since I had prepared everything in advance, this was basically done in 2 minutes.

After removing that leather cover ...


Putting all back in place, together with the RAM-mount ball ...


TomTom in place:

rear wheel dolly, unloaded.


rear wheel dolly, loaded. done easier than I thought. just place behind rear wheel, lock small wheels. drive onto it in reverse gear. unlock small wheels.


front wheel dolly in open, unloaded position.


front wheel dolly in loaded position. basically one pumps up the car/wheel with at foot lever.


M3W moved in its final tight parking space. I push&pulled the vehicle into position.

in love with life. that's it.

Dont use those ornamental valve caps on the rear ( I know you wouldn't as you cant see them ) , as there is a good chance the drive belt will shear them off and instantly no pressure in your rear tyre. Doesnt do the handling any good etc.
