When I click on my boot release button (under the dash) - nothing happens. The boot opens from my key remote. I checked the button itself with the multimeter - it's fine The signal arrives to the comfort module. The wires are fine - both because I checked them and because my remote opens it...

I have an E85 Z4 that’s currently lowered on cheap Racing Line (Chinese) coilovers: http://bit.ly/432Ja9q It’s also running on 19" wheels, and the ride quality is really bad—super crashy and harsh over bumps. I suspect the car is lowered too much and riding on the bump stops. Do you have any...

Hey everyone, I recently upgraded the audio setup in my E85 Z4 from a base 6-speaker setup and ran into a bit of a problem I’m hoping someone here might help with. I installed these Ground Zero GZIW 16.5 subwoofers behind the seats...

Ah yes, I moved my pump to the boot. I also inspected it and the reservoir looks near full. Everything around the pump is absolutely dry. I didn't check the whole loop though. I fought with my previous convertible MK1 Audi TT pump and I know the symptoms of a leaking system. How the roof...

I’ve run into a weird issue on my E85 Z4 and could use some insight. After washing the car with a pressure washer (I sprayed the roof seams, third brake light, trunk edges—basically all over), I noticed quite a bit of water pooling on the left-hand side of the boot, as well as in the left...

I'm in the process of replacing my speakers. Where can I find the exact speaker dimensions so I'll know what replacements should I order? I know that I need 25 mm twitters, 100mm mids and 160mm lows. But what depth etc.?

The pops and bangs on a stock program and stock kats aren't that noticeable. It's just a hint of pops. And I'm coming from M2 with M Performance exhaust. Well you can always ask the garage to make a cut in the exhaust, drive around the block and see how you like it :) Think outside the box ;)

So I have the base speaker setup. I fixed the bluetooth problem and now I'm ready for upgrading the speakers. I bought for really cheap the OEM subwoofers and mounting hardware. And now I'm looking for amp, mid and tweeters. Obviously I did my initial google search and what I found is I...

I did a backbox removal and decided to switch to louder muffler. However now I have decided to totally change my exhaust. The drone, between 2k and 3k rpm in unbearable. And this is the typical cruising rpm and it's impossible to have a normal conversation :) There are two pipes coming from...

Random question - I've seen how Miatas have no foam in the center section of the seats. And I could swear someone did this for E85 (although not sure). So I'm asking directly here - anyone tried something like this? :)

I bought a high quality bluetooth dongle for AUX. I unfortunately don't have the capability of skipping songs, or being able to take calls. But the connection is rock solid.

Amazing! Thank you! This also correlates with me leaving half of my lights on, when I leave the car. It's pretty lowered and I'm a big guy, so I often get out without any dignity, knocking the indicator stalk.

Hi, I noticed twice that headlights in my Z are staying on when I leave and close my car. But after a moment they turn themselves off. Obviously the dial is vertically at 0. I can't replicate this, but maybe there is some manual trick I'm doing for activating this? Or maybe I just...

And yet - how can you explain that with the exactly the same setup the black radio shows AUX in the options and the grey one doesn't? Same car, same plugs, same everything, just different radio.

Nah I don't think it's the white sub-plug. I already fiddled with it. I also pulled all the cables on both ends (the main car ones and the dongle) and nothing seems loose. I am however curious about the topic of i-bus. I read some topics about the Bluebus and the main developer (?) was often...
