Ah sorry, my fault for being slack and forgetting about these! Hopefully someone else will need them

Firstly, apologies for falling off the face of the earth. About the time I first posted these calipers for sale, our first born came along and I just completely forgot about these in the back of the shed. Having a clear out last weekend reminded me of their existence! Are they any interest to...

Yes happy to sell once I can be 100% sure what they are. Only collecting dust in the shed currently. I’m away for a few days but will look into it as soon as I’m back.

Hi I bought a full set of second hand brake calipers years back with the intention of having them refurbished and put on my Z4MR. One of those jobs I never got around to and having just sold the Z4M, sadly never will now. I was told at the time that they were off a crashed E86 Z4MC. Does...

Thank you. Ordered! I'll order a couple of new back covers for the headlights too as they're cheap enough from BMW.

After a trip to the local hand car wash, I returned home to find the drivers side headlight was misted up. I did think the guy was being a bit aggressive at the time under the wheel arches with the jet washer. Upon closer inspection, the light had some water in it. I managed to get the water...

As the title says, it is unfortunately time to sell my Z4MR. With a baby on the way, it just won't get used. It's been 5-6 years of almost faultless ownership. I think the main thing I've encountered going wrong was the roof motor, which was replaced with a brand new one from BMW and relocated...

I (very bizarrely) had all three of these lights appear on mine once as well as the tyre pressure monitor light. Took the car to the petrol station and checked the tyres, one was low, very low, although not visibly so. After pumping up and re-setting the TPM, all lights disappeared. Had the tyre...

I’ve just sold one with 100k on the clock to a website that buys poorly cars! An e91 2006. As a word of advice before buying, do some googling on the e90/91 bmw 320 engine. Timing chain issues galore. At the mileage you are looking at, it may have an issue waiting to happen. Worth a read on...

Thanks for the replies guys. I did think about the bigg red option. Makes sense if one caliper has played up, the other three may also soon. Any idea what they charge? I'll drop them a line today as I can't see any relevant prices on their site.

Noticed a horrible shuddering coming through the steering wheel at 50-70 mph. Went away under hard braking or speeding up. Got home and felt all discs and calipers. Nearside front disc and caliper were scorching. Much more than the other three corners so seems I have a sticking caliper. Has...

Moving in to a new house in a couple of months and my only car currently is my Z4MR. I commute to work by train, so the zed only got used on weekends as I could walk to the station, but my new house will be a short drive from the station. Looking for an E91, petrol or diesel, decent service...

I can also vouch for Station View in Dorking. Took my Z4MR there before xmas to have the realignment done. They looked at the car for 15 mins then called me to say it really wasn't worth them doing it. Someone previously had heated up/rounded off the adjustment area of both front control arms...

Definitely looks brighter than mine, will give it a go, thanks

Great tip, mine gear-knob on my Z4M could do with a touch up too for the same reasons. Hadn't really thought about doing it before, but for that price, why not. Out of interest, how well does your gear-knob light up? I find that even in the dark, its kind of half lit on one side only. Did...
