Hi all, My recently purchased an e86. The paint work is in very good condition. However, I've noticed a few stone chips and a couple of little areas where the paint has stated to bubble (half the size of a 5p coin). Can anyone recommend a body shop that could fix these up? I live just outside...

Ha! Yes better had. Or my wheels will be overtaking me!

Hi, I have a 2006 E86 Coupe 3.0si. The original wheel nuts are looking a bit tired! Any recommendations on decent sets and / or sellers. Thanks.

Yes, I took the plastic clip off. Be careful. It's not easy. Use some long nosed pliers. I also taped the metal bodywork to avoid any mishaps. From memory, I then put the new clip on, and then replaced the washer and nut. From memory, I think you can replace thew washer and nut with or without...

You’ll be pleased hopefully, as mine was a near perfect match to the OEM one that snapped. This black click surrounds a small bolt and washer arrangement, check check if the nut is still on, as on mine, the nut and washer was missing. Good luck with the repair.

Hi all, I wanted to share a positive experience whilst I repaired my E86 over the weekend. On removing the front bumper, a couple of weeks ago I snapped one of the plastic bumper plastic hangers. This hanger clips into the wheel arch and is directly behind the clear / white side refectler. I...

Thanks! So for the sidelight, I don't recognise the part codes you've provided. Do you have the OEM part numbers for both the sidelight and indicator? Sorry to be a pain!

Hi all, happy easter hols! Embarrassed to ask this, but is the small bulb at the bottom (from the headlamp of an E86) the side light? If so, what part number is this? When I removed the small bulb, it looks liked it's been sprayed with a dull chrome coating. Also, the indicator bulb, what part...

Thanks. There doesn't appear to be an issue with the cartridge. I'll take a further look, but when I last looked at it, everything appeared fine. I'll take your advice on the fuse. As previosley mentioned, the head unit is not recognising the changer, when I cycle through. I'll keep going! It's...

I'm currently refurbing my E86 fog lights. Has anyone used a chrome spray to refurb the mirrored backing within the unit? I've come across this product whist trawling the internet. Anyone used this, or is there a better product out there...

Hi all, After a pair of front fog lights for a Z4 E86 Coupe (2006). Long shot I know! Thanks!

Thanks Zedebee! Would either or work?

Hi, Is anyone able to tell me which part number these plugs are? I've looked on various websites, but the part image doesn't look like the plugs I've pulled out! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. These little buggers cost me £1.67 each!
