    Goodbye Z4, Hello Audi R8

    Always fancied one of the first generation R8's with the manual gearbox, luckily things dropped into place recently that made owning one viable so picked up this a month or so ago having recently sold the Z4 to John. The Z4's been brilliant but these have always been one of those which I wanted...

    Stainless Steel Start/Stop Button

    Nice little improvement for the interior, turns out most BMW starter buttons are the same size so got hold of a start/stop button from the new 7 Series, dismantled it and with a bit of modification swapped it over to fit the Z4 starter. All lights up as it should and is definitely nicer to have...

    Z4 Alcantara Interior Trim

    Having started off retrimming the headliner panels back in November, I feel as if I might have had a little too much time on my hands and have also now done the A pillars, windscreen surround, seat trims and that little plastic bit behind the centre console. I know Alcantara isn't everyone's...

    G29 Compared to a Modified E89

    A couple of weeks ago, my local dealership was good enough to offer me a go in the new Z4 for an afternoon, unusually perfect weather meant it was well worth the visit! Before getting to it, my 35i is fitted with 370mm front discs and calipers robbed off of an M4, the front suspension...

    M4 Front Brake Caliper Retrofit

    As per the title really, I recently got hold of some front brake calipers of of an M4, tidied them up and repainted them before sticking them on the Z4. Unfortunately the M3/M4 discs don't fit however 370mm performance discs from a 340i/440i etc bolt right on. It's still in the process of...

    F10 M5 Brake Calipers - Possible Big Brake Upgrade?

    Thought I've gauge interest here before putting these to ebay, I've a pair of front brake calipers off of an F10 BMW M5. I know a few people have made these fit Z4's before and certainly do look the part! These are showing some scuffs to the paint on the outer sides of each caliper as can be...

    M3 Suspension Component Swap

    Before going anywhere, the vast majority of the research work was done for me by this fine chap on E90 Post; https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230973 When looking underneath a Z4, the suspension is actually a bit of a mash up of it's own components, E46/E85 bits and E90 parts...

    Sold The E85, Bought An E89

    In a quest for something a bit more easy going for long journeys I sold the old 3.0 E85 and bought this 35i! So far I have to say I'm absolutely smitten with it, far more low down torque than before and although it's currently on run flats the ride is much better than the E85. Definitely...

    Alternative Refurb for Steering Wheel Trim

    Having ordered a new wheel from Jack at Royal, thoughts turned to the rather tired looking chrome trims on the steering wheel itself and what could be done to either replace or refurbish them, srhutch posted a rather excellent thread about plastidipping the black trim here...

    Slightly peculiar HID issue?

    Okay so I'll start by saying I've never been the biggest fan of aftermarket HID kits and the glare the bad one's (especially in reflector headlights) can cause to other road users. That said, with every other vehicle I own having xenons now (hell, even the tractor has HIDs!) and with living out...

    Clicking Reversing Sensors

    So, every time I select reverse all I get from the reversing sensors is a constant beeping. Not one long beep and then nothing, just a constant beep that lasts as long as I'm in reverse as if it constantly thinks I'm hitting something. I've checked the sensors to see if they click, with the...

    Managed 700 miles in the Z4 yesterday...

    So, due to a bit of a hash being made of planning ahead by dearest brother of mine, I wound up making my first long trip in the Z4 driving him to University and making my way back again on Sunday. 700 miles and 12 hours later I arrived back home and have now decided I must sort cruise control...

    New Owner In Sunny Cornwall

    Hello! Having picked up my Z4 about two months ago I thought it was about time to sign up! So far so good and I'm loving the noise of that engine (tunnels may have been involved at times) and still marveling at just how tidy the previous owner has kept it! Now for pics because there just...
