It's Gloucester Old Spot, not Gloucestershire.

The Gloucester Old Spot is also a decent pub

That'll be a moment to treasure when he's off to the abattoir, if the F&M outbreak widens

My 3 series came without a torch, so I emailed BMW UK and was told all 2006 (model year I assume) 3 series came without a torch. So I went on Ebay and got one for a couple of quid.

Mine was a 2005 (Year 1) build and came with a torch. I would be lost without it...

He's too busy making himself a Dandelion & Burdock on his in-car Sodastream, to remember he has a xenon beam in his Bosch!

Is there a Xenon mod for the torch?
Can you get the switch lowered?

Below is a leaked shot of the new BMW M-Torch, due for release in week 36 of this year, apparently.

The 5 xenon bulbs are probably bright enough to blind any unsuspecting passer-by, which explains the torch having to be photographed in the off position.

The on/off switch can be lowered into the 'on' position & can also be lifted into the off state.

Posts on talkcrapaboutbmwtorches.com suggest that a 3rd-party provider will have a re-map available to allow the torch to produce a 12K beam in excess of 5000 lumens.

The new BMW 'TuffNut' alloy used to build the casing, is rumoured to be able to withstand 2 fat ladies sitting on it for anywhere upto 3 minutes- unbelievable. This also makes this torch completely untorchable.

The only downside to this new device is the fact that it will require a battery the size of Graham the pig, and, in Paul's own words, '...Graham is no small porker...'

Does my car have a torch?! Perhaps I should take a look. It's got a nice set of Xenons on the front I know that much.
