Add this to the things I wish I had done sooner! Old MTF LT2 changed for Royal Purple Syncromax. Now I’m not going to say that it’s cured all the grumpiness of the ZF gearbox, 1st to 2nd can still be a little notchy, but I’m very pleased how much easier shifting it is and seems to be getting...

I did a thing! For a while now I’ve been increasingly paranoid about an exhaust leak mid-front of my Z4M. A tapping/ticking/chuffing sort of sound which was prominent when driving slowly past a armco barrier etc. I couldn’t see any issues underneath so left it alone. Whilst enjoying some...

I bought bosch sensors from opie oils - was a straight plug and play swap. This was the two before the cat on a z4m.

Finally took the plunge and fitted an eventuri yesterday. I can see my mpg suffering a dip as the noise is quite addictive :lol: good kit and everything just went on as per the instructions. Seems most vocal/resonant 3-5krpm :evil:

Hiya, With my MOT approaching in March I recall a comment from last year that the flanges connecting the x pipe to the rear silencers were looking a bit ropey. Having taken a look with a torch at least one side is fractured through the flange on the x pipe side and the bolts don’t look like...

Quick photo of my old battery which ties in with the part number of realoem.

Next on my list of preventative maintenance are some fresh spark plugs and some ignition coils. 59k covered on the original coils over nearly 12 years makes me think they could do with a refresh as it’s not unheard of for them to break. The engine has felt a little hesitant to pick up of late...

I’m sure my oil temperature gauge used to reach 10/11 o clock so I thought I would plug in my OBD2 ELM widget and dashcommand to see what was happening. From cold the coolant warmed up to 70c fairly quickly but then on dashcommand took quite a long time to get to 80c. This seemed fairly low to...

This one from last Sunday’s meet at The Warren near Danbury, Essex.

Zonda Roadster F please..

As June edges closer I wondered if any fellow z4 owners were attending this year. After a few years of practical car sharing I’m dusting off the M to use is it was intended :evil: I’ll be on the Thursday morning euro tunnel crossing at 07:06 and camping at the Thomas Cook Sporting Village...

My Z4M will be needing some new boots soon a combination of old rubber age, lower temperatures and wear down to 3/4-mm means the TC light is making many an appearance. Currently it has the OEM Contisport M3's which I gather are pretty poor compare to modern designs and compounds. I had...

Brrrr cold outside, it’s a bit faded but you can see the part - should be available in b&q etc :thumbsup:

I've always used TWS/Edge pro (then FST now supercar) and I'm tempted to do an intermediate oil change this weekend. Now Shell has the contract with BMW the dealers stock Twinpower 10w-60, however is this the same as Helix Ultra Racing which is readily available at eurocarparts who happen to...

Just back from my MOT and it's fair to say that the rear exhaust clamps which fix the back boxes on have seen better days. One bolt head has completely rusted away and they are a bit crumbly but seems gas tight... for now :) Can anyone who has replaced them offer any advice on where they...
