    Ridex brake parts from Autodoc

    I bought Ridex brake rotors and pads for my car from Autodoc. I installed them myself, so I checked everything carefully during installation. Overall, I’m satisfied it’s a very decent option for the price.Admittedly, it’s not a premium brand, but the parts work perfectly well for regular daily...

    Headlights fogging up inside after rain or washing. its normal or a sealing issue?

    The strange part is that the condensation doesn’t stay permanently after some time (usually a few hours or sometimes overnight), it gradually disappears on its own and the headlights look clear again. However, it keeps coming back every time the car gets wet, which makes me think something isn’t...

    My BMW Z4 E89 28i makes a strange noise that occurs 'on schedule'.

    Hi everyone. I've encountered an issue with my 2013 BMW Z4 E89 28i (N20). Most of the time, the car runs perfectly quietly and smoothly, without any unusual noises. However, as soon as I need to drive fast for whatever reason, such as being late for work or rushing somewhere, a strange rattling...

    First Damper / Springs mod question

    Sometimes the hardest part is just confirming the exact spec you need. I’ve been using AUTODOC MARKETPLACE recently to cross-check part numbers and see what brands actually make the part.

    Vogtland Lowering Springs

    The front spring pads from an E30 M3 are often used as a reliable and inexpensive option, and are good quality. The main thing is to check their condition. Make sure the rubber is not dry, cracked or deformed. If they are almost new, they are safe to buy. The installation cost is very...

    Vogtland Lowering Springs

    Hi! I’ll go through it point by point. Many people have used Vogtland 30 mm springs on the E85, and they are generally considered to be a good option for a mild drop. The car sits noticeably lower and body roll is reduced, but the ride doesn't become overly harsh. They’re fine for daily driving...

    There is a weird engine noise when starting the engine from cold. Any ideas?

    Hi all, I’ve got a BMW 3 Series (F30, 80,000 miles). I recently noticed a metallic rattling noise when starting the engine from cold. This lasts for about 30–40 seconds and then mostly goes away once the engine is warm. There are no warning lights, the power feels normal and the oil level is...

    First BMW, need advice

    Yes, that was my mistake. I hadn't realised that we were talking about a particular BMW model. Thank you for correcting me and showing me that other models are also worth considering. My girlfriend was impressed by the Z4 she wants a convertible. She thinks it's romantic. :LOL:However, this...

    First BMW, need advice

    Hey everyone, I’m new here and just wanted to say hi. I’m from Poland and I’ve been thinking a lot about buying my first BMW. Always liked the brand, and I feel like it would finally be something I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been looking at a few models, like the E46 330i, F30 320i, and...
