Mine hasn't actually cut out completely & it's that quick to go back to normal again, it's difficult to see the lights that come on the display when it happens. Sure it's the oil light.. might put new plugs in it...

Hi all, have this weird misfire on my 2.5 2008 roadster,mainly in low revs in all gears, the oil light comes on but immediately fires up and runs normally.. very strange.. the engine idles normally but revs might increase momentarily as well & drop back down.. had it on a fault finder from a BMW...

No, the brake light isn't there..

Maldives blue E85 boot lid, no brake light, selling for £40, needs to be collected though, only has one small ding on the panel...

Just purchased a red 2.5 2008 zed with tan leather,nav and with it being the colour combo I've waited for, I've bought it with the Bmw luggage rack on the boot which I can do without tbh.. Looking for some sort of solution to get rid. I've unattached the black wire part leaving the silver rails...

hi all,just been reading the post by sars on his alloys problem. i know what hes going through as ive had similar myself,i`l share it with you all. these were what were on my Z when i bought it in sep 2010,107`s,lovely but didnt take me long to fancy another set and when a mate who works for BMW...

ive that exact colour combo,the best imho

ive the same problem,ive recently replaced the bumper support where it meets the wheel arch. i havent tried to re-align it yet but i think its a case of loosening the underside bolts and the ones just under the front end of the bonnet and shuffling it into place. easier said than done methinks!!!

stumbled on the wheels by accident.an old mate who works for bmw got them cheap and done a refurb for me himself.very lucky.has bridgestone potenzas all round,i thought they would be a very hard ride,but werent too bad surprisingly.nearly collapsed when i found out the cost of them new!!!!!

hi all,i have a set of 107`s for sale now as ive just replaced them with some m sport 225`s. tyres are not of the best quality,but 7-8mm of tread all round.one of the fronts may need replacing as it is slightly out of shape(tyrewall is slightly mis-shaped) fronts:goodyear excellence 225x40x18...

hello all,im thinking of changing the head unit in my zed,im just wondering which units other owners have,problem being i dont want to buy something which doesent look the part on the dash.i`ve a grey cd player as standard in mine,and dont really want to put something that looks tacky in its...

yea,i probably spend about eight grand a year on fuel in the taxi which is only a 1.7 turbo diesel,so isnt putting out more co2 than the z i presume, dread to think how much of this is tax.....didnt realise a z4m was in this road tax bracket! disgusting!

just got my renewal reminder through the door..... £255 per year or £134.75 for 6 months. ridiculous,its little wonder record amounts of people are emigrating! im a cabbie from sunderland with a 6 year old zed. 2 miles up the road in cleadon theres millionares with chelsea tractors paying £400...
