When changing my rear anti-roll bar droplink and adding a polybush, I noticed the apparent poor state of the rubber around the lower rear subframe mount (the round one with the bolt in the middle). Can anyone offer any advice as to the condition of this one? The other side looks similar as...

Strangely, today it's working normally again, but it isn't locking when I drive off. Odd.

What is odd is that despite the fact it's not unlocking or locking from the key buttons, it has started locking as I drive away, which it has never done before. Bizarre behaviour!

Yesterday evening, I got in my passenger seat. While the door was open, I caught the lock button on my key in my pocket, and the driver's door locked. No problem, I just unlocked it with the centre console switch and went about my day. However, today, my keys will not unlock the car from the...

E85 here. Just bought a new 2026 UK road atlas this week!

Interested, following...

I picked up a BMW specific Creator C110 for £10 from Marketplace, right place, right time - just like the car! Also, I use the BMW 1.4.0 software on an old laptop - useful for coding extra features. Cost £12 for the cable, and some technical know-how to install the software on an old Windows...

As a truck driver, I regularly cover up to 1000 miles a week around Devon, Somerset and Dorset, but I'm getting paid for doing something I love, so it's all good! Plus, I get to listen to music all day, and the view from my "office" is amazing! I'd rather be doing it in my Z4, though!

Mine were delaminating as well, so I ordered These Blue Ones They are a perfect fit, heated, and nice and clear with no distortion. The blue colour took a bit of getting used to, but it's different, and I like it. You can obviously get clear ones too, but I can recommend these specific ones...

This was the first job I had to do to mine. I removed the driver's seat and lay on my back in the driver's footwell with a headtorch on. Once you locate the 2 bolts, its a tricky, but by no means impossible job. I also recommend an 8mm ratchet spanner like this one from Halfords as it makes the...

He seems to be modelling himself as some driving God. Some of his videos are just irresponsible - like this one Not enough visibility to be safe, overtaking with a blind junction on the right, and admitting to exceeding the speed limit. Hmmm.

Nice job! Let us know how it all sounds when you are done. I had the idea of fitting 6x9s in the rear cubbies and using the standard speaker wires to run them, but I'm not sure if there would be enough power to drive them. Have you amped your new rears, or are they run off the head unit?

Until a week ago, my windows worked perfectly. Then, without warning, my passenger window made a crunchy noise, then refused to go all the way up. Suspecting the window regulator, I looked into pricing. BMW dealer wanted £500 for one! Pattern parts were available for between £75 and £120...

Last Friday, my passenger window decided to fail while halfway open! So today, I have fitted a new regulator. Not a fun job at all, very fiddly and took me about 4 hours start to finish (including fitting sound deadening and preventive rustproofing in the door skin). Not helped by the fact...

I love my little Stubby!
