    Alloys pricing - 19" Style 296

    Hi All, I swapped to Style 400s from Style 296 last year and had planned to hold onto them for maybe swapping back. I've decided that I do prefer the ride on the 18s and so time to move them on. Can I ask for some help in trying to price them for sale please? All tyres are Bridgestone RFT...

    E89 cup and drink bottle holders - custom design

    Hi All, I've created a set of cup holders for the E89 as the options are limited. Designed for 12 / 18Oz Yeti Rambler bottles and recently added some extra storage options. I designed it from scratch and been iterating the design since. Not everyone has a 3D printer and so I am offering to...

    3D Printed dual bottle holder for the E89 v2

    Well, more like v8 as I've iterated the design a lot since the first one. As a reminder this is where I started: I then did several interations of this but found that it would roll forwards with a full bottle under heavy braking. Velcro didn't work on the tight pile of the interior carpet so...

    New wheel day! Moving from 19" to 18"

    Evening all, Today was an exciting day for me as it is the first time I've ever swapped to different alloys on any of my cars. I've always stuck with whatever they've come with, but I have a cracked rear 296 19" and it needed fixing and refurbishing. I've always been prone to a higher sidewall...

    Z4 drinks holder for water bottles

    Hi All, The lack of drinks bottle holders is really irritating! I've designed (badly - I promise, it was done in TinkerCAD!) a 3D printed one to go between the seats and key off the net holder plastic to prevent movement. I designed it around our 12/18Oz Yeti Rambler bottles. I'm up to V5 of it...

    3D Printed dual bottle holder for the E89

    Afternoon folks, I spent some time this weekend designing a twin bottle holder to go behind the net in my E89 as there wasn't anywhere to safely put our Yeti bottles. I am not a designer by any means and this is what I can do with my rudimentary modelling skills and tinkercad. I do however a...

    Feb 2010 E89 map updates

    Morning all, I was looking to see if I could update my maps on my new to me 2010 30i. It's currently got 1.5.20 Road Map Europe Premium 2009-2. There is no i symbol on the map so I don't believe this can be done via USB. If I update via the DVDs will that enable the USB update or do I need to...

    Aftermarket reversing sensor fitment

    Afternoon all, My wife asked me to fit rear sensors to the car as she's got used to them on her cars and as such listens out for them by instinct. She's also not used to parking a car where you're more rearward than in a normal car. So £50 on a good sensor kit seems like cheap insurance...

    Failed door lock actuator - the outcome

    Evening all, When I got my Z4 the door lock actuator went into deadlock and I couldn't open the door from inside or out (worked fine on the test drive!). Thankfully colleague is an ex BMW tech and managed to get the door card off in its locked state and set about going at the lock with a...

    Aftermarket reversing sensors - cluster pin out

    Hello Folks, My wife has asked for some rear sensors to be fitted to the car. If it means she's happier to drive it then it's £50 well spent. I've bought a Dolphin Kit and will be doing it over the Christmas break. Does anyone know the pinout of the rear light cluster please so I can tap...

    Passenger one touch window not working up

    Morning folks, I can't work out why my one touch up doesn't work on the passenger side. I've got it working on the drivers side by running it down to the bottom, holding it for 10 secs and then backup and hold for 10 seconds Am I missing a trick somewhere?

    Pitted windscreen

    Hello again, I noticed that my windscreen has quite a few pit marks in it from 18 years of road use. Is there any products that can help reducing the pitting? You can see the wipers getting nipped at by the pits and they won't last long! Thanks

    First convertible - cleaning and sealing

    Evening folks. Will be cleaning the Z4 at the weekend as it's not got any beading action going on. I typically use the AutoGlym Polar series on the Skoda's and works really well for me. I'm cognisant of the fact I don't know whether I should use the Polar Seal on the roof or not. I've...

    Adding USB power to the e85

    I didn't want to use the cigarette lighter adapter all the time as it's messy and you have to have the ash tray open. I decided to add some USB ports to the panel underneath the climate control. I've bought a twin USB3.0 panel mount and installed it in the panel. I also bought a 4 x USB...

    My wife thinks I've bought a mid life crisis car, she seems to enjoy it too!

    Hello All, I recently bought my first Z4 after years of family cars and wanting something with big capacity petrol motor. My last fun car was the Midget which I shared with my Dad when I passed my test. It was great fun against my friends usual Clio's and Nova's. I bought an early '03...
