What it says on the tin. I'm fed up of being scalped by the stealers. £170+VAT per hour to investigate an issue that somehow magically only started after they did some work to my car. They're claiming it's nothing to do with that, but can charge me for the privilege of finding a new problem...

Wondering if I could get some opinions as I'm hearing conflicting ones from different mechanics on this. Took the car into Peter Vardy BMW in August to have the roof wiring fixed when it got stuck open and as part of their health check, they advised me of a number of things they recommend that...

So my Z was in the stealers for the last 4 weeks and they gave me a 2024 X3 while it was away, and I really liked having CarPlay, so I want to get upgraded. I've read through the various threads on the topic, and know of the Mr12Volt and Android screen options. BUT, has anyone taken the plunge...

Sorry to start yet another thread about roof problems and microswitches, but I can't find anything that definitively answers my question or refers to my specific issue. SimpleCarGuy had the same problem, but when he did his video halfway through found a broken wire and so didn't deal with fixing...

How do I know for sure if my FRM module is corrupted or bricked? I've noticed a number of issues developing with the car since retrofitting LCI headlights and I'm trying to get to the bottom of what's happening before I do anything. I've coded the car with Carly in the past to enable things...

I've got my hands on a pair of LCI headlights and would like some advice on retrofitting them from someone who has done it before or knows about it please. Have searched the topic widely but mostly just found people giving opinions along the lines of "its so expensive why bother" which is of no...

I'm looking for some advice/guidance, please. The last time I gave my car a good clean, I noticed that the paint work is in need of some care and attention. The stone chips to the front bumper and bonnet are many, and the top coat has started to peel off thanks to an over-zealous hand car wash...

I need to put my car up on some jack stands to do some work to it, but having a little trouble shopping around for a decent trolley jack as many of them seem to be accompanied by some nightmare reviews of them dropping the car on the folks using them. Can't be sure if they're using them wrong or...

Anyone know what's going on with CMWheels? Used to have a really great selection of decently priced replica wheels but looks like stock is dwindling and there's not a lot of choice left. Have they fallen victim to Brexit import fees?

Perhaps bit of an odd one, but I'm looking for a dog seat that fits in the front passenger seat of my Z. Amazon has loads of basket style seats that buckle in and you can buckle the dog into the basket, but dunno about size/fit and how sturdy they are? It's for a miniature Dachshund and I was...

So I’m feeling a bit flush these days and feel like treating my whip for its 10th birthday and getting the paint brought back to life. Bumper needs a complete respray and the bonnet has several stone chips and I’ve been advised to get the whole thing sprayed too. While I’m at it, I’m gonna get...

Does anyone know of a way to shut or turn off the air con vent that's down at knee level? Maybe someone somewhere's made a plug or something to cap it off? Sick of my knee getting roasted whenever I need to put the heater on to warm my feet up.

Finally got round to swapping out the old side markers for the lci style ones. Wrapped them in gloss black vinyl myself. Cant decide if its an improvement or not. Thoughts?

I really need to get to the bottom of a bit of an annoyance with the battery of my 20i. It's mostly fine, but there are a couple issues that crop up every now and then. The auto start/stop rarely, if ever, works. I've read a lot about how it should work and its subject to a lot of variables...

So as the title of the thread says, i was a little heavy handed closing the armrest and the retaining pin broke so i now cant close it. I’m looking for ideas of what the best and least expensive way to replace this is, as i know that in order to replace the armrest, you need an entire new...

Selling the rear valance for an E89 M Sport 18/20/23/28 (all cars with twin exhaust). No scratches, no cracks, all clips and tabs in-tact. Overall it's in really good condition for 65k miles. Pick up in Edinburgh, or if you want to arrange a courier we can chat about that and buyer pays...

I'm selling the wheels I took off my E89 Z4 in the summer for upgraded alloys. Selling as a set, not looking for swaps, thanks. The alloys: Fronts are 8J x ET29 Rears are 8.5J x ET40 There are no cracks or welds, but after 65k miles they could probably do with a refurb. Some corrosion...

So the exhaust flap has been faulty for some time on my 20i and it’s getting harder and harder to ignore. I’ve tried a few different methods of trying to get it to shut up (think the dreaded loud rattle) but none of them have worked and as far as I’ve read it needs a full back box replacement...

Has anyone ever tried replacing the DRLs with something like this before? For $40 that seems like it could be worth a punt to upgrade to some nice bright LED halos...
