Ive got a line on a Carver 10 speaker DSP system. I really need to ditch the standard speakers. They lack the bass and depth I crave. Will the carver system be a significant improvement on the standard business system? Cheers

I fancy one of these (6 spd) to swap out the original. The plastic chrome is starting to look a bit worn out on my current original. If noone has one used going, best place to aquire a new one? Cheers

Ok, serious not serious question. Coupe owners. Share with me your years of ownership wisdom. How the heck do you get inside without straining your neck or exit gracefully without looking like you should be taking the special bus? I've mildly strained my neck twice in the 3 weeks I've had...

Hi all, I have the BBS 108 split rims on my Z4. Pretty good condition considering their age but I'd like to get them back to as good as new. I've called around 10 wheel refurbishment places local to me and their answer is all the same... 'No we don't work on these', reasons being; too...

Hi everyone, I've noticed one side of my brace seen through the grill has started shedding paint to reveal bare metal. I assume this is aluminium? Anyway, looks daft. Need to paint it. I don't fancy removing the bumper quite yet... not got confidence yet to undertake such a task. Is it...

Hi, Been a couple weeks since Ive had my Z4. So far, so good. But I cant live with shitty FM radio while Im stuck in traffic (Hate the blah blah and adverts)... the sound of an idle straight six also just doesnt cut it. I have the SatNav system installed on my Z, no CD interchanger in the...

Hi, My triangles leading to the mirror arms are badly discoloured from black to a milky grey. I want to remove them from the car and the mirrors themselves, so that I can respray them with a matte black paint. Those plastic back to black products offer only a temp solution to bringing back the...
