My car sounded weird the other day. I have checked for play in the timing chain, I can move it all around with an o-ring pick. I once tried some time back and it wouldn't budge. It’s an n20 from 2012. Looking for any recommendations from garages around Hereford, Worcester or Birmingham area...

I need some help! I noticed some scrapes at the bottom of the bumper. I know this should not bother me, but it does. In my defence, you can see them from a standing up position at a couple of metres from the car. Does anyone know the bmw paint code of the m-sport lower bumper? I can...

Those with the extended storage package might scoff at my poverty spec Z. I have been searching for the drivers dashboard storage in Coral Red for years. Last week, one finally came up for sale. Does anyone have advice for fitting this part? I believe I need to remove the head unit &...

If you are retrofitting, these can be difficult to track down. (The small mesh pieces in the hoops) This isn't my listing, but came across it and posting on here...

Hello all, I recently had by front bumper removed, but when it was put back, the panel gaps to the front wings are huge. I have seen on here people saying brackets can be adjusted. Could someone take a picture of what I need to adjust to get a better fit? Bumper removal story coming...

Hi guys, I am selling this really useful bag, I have two of them strangely and this one is surplus. Selling on ebay for £80, but would be happy to take £60 + postage for a forum member. These are really cool and pretty hard to come by. See ebay link below. Payment by paypal preferable or...

Disclaimer: nothing to do with me or affiliated in any way. I came across this on ebay. It’s not cheap, but as these get more scarce, it’s good that someone has taken the initiative. Perhaps they are a forum member? I have seen a couple of posts recently about rear indicator strips...

Does anyone have any wing mirror caps from a 35is in oxide silver for sale? Would be interested. There is a whole set of mirrors on ebay, but looking for a change of look by switching out the covers. Thanks all!

Hi Guys, I have tried searching google, but havent been able to find anything on this… what do these letters mean on oil, and are they important? Please see screenshots below: There are others too… ECT

https://www.drivingyourdream.com/store/p442/DesimaRatel.html I came across this today, I couldn't see anything on here about it after a search. The Desima Ratel, to go along with the yellow Alfa Romeo Z4…. Looks like someone had a go at a cobra Z4 hybrid. It looks ok from the front I...

Afternoon folks. I am tempted to try adding the oxide silver mirrors from the 35is, purely for the look. As the parts can no longer be ordered from BMW (they are supplied primed, but need paint) I thought I would try a wrap of a similar colour, to see how it looks. I have found what I...

What is the general consensus of fitting oem silver grills to a none 35 car? I think the look is good, but does it look like it’s trying to be something it’s not? My car is white, I think the silver would suit it.

Has anyone had the joy of replacing pre LCI indicators? Mine have sadly been infested with algae, and have a visible amount of water inside them. They don’t do the car much justice as they are. I have since ordered some new OEM indicators the same style (from BMW). I thought fitting them...

Has anyone ever seen, or attempted to do a clear third brake light for the e89? There is one for the e85, but I think a clear one would look good on our cars. I am pondering how hard it would be to make.

In the interest of some preventative maintenance, I was thinking about replacing the timing chain tensioner on my 2012 Z4 20i with the updated part, post 2015. We have all read the horror stories regarding earlier n20 engines, and this is my reasoning: . Cheaper to replace timing chain...

After the fourth time of being nagged the aircon was not cold, I ran over to Halfords for their free air con diagnostic. He plugged in a reader to the aircon nozzle to gauge system pressure and it returned 4psi, he said it should be around 150! I have owned the car for nearly five years...

These two rusty nuts in the boot always caused me visual pain… until I decided to do something about it. M8 nut caps.

Hello, I recently found someone’s go pro camera on a walk. I have searched twitter and instagram for posts about lost gopros, and have had no joy. The only identifying feature I can see is the family of the lost camera were hiring or driving a BMW on trade plates. I can see the reflection...
