can decide. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FK-ABS-SPORT-FRO...=item5d3281ce84 And one more thing - the Brera has a blacked out bonnet grille compared to the 159. Again these you can pick up off eBay for a reasonable price. IMO they look classier and less chromy so whether you go for blacked out grille on the horeshoe or not I would do this for sure. And they are completely interchangeable with 159. I bought a spare in case the unthinkable might happen :( Here is the part in question - just go buy and fit it will look more modern and classier :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-new-Genuin...8ca7&_uhb=1 Now Ive probably started a run on them DARN DARN - should set up Brera Grille Futures fund lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
