Cheers for that Kidderminster isn’t all that far really. I’ve reached out to the seller.

Cheers for that. My back up was buying a random door card on eBay and taking it apart to swap the insert over. It’s a ball ache but can be done.

My Z4 drivers door card has a hole in the arm rest which is getting very tedious. Does anyone had a door card for sale from a car with champagne leather?

Lovely; roads look pretty quiet too. Perfect.

I’ve generally found TRW arms pretty good; the M3 arms fitted to by various 1 and 3 series have arrived with the M logo ground off. I did buy some cheap TRW dampers and they were rubbish in all fairness.

Parts in places like eBay can be bonkers expensive compared to a dealer. I needed a light bar for my old E92 rear trim. £90 on eBay…£35 for a the dealer. Lots of fixings are similar too.

Yup, I’ve ended up removing the soft touch off the steering wheel controls because it had worn and looked poo (especially against the new wheel trims that I bought).

It was an eBay special from JF Customs.

They were well on their way. It’s a 19 year old car at the end of the day. It’s done well to get this far before succumbing.

Cheers chaps, plenty more to keep me busy with the Z4. :rofl:

My theory is that grit gets washed up between the plastic liner and the arch and as the car vibrates / flexes it damages the paint. More water / crap gets up there and gets caught between the liner and arch and the rot sets in where the paint has been damaged. My car spent a significant part...

The B4 dampers are generally my go to for BMW having fitted them to my wife’s old 125i and her current 330i as well as my old 335i. They’ve all been run with Eibach springs and seem to work well on UK roads. It’s a noticeably less harsh set up than the B12 which personally I find too hard at...

I tend to use ATE who are an OE manufacturer, if you time it right on autodoc it won’t break the back either. Their ceramic pads are ace and worth the slight extra for a reduction in brake dust.

Good stuff, engine and gearbox mounts are on my to do list this summer.

Mine has an aftermarket tint, I’m in two minds about keeping it. There is one bubble which is annoying.
