In 2021 the ABS/DSC warning light came on my 2009 Z4 (E86). Putting to one side buying a new one I decided to buy a second hand unit, refurbish and then get this changed when I had my brakes serviced. This saved a load on labour, meant my car wasn't sitting in a garage for a week and I knew the...

I sent this around a couple of weeks back to check if I was seeing things, Consensus was too narrow... To be fair it's my weekend car and gets a fair amount of pampering. So something not quite right is very wrong... So I've managed to sell my tyres for 105 each (yes I know painful loss)...

Thanks post updated... to 255/35r18

I have two Michelin PS5's (255/35 R18) to sell they have done 20 miles on my E86 (posted on Ebay link below). The back story, I replaced my old non standard allows for CSL replica's and after talking to BM Autosport my Bridgestone Ponza's could be transferred. Wind the clock on 12 months and I...

As promised here are some photos... (The first on his just because... 2009, 65k miles, ex demo so all the gadgets except sat nav... black leather seats)

This is superb and really helps, I'll take a photo and post but this really gives some comfort that it's not way way off.. Thanks for the feedback. Nick

Apologies I know the subject of tyres has been worked extensively. But I have 3-4 very specific questions and think I've made a mistake. I have a 3.0si Coupe (2008) with BM Autosport 18" CSL copies (18" Veemann VC359 M359 5x120 9.5"et45 Quartz Silver 72.6cb). I had Bridgestone Ponza's...

Did anyone come back to you on this? I have the same question!!!

Quick check, Did you find out the root cause of 006128. I’ve just had this code come up and doesn’t seem to be a common one.

Wise words on the Backbox, I've sent a note to the fabricator to see if they can put a flange in the exhaust so I could swap back if I (more likely the mrs) doest like it. Felt like a successful weekend as I managed to get the Bluetooth code, but ended up taking way more of the boot internals...

I've fixed a few things already, But these are more about seeing a new car with a cold eye vs something you've lived with. So far: 1. Replaced the boot badge. 2. New gas struts on the boot. 3. Replaced one of the rear parking sensors (so all test okay but just not working so need to look at the...

After far too long looking I'm finally a Z4C owner. It's a Manual Z4 Coupe 3.0si with 58k miles. As advised in the forum I've had the wheels aligned using a Hunter 4 wheel alignment bench, which made a massive difference to the handling and checked for any fault codes. The variable valve timing...
