This arrived today. Hope to fit it tomorrow. Do you all know what it is?
And gave the coupe a lovely soapy hand wash.

Thanks for that. Not sure how I feel.about it. Are you pleased?

Tbh I used a carbon effect on the roadster, which when new looked great, but as I use it more as protection for the lower bumper....even though I do like the look...I think the black will last longer, the carbon effect is fubared now.
You can out it anywhere on the car.
Saves lots if kerb damage.
And it's also easy to change.

Amazing how much a few wheel badges and m stickers refresh a tired looking wheel!

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??

Replaced the Bridgestone DriveGuard run-flats, applied by the previous owner, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Not a proper test of the full capabilities of the tire, however....
Were these tires a life-changing experience on the Z4M? Did I feel as though I was cushioned by melted marshmallows? Was I transported to the world of precision blandness as exemplified by the Boxster (apologies).
No, to all of the above, BUT the tires did eliminate much of the sharp, jittery, suspension responses to road imperfections that chipped my teeth and left my hands with carpel tunnel syndrome. Overall, an excellent improvement to the drivability of the M.

Why did you have run flats fitted to an M?
