I thought they were, but they look like 19’s… excellent, look good. Do you have spacers fitted?AlphaEchoAlpha wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:32 pmThanks, they're BMW Style 216.

Just 5mm on the rear. Got a little bit of rubbing from the fronts at first but it's also lowered. I really like them, I have some photos in my thread of them test fitted in silver too.True-Blue wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:35 pmI thought they were, but they look like 19’s… excellent, look good.

That’d be something! One for summer, one for winter..? No, the second box is something even better, and quite a lot bigger too: an AFe cold air intake
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Decided it was time for a valve check. Only two that were ever so slightly borderline.
Glad to see the top end is still looking clean and varnish free after nearly 70k.
Next step is a thorough clean, after nearly 1000 miles of motorways the bug collection is pretty substantial!

It’s a fairly good sign that it will need replacing, hopefully with this video you will get your key working again.The_Real_BruceWayne wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 7:55 amI just purchased my Z4. I have been pressing the button but hear no locking/unlocking sound or the side light flash. My car only unlocks the doors if I'm within close proximity. Do you think the internal battery is dead?Debell192 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 6:52 pm Replaced the key battery, now I can lock/unlock the car from a distance again!
Here’s a video on how to do it.

When I retrofitting electric M-Sport seats some 15 years ago I had to add wiring from the fuse box and shamefully used non-oem connectors to connect to the seats' wiring. Now sourced the proper power quadlock crimp terminals and rectified the power wiring to use the X279 connectors like oem. This weight saving of several grams improves the power to weight ratio and for detailing, makes seat removal convenient.

Passed it's MOT yesterday with no issues, although on the advisories they listed "front brake pipes corroded but not weakened". All the brake pipes were replaced 12 months ago to get it through it's MOT Will need to get it up on ramps to have a look; no way they should be corroded already! It's hardly been used in the last year.
