Hi All, Happy hump day. Last week I bought my second silver Z4, the last one reluctantly sold 3 years ago (pictured below). This time it's the 2.2 manual. I was looking for a 3 litre but got a bit impatient plus you're looking at a grand more and I like to put my own wheels on. Might even wrap...

Hi Guys n Girls. I have been without a Z4 for 3 years now. I am itching to get a 3.0L next instead of a 2.0L that I had before. My main concern with the 2.0L is that the thermostat housing was prone to cracking as well as the expansion tank because they're made out of feckin...

Hi Guys, Although I've been a member since purchasing my Z4 I haven't had too much involvement in the forum. However, I'd like to share with you something that is very valuable. I have had the car for nearly 4 years. I love it, but unfortunately I am having to sell it due to personal...

A large woman wearing a sleeveless sun dress walked into a pub down on George street, Edinburgh. She raised her right arm revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to all the people sitting at the bar and asked, "Whit man here will buy a lady a drink? The bar went silent as the patrons...

A group of primary school infants, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to Aintree races to see and learn about thoroughbred horses. When it was time to take the children to the toilet, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the...

One of my sensors isn't working. These don't look like BMW ones. The wire goes straight into the sensor. Also, I have a parking 'console' on the dash which I assume is also an add-on job but why that is the case I don't know (she's probably been rear-ended, fnarr,fnarr). Am I right in thinking...

This one is open to all within the Z4 community fountain of knowledge. Battery keeps draining. It's chucking out 14.2v when engine is running so I assume the Alternator is doing it's job. I then checked between disconnected Negative terminal and the Negative lead and it seems to have a 'draw' of...

Hi Peeps, can't find any links on here or tinternet on E86 bleeding procedure. My gauge has gone into red last couple of days so need to bleed system. Has new water pumps, thermostat, expansion tank and coolant. I hear alot of 'squeeze bottom rad hose while running engine with cap off' . Is that...

Hi Chaps, Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtaining the above component part please. I think I maybe looking at a carparts salvage firm. It is the small electric water pump that powers the heater matrix. Many thanks.Griz.

This question for both sexes now. I have a cheap second hand electro-lux vacuum cleaner with one or two unsuitable attachments that I use not only around the house but also the car. I would like to replace said cleaner but can anyone recommend a decent one with good attachments for the car? I...

Yesterday after 20 or so miles driving to see SWMBO. I noticed the car was slowing down more than usual when coasting as I do occasionally. I pulled over and saw the front drivers side caliper smoking, with the smell of burnt pads. No breakdown cover as SWMBO is arranging as Valentines pressie...

Ok, this is a light-hearted plea to ///M Pilots or other such powerful beasts. I have had my fair share of oiks,chavs and Jenson buttons wanting to test my and the Zeds racing capabilities. I do give it some beans sometimes but am reluctant to take on many challenges I am faced with, with other...

As above or with the actual Glove box housing too if cheap enough.( e85 2.0L)

And that is driving with roof down when the sun has gone down then going through UKs longest land road tunnel back home to Portsmouth. :driving: Highly Recommended.
