I've been looking forward to someone reviewing this and it went exactly how I expected! Ive kept my eye on the Cyberster since they announced it but never really "wanted" one, unlike the M40i/M40i manual. I can see what MG are doing and I think they've done a decent job considering what else is...

Thats a great and fun selection of cars, enjoy your next one Jim!

That must have been really nice having the G29 when it came out in 2019. Did you have a Z4 or similar before or was this your first? That first drive home must have been ace in an M40i :D

I'm going to get some quotes and see. Generally people are telling me around 3k is what they would expect and similar on here. @enuff_zed is right, I've had the car since 2010, its on 185k miles, its probably worth 3k at the moment! But it's worth 3k to me. I've really enjoyed it and I'm back...

I thought probably about that - did they sort any corrosion out for you within that price?

185k miles in, I think it's time for a full respray. At a distance, it looks fine after a good wash but it needs some attention. Lots of stone chips, laquer damage and just started to get some corrosion to the left of the driver's door. What kind of money would I be looking at for a full...

Awesome, Z4-forum wins again! Thanks @enuff_zed!!

Thanks, I had not heard of that. Great, I've emailed for a price. I currently have the silvery chrome/black one. Is it just the same process of carefully pulling the old one off the stick without injuring yourself :rofl: and then pushing this one on?

Morning all! The driver's window switch on my Coupe 3.0si has gone very "flappy" and ready to break off any moment - its had a lot of use over the years. Can I replace just the switch or is it the whole door module? No folding mirrors, photo below. Is it an easy process to pull the old one out...

Some of the chrome-colour plastic on mine has cracked so I need to change it. Does anyone know the part numbers for genuine BMW gear knobs for an E86 coupe? Theres a lot of rip-off ones on ebay and wanted to know what genuine ones are compatible. Is the one with the M-Sport logo always an...

I have the exact same problem in my Z4. @enuff_zed I dont really have the confidence to be messing with mine, what should I tell a garage if I send it in? Just "steering wheel column ring adjustment"? I told them to check the steering previously and they said it was "fine", but I doubt that...

New callipers, discs and pads on both sides - fixed the vibration. Thanks for everyone input. :D I have a separate issue with the steering tramlining a bit at higher speeds but I will reply to a recent thread on that: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=148466

Thanks, I can confirm it stopped the vibration and excessively hot wheel I was getting around 50mph+ too, was the sticky calliper. It was tricky as it was intermittent. New callipers, discs and pads on both sides. I have a separate issue with the steering tramlining a bit at higher speeds but...

Nice work! I've just had my two front ones replaced at 184k miles, I was convinced I had a buckled wheel, lots of vibration at times and then it went away, came back etc, 90% sure it was a sticking caliper - Thanks to the forum I discovered the wheel was a red herring. What symptoms were you...

No problem guys, PM me your addresses. As I said, they come with no warranty but I am happy to help forum members out and send you what I have rather than them going in scrap.
