Andy, whats next?

 

[Matt.rowley.1990]

Bought a new (use) idrive controller know of ebay for just £23 !

My 'knob' is wearing out..the paint coating is showing the white plastic underneath due to excessive use..

I toggle the MMI Carplay and iDrive satnav back and forth all the time plus lots of music selections and carplay use..

Finally earlier i drive knobs had 'CD' in the top left..decided that the later 'Media' label more appropriate..

It’s the little things in life..hope it works OK..says its made March 2017!View attachment 293565View attachment 293566

I was under the impression E89s had a slightly different and uniquely shaped idrive controller. Doesn’t that part number correlate to an F30?

I have garage envy too. I can only do under bonnet work or park in mine. I need to buy a large garage that comes with a small house!

Andy, what's next?

That's a good question
At some point, I think I'll move the subs from the footwells into the oem positions behind the seats and refit the mids back into the footwells.........at some point
It does sound good as it is, though.

Without waffling on Andy it's great to see the car being appreciated and loved as much as I did, fantastic to see all the modifications and improvements 10/10 .... hope the Porsche isn't jealous

It got a hoon down to see peeblezZ4 last week, so that should keep it happy

You and me both; I'm plotting a portable scissor lift for the car.

Sadly looks like you’re correct and even I posted a while back that fact….ah well…if it’s too good to be true…I’ll look at it over the winter and see if I can swap the bases over..

 

[Matt.rowley.1990]

I’ll take comfort in the fact that it hasn’t just been me failing to follow my own prior research this month!

Peter, how about a nice cheap cover for the controller £7.99

Now be nice..you know mu views on this who-flung-dung stuff…

Allegedly they do replacement buttons ..I’ll keep my distance..

 

[HanlonsRazor]

Fitted 4 new Kumho Ecsta ps72's and ditched the runflats. £380 fitted so not too bad.

Cured rattles under dash with cable ties.
Intermittent brake on light now out, so is a bad wire under the dash.

Decided to drop the wing and all. Got a good deal on a VIS carbon boot

What’s the benefit of the carbon boot lid?

 

[Matt.rowley.1990]

What’s the benefit of the carbon boot lid?

I can only assume it’s to allow the boot to close without slamming

 

[RobbiZ4]

What’s the benefit of the carbon boot lid?

The Z4 will drive much faster due to the reduced weight.
