9:00am briefing for a 9:30am departure.

I'd be swapping then onto the new Z4M (if it's a coupe).

For a minute I thought you were saying you'd found the pliers in the sump :rolleyes: ...but that would only happen if you'd taken it to BMW for a service :ROFLMAO:

Yes, the dash light is water temp, but there's also an oil temp gauge. However we used a Snap-On diagnostics tool to show us live water and oil temps as we did some cooling down driving around the area and on some of the subsequent single laps, hence the decision to refresh everything on our...

I had it once at a very hot Nurburgring summer public day. Was fine when I started the first lap, got the orange warning about half-way around my second lap, and then went to red in the queue to exit the track...so had windows down and heating on full to remove some of the excess. Did a few...

I've not touched Norton since it was acquired by Symantec in the 1990s when they basically screwed over Mac customers by using almost all the system resources to offer live scanning. It also had a high right of false positives. The only thing we found it useful for (aside from the original...

Never had to convert any of my library of MP3s to 'Apple format' when I switched to an iPod. Did have to convert some of my hi-res FLAC files to Apple Lossless if I wanted to keep the quality and play on the iPod/iPhone. Imagine all those music lovers who had to transfer all their vinyls to CD...

The Dell might just need some extra BIOS and/or security settings enabled to allow the upgrade to W11…but I’d recommend a clean install over an upgrade to ensure that nothing that’s infested W10 - intentionally or otherwise - is left over (and that includes things like 3rd party AV, security...

My boss on one of my longer-term contracts had a 370Z that he swapped for a 370Z Nismo as a birthday gift to himself. He went on and on about how well it sounded and handled, so when I gave him a go of my Z4MC he couldn't fathom how a car of similar weight and power could feel so different and raw.

If they're handed are they fitted to the correct side of the car, so that they are tightening when being driven ;)

They're still available from https://x8r.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/357

I'm afraid this recommendation may not receive the good wishes or respect you may think it deserves, as Mike (and the Zedshed) have fallen out with a few members on here over dubious practices. https://z4-forum.com/threads/zed-shed.150915/ To be fair, I never had a problem for the bits I had...

Glad I could help, and wasn’t hallucinating things ;)

I simply put in better seats in my Z4MC...Recaro Pole Position ABE in Black Ambla & Alcantara...and the combo if a much better seat (better thigh/hip/rib support) means the standard 3-point belt is fine for trackdays & fast road. The racing harnesses I have seen fitted have usually bean...

The buttons with the minus signs on them, to the right of the numbered buttons, will cycle through the settings shown in the little window above them. I think they show programme type / TA via RDS.
