Hi Ben, it was a pleasure to meet you earlier. That amber handbrake light has been haunting me for months; now my car is ready for its next MOT. Also I have functional hill hold once again, which is a wonderful thing. As an added bonus, my bonnet doesn't rattle over every tiny bump anymore. I...

Alright deal, that sounds great, and your support to fit it would be greatly appreciated. I need to keep tomorrow clear I'm afraid, but shall we swap contact details in a PM so that we can arrange a good time?

How much would you like? Also would you be open to me collecting? I'm only down the road in Warwick, so saves the need for postage :)

My car is a facelift (2007), but pre-facelift part would also be ok.

Good afternoon, I am after the longitudinal acceleration sensor (or yaw sensor?) that lives under the driver's seat. Facelift part number is 34526769174, though I've read that the pre-facelift part 34526764018 would also work. Do you have either of these? Thanks.

Sold, thanks

Dropped to £420, but open to offers. Would be quite happy to free up space! Thanks.

Hi everyone, thanks for the positive encouragement. This wheel style looks absolutely fantastic on your E86, the fitment looks great too. I definitely agree that stacking a load of shims and spacers before sending my car around a track is a bad idea; it was more a static test to ascertain the...

I've come to the conclusion that this build is cursed; I simply cannot get it to work. My failing is almost certainly due to not doing enough research before getting started! It has however been an interesting learning experience, and I'm now much more confident at spannering on my car. I am...

Dropped to £450, quite want the space in my garage back! Open to offers

Installed a budget cruise control system in my Z4 using the wealth of info available on this forum. The install was fairly involved given that I have a facelift car. Step 1 was to connect into the IVM, used the following guide to identify the correct pin hole...

This is a set of 400M alloys in grey, as generally fitted to an F30 generation 3 series. I bought these back in February to put on my E85 Z4, with them having been refurbished at the point of sale. There is no kerb damage, no buckles, cracks, welds. See below for widths, offsets; 2x 8.0Jx18...

After the adjustments, my hardtop is now sitting like this at the front; This is now the measurement at the rear; It now sits symmetrically, and makes a hell of a lot less noise at motorway cruising speed which is fantastic. Things to remember; Remember to put the plastic rings back, and...

I purchased a hardtop recently and have been experiencing the same issue reported by JackB1 near the start of this thread. I somewhat regretted my purchase until I followed the advice laid out above; thank you all for writing up these guides and putting in the effort so that they are accessible...

Very interesting, but I think that might end up being too much yellow for me! I was thinking whether I could get my existing seats redone to a complementary colour, perhaps navy blue. Then get replacement interior trim panels in black, recolour my calipers blue, get some 5 spoke wheels in satin...
