Looking for an E85 glovebox lid in black. Anyone got a good condition one they’re looking to sell?

I'd read it was possible in this thread by reading the coding from the old unit and replacing it on the new unit. Managed to get one out of an E46 for a great price on ebay - https://z4-forum.com/threads/e85-e86-star12-gm5-replacement-with-e46-e83-part.156465/

Interesting! I've just ordered a used Star12 High out of an E46 with matching SW and HW so i'll code that in NCSExpert once it turns up. The GM5 was already looking like it was on the blink as I'd lost central locking a few months ago and it only worked off the interior switch and not from the...

OK I pinned it down to two things, the GM5 Star 12 Low wasn't letting the car go to sleep. It was stuck at 0.35A draw. The radio was also pulling 0.75A so that must be faulty too. Now i'm down to between 0.02A and 0.05A. Thanks for all the assistance!

Excellent tip cheers for that. So at the moment I think the GM5 is defective as when I lock the car it doesn’t activate central locking so I’m having to manually lock each door. Will that affect the sleep time do you think?

Thanks I’ll definitely do that. Is there any specific tricks I need to do to keep the car asleep whilst I connect an ammeter to the battery?

Thanks that's useful to know. I've had the bonnet sensor disconnected for as long as I can remember as it was false alarming

Nothing at all it’s all factory OEM

Thanks for that, do you think it's worth getting the GM5 looked at then? The battery is in good nick and I put another fairly new on I had from another project BMW and it did the same to that one too. I was wondering if it's not going to sleep. It seems on average to take something between...

I've got an issue on my E85 Z4 2.0 where if it's not used for a couple of days the battery dies and is completely flat to the point there's no electrics whatsoever. I'm keeping it on the Ctek now but need to get the root of the issue. Some bits that may or may not be useful to diagnose: - The...

Selling a set of 2.0 Springs. Good condition please see photos. Happy to ship for courier cost. £50+ shipping or collect from B93

No probs RMB! That’s a good shout, I’ll see if there’s any interest as is but that may well be the course of action.

No trouble at all! They were listed as good working condition, I haven’t tested them. My plan was to give them a cosmetic refurb and pop them on. One was from quarry the other from Brentwood Auto spares.

Sure no probs, here they are. I sourced them for my 2.0 rears but i've decided stick with the solid rear discs for now.

I've got a pair of rear calipers from an E46 to facilitate a 294mm vented rear brake upgrade. These allow you to upgrade from the solid 280mm rear discs to the larger 294mm vented discs. This is for the calipers and carriers. £60 including P&P in the UK!
