    New Vreds - Weird

    I made the switch from RFT's last month to Continental Contisportcontact 3 last month. For the first week or so I actually thought there was something loose in the steering!! :o The 'looseness' and 'wallow' at 70mph+ was unreal. I was beginning to think that I had made an expensive error in...

    Lads, Are these diffusers no longer available to purchase from BMW? I have one on my coupe and I would agree that they are a great mod.

    Powder Coated 108 wheels (pics)

    Hi Colin, I split my wheels myself. All they needed was a gentle tap with a wood mallet and they (the star) popped out. Did all 4 and had no issues. I put them back together and used 'thread glue' when putting back the bolts. 8) The wheels have been back on my car for over 3 months now with...

    108's Refurb

    Hi Sixshoota, If you are a DIY person in any form, I would really advise you to look at the DIY section on refurbishing your 108's yourself. I followed the great DIY guide and refurbished 3 of my wheels in 2 days over the weekend. First wheel took 6 hours (I admit) but got the last one done in 4...

    Anyone come from an Elise, VX or similar?

    Hi Johnny Mito, I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I feel my Z4 coupe could be a little more 'raw'. I owned a Z3 MR for 6 months and then a Z3MC for 2 years before I bought my Z4 coupe. 3 years ago when I was looking to buy a new car, I looked at a Lotus Exige (which was even cheaper...

    Black 108's ??

    I see PWO split his wheels before he got them refurbished (which is the way I thought they should be done). I went to a alloy wheel shop this week looking for advice and the guy in the shop advised me from splitting my 108 wheels. Said that they wouldn’t 'seal' as well when they were put back...
