Hi sorry for the oversize i'll downsize 'em when as soon as i get back home

The shaft was repaired the BM way ... putting buck-load of money ... but more technically with engine tear down. BM recommends put your leg under the engine so the shaft doesn't brake

(loose slope)I went up like 2k further to that stream/river/pond that look really dodgy so decided to go back since I was alone and late

but talking to a 4wd i came across he said u could go for a while still ...

How did you go getting the gear shift shaft repaired after the CCA weekend? (hope I've got the right person). Did it involve a complete engine tear down or did BMW come up with something clever?

Cheers R

P.S. you might want to reduce the picture size ASAP less the mods deal to you. Info on max sizes here.

Ahem what about the Mangatapu Bridge incident as well. You are a very trusting/brave pillion!

.....

Mashed foot/leg or lots of money - sounds like BMW just created the perfect money spinner to me.
