Hi everyone, just collected my 04 E85 3.0 from airport parking and my airbag light has come on. I had placed my hand luggage initially on the seat with the engine on to clear the windscreen etc then put it into the footwell so not sure if that caused it but my OBD II scanner (D900 2017 version)...

Looking at upgrading my E85 3.0i SE to an E89 and wondering how many 3 litre plus Z4's are out there? A quick search on the net lists European sales figures for all Z4's over the last few years but nothing as specific as I'd like to see. Any websites out there that do this?

Still searching for that elusive silver 35is and as they seem to be rarer than hens teeth I'm looking at the next best thing and found this. http://www.stratstone.com/search/vehicledetails/used-car-bmw-z4--automatic-petrol-silver-roadster-ye60ayg/ Bit expensive or about right? Looking at the...

Morning everyone, I've been trawling the net for a while now looking for an 'upgrade' to my 54 plate E85 3.0i and seen this. I want to go with another 3 litre and in silver. My preference would be a manual but l could live with an automatic for the right car. There really isn't a lot of choice...

Hi, Quick question re axle stands. About to garage my car for up to 10 months as I'm working abroad and wondering if putting the car up on stands using the 4 side jacking points is a good idea for that length of time?

Hi everyone, I currently own a e85 54 plate 3 litre manual in great condition with 50k miles on the clock and FSH (All with main dealer, except the last one with an independent specialist). I'm looking to upgrade but wondering what its worth? BMW have offered me daft money as you'd expect so...

Hi everyone, I currently own a e85 54 plate 3 litre manual in great condition with 50k miles on the clock and FSH. I'm looking to upgrade but wondering what its worth? BMW have offered me daft money as you'd expect so I'm looking for a realistic private sale price. I'm the second owner. I'm...

Hi guys, has been a while since I was on here but thinking about 'upgrading' from a 54 plate e85 3 litre manual with 50k miles to a 12 plate e89 sDrive 20i manual with 16k miles. Any thoughts? Anyone done anything similar? Many differences? Positive? Negative? I know the obvious thing is to test...

Anyone got any recommendations for an independent BMW specialist in Nottingham or surrounding area? Had a trawl through the forum and most seem to talk about main dealers. Series 9 and HAC get mixed reviews.

Morning all, Anyone with Swiftcover and tried to change from runflats to non-runflats? Still waiting to hear back from them and they're taking an age. Also considering a MFSW - do I really need to tell an insurance company about a steering wheel? How daft does it get? Stubby aerial?

Morning all, For those of you living in the Notts area Selecta Tyre have just matched Camskills price for 18" wheels front and rear Vred's (Ultrac Sessanta) at £480 inc VAT and £50 for fitting. Good deal or can I do better?

So I'm looking into upgrading my phone when I get back to the UK in June and also buying a sat nav. Alternatively I could go for the above phone and not bother with a sat nav - anyone gone this way and glad they did or regretted it?

Anyone got any ideas regarding oil useage? My oil light came on some time back not too long after being serviced. I took it back and they asked me to keep an eye on it. 1500 miles later I took it back in as per their request and it had used half a litre. They said they'd only be concerned if it...

Anyone have any ideas as to how to stop the tinny sound when the door closes? I had an E46 330i sport prior to the Z4 and the doors closed with a satisfying thunk whereas the Z4 sounds like my old Mark 2 Ford Escort from the late 70's. Anyone ever done this mod? Easy to do? Suggestions as to...

May be a daft question, would wheels from a 2006 facelift car (coupe) fit a 2005 prefacelift car (roadster)?
