What have you done to your car today?

[markplant]

Found out today that my roof goes up with the key fob, only taken a year to find out. Am I right in thinking on an 04 plate this is either coding or a gaptech??

If you press an have to hold the the key fob button it's coding, if you press unlock 3 times and it drops or unlock 2 times then lock once an it closes it's a gaptech or similar

Probably because the previous owner was in the "completely daft" category. It gets better: he(she) fitted 225/40 tires, rather than 225/45, to the front, and that ate up about another half inch of precious front bumper clearance.

you mean they fit 225 45 rather than 225 40

Removed the 18inch "M Paras" i was running temporary & fitted the 19inch Veemanns ive had waiting

[wyshyvanuk]

The brochures, "manual" and door sill sticker that I've been able to view all specify 225/45 as the correct front tire size for the Z4M. If this is not correct I will be cast into a deep depression.

The oldies are still the goodies, I like these, they remind of the m5 style (e39?)

Yep they are / were a classic but so hard to find now as a set of 4 undamaged or that aren't ridiculously priced .
Not unusual to see £400 asks for shabby sets needing refurb & rubber , £650/£850 for decent sets ( genuine )
Asking £450 for mine totally unmarked with quality rubber

I do like this style, but unsure on fitment, so will pass. At that asking price they should sell quickly.
Thanks.

A bit of afternoon fun - does it look a little tacky or ok, what are people's thoughts?

Love the look of those. Price seems keen, especially with good rubber included. Would these go on my E85 2.5i SE on sport springs, not lowered? Spacers required?
