Regarding music from your phone its ever so easy and there are many ways to achieve it. There are various bluetooth devices that can be fitted. Some have attached them near the CD changer in the boot. I have a "Bluemusic" adapter which has a car facing connector on one end of the set of wires...

I experimented with an android head unit a little while ago and I'm pretty sure i was able to program those 2 buttons to do a selection of things with the stereo like start satnav or switch to mp3 player etc.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the following please? On a drive this evening I noticed a warning light come on on the dashboard. referencing https://www.athensbmw.com/bmw-warning-lights-and-symbols/ the symbol is the "Emissions" warning. "An emissions light is easily confused with an engine...

I see thanks. Is the plastic part attached to the surrounding area in some way or just slotted in loose?

Ah I understand what your saying now. It definitely looks the correct shape to fit there. It doesn't have any screw holes in it to fix it to the panel work. Perhaps it has broken off some other larger piece of plastic over time. I'll have another look and see if there is any sign of it being...

Hmm, it does look a similar shape. But the battery cover has 3 connection points, lower front, right and top. This piece wasnt in a position that the battery cover could connect to it. It was just slid behind the carpet that forms the back wall of the boot. As though someone didnt know where it...

My Z4M has needed a new battery for a little while and after an inactive winter it was completely flat. I have just replaced the battery. A fairly simple procedure. Just had to reset the window limits. However whilst removing the old battery I noticed a large piece of plastic sticking out from...

The head unit @Umfaan suggests is the same one I have. If you use the adapter I linked to you should be able to plug the car wiring into it and it into the head unit and then you will have bluetooth connection when switching the stereo to aux input. There are also connectors like this. I'm...

The "Business CD" which has a cd loader came as one of the OEM stereo options. My Z4MC has it so you could get one of those. With regards to music from your phone there are various dongles that can be plugged in to the back of the head unit which add bluetooth connectivity. You then switch...

when it comes to climates for cars I think of terms like cold climate applying to northern canada or some of the scandinavian countries. I think were pretty mild here.

Well in the interests of science (and because my mum has been pestering me for what I would like for Christmas), based on the linked video and a couple of others with people testing side by side comparisons I have ordered this Jaco gauge and asked my parents for the much cheaper Etenwolf, to go...

Must have been some fun driving experiences. The GT86 was on my short list along with the latest MX5 when I ended up going with my current Z4MC.

I found this interesting test He does a pretty good job of testing. Its crazy that 2 identical units from the same manufacturer can read so differently. And some are so far off the mark. When we are talking about differences between 32, 34, 36 psi I'm not sure if I have confidence in these...

I keep an analogue dial type tyre pressure gauge in the boot of my other car. I was browsing around for another analogue dial gauge to keep in my Z4MC boot but I keep finding gauges and then reading their reviews and seeing comments about inaccuracy. Can anyone recommend a reliable, accurate...

Will do. When I took the pressures before pumping them up they were down a little (the fronts were about 28-29psi). I had noticed it would sometimes tramline as @Rockhopper suggests. So perhaps now the pressures are up a bit it will stop that tramlining.
