Has anyone noticed their Spotify menus over the last few days (10th July onwards) ? Many of my option/playlists are in other languages than English showing words such as Wieder reinhoren, Nyligen spelade, Show da provare, Hygge. etc My mates 5 series also has the same issue. I also saw a...

Anyone else had a warning when lowering the roof? Mine started last week to tell me that the Roof is not latched. It goes through the lowering routine but will not raise the side windows. If you release the handle then you get Bongs and the Error message on the dash and screen. I can...

Hey all, just thought I'd check the BMW download manager and there is a new Map Update available. Road Map EUROPE Live 2023-2 Thought some of you might be interested in keeping the maps up to date.

In February this year my dealer called me as she had a cancelled order for a Z4 build. Always willing to do a swap, I jumped on it and was due to get delivery in April. However some Russian idiot decided to invade his neighbour which threw my timescale out of the window. It got delayed by two...

I got a call on Monday from my local BMW dealer. She had a build slot available for a new M40i and wondered if I was interested? Suffice to say I was down there before I'd finished the call, well almost ;-) I've been watching all the new build threads over the last few weeks and getting itchy...

Not driven the M40i much over the last 18 months but have been doing a longer trip the last few days. I've noticed the rear tyres were getting a bit less grip than usual. On checking them, they are getting ready for replacement soonish. (13.5k Miles) However I have a couple of issues...

So last week I went out in the Z4. An admittedly rare experience in these restricted times. On starting the car I noticed that the bottom of the temperature gauge read COLD as an actual word. Once I'd got to the motorway junction and the needle had started to move up the gauge, the text has...

While cruising up the motorway on Tuesday night, a lorry threw a stone at me. I heard the smack but couldn't see any damage in the dark. However on checking the car Wednesday, I've now got a lovely crack spreading from the A-Pillar across the passenger side of the 'screen. Fabulous!! The...

Well my new Z4 has finally arrived yesterday and today it's done nothing but rain. From what I have driven it so far, it's great! Love the way it feels more planted than my 35iS did. It's certainly quick enough even though I've not really explored its performance as yet. The extra toys...

One of the final BMW Z4 E89 produced in late 2016 is now for sale. New G29 Z4 incoming in September and so the current one has to go. 66 'plate BMW Z4 35iS in Valencia Orange metallic with wrapped gloss black roof and mirror shells. Design Pure Traction interior with Alcantara and Leather...

Just found this review of the M40i on YouTube. Sounds great and the guys give it a really positive review overall. https://youtu.be/uCDTzMn1gpM

So on Friday I went down to my friendly BMW dealer in Warrington to have a chat. They had a 'Special Event Weekend' and there were some 'Fantastic deals available' apparently. I'd already decided that I would have a new Z4 eventually but when I spoke to Mel, my friendly sales person, the...

Stand by for exciting news, for some BMW are to add a manual gearbox to the Z4. Now don't get too excited, it's only for the base 20i at the moment. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-germancars/bmw-m550i-gets-530hp-840i-gets-340hp-and-rwd/40218 Personally not bothered about a manual 'box...

Apologies for the source of the review but has anyone seen this one from the Daily Wail? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-6362189/First-drive-BMWs-new-sporty-Z4-convertible-ahead-UK-arrival-spring.html He says BMW hope to sell about 2400 cars in 2019, which is not a bad target...

So, I got a phone call from my local BMW dealer last Monday. I was asked if I was interested in changing my two year old 28i for a new model. Now obviously I was cautious as some things are too good to be true but a new car is always welcome so off I pop to see what the story is. The deal was...

I thought you all might like to see what I've been doing with an Audio upgrade for the E89 Z4. I got the z4 without any audio upgrade so just had the standard audio setup. This soon proved to be pretty inadequate and so I decided to fit the Blaupunkt amp and harness with the speakers upgraded...

Does anyone know how easy it is to remove the plastic panel which covers the central hole in the back wall between boot and cabin when you don't have the ski pass thru or storage shelf fitted? I'm trying to upgrade the hifi and want to remove the panel but without having to remove all the...

I was washing my 28i Auto the other day and wanted to move it a few feet to finish cleaning the wheels. I started the car and put it into reverse but left the drivers door open so I could judge how far i'd gone (only wanted half a wheel revolution.) As the car started to move, it suddenly...

Hi everyone. Just thought i'd say hello and post a few pics of the new Zed. Had two E85 previously but changed to a 1 Series Coupe for two years for a bit of a change. Much happier to be back in the Zed club again now. Melbourne Red 28i Msport Must say i'm back in love with open top...

Has anyone any photo's or instructions on how to get wiring from the cabin into the boot area. Having just purchased a new Z4 28i with basic hifi, i'm looking to add the blaupunkt amp in the boot and drive the speakers better. (possibly upgrade the speakers as well.) I wondered if anyone knew...
