Hi all, Not driven my e89 a long distance in months & took it out yesterday for 100 miles or so. I’ve woken this morning with a really bad stiff back, whilst historically this isn’t unusual it’s the first time it’s happened in months … coincidence? I’m running 326’s & run flats so is that my...

So I have a 2011 45k miles z4 23i MSport DSB, Heated Leather Cream Seats Sat Nav Basic Stereo system - 6 speakers ? Manual No remapping Looking on autotrader seems the most similar car I can find is coming in at £13,495 I’ve got a new job that means I can cycle to work & wondered what...

A question I noticed after I washed my car the other day that when I got in to it the following day there was an intermittent drip from what can best be described as where the door & roof seals meet at the windshield end of the car, it must be in the little gully that’s created where the roof...

Randomly the Album Artwork has stopped showing on my idrive screen The only thing I can think is that somehow playing a CD has confused it because previously hooking my phone up through usb in the armrest & playing Amazon Music showed the artwork Any ideas guys

Booked in for an MOT today Smooth process, no issues & didn’t feel like they were going to try anything on. Although the car had been serviced by Cheltenham BMW before I brought it I believe a few months ago so should’ve sailed through the MOT

I’ve never owned a car with an OBC before. My last car I drove for 11 years & it was fine with an annual service & MOT done by the same garage at the same time. So fine in-fact that I seriously considered not selling it. A 77k Audi A3 ‘57 plate As a result I’ve done a little googling on what...

I’m after some opinions as I’m pretty clueless when it comes to this sort of thing. All the previous cars I’ve owned have been run & run & run to the extent that when stuff was needed doing as it required to pass the MOT I just paid for it & considered it part of the expense of owning the car...

Hi all, Short version of a very long story: After enjoying driving my wife’s company car for the last 18 months as she has been WFH I decided I needed to sell my 14 year old A3 because I enjoyed the luxuries that car afforded. I cannot remember the last time anyone other than me sat in the...
