Rear Screen Scratch remover.
For years I have used the BMW cabrio rear screen cleaner. The one that comes in a tube and looks like toothpaste.
BMW no longer have this product although it still has a part number and price.
Anyone used the Renovo product?

Re: Winter Tyre Thread
I leave the M with its all year tyres and dont drive it much.
The Alpina gets the works though with winter tyres and new alloys.
Cost -- dont ask.
For full on Alpina wheels and tyres over £4000
Opted for a BMW alloy (style 284) and non run flat tyres but still expensive.
