    So long, my lovely 35is

    Today is rather a sad day for me: I sold my beautiful 2014 valencia orange 35is. I had it 4 years, and before that I had a 2009 23i for 4 years (which went briefly to Andy Argyle before he moved onto a G29). Just a couple of issues in my ownership, both fixed under warranty - the adaptive...

    Heathrow meet and greet service. Not a good experience

    So I arrived back yesterday at "Heathrow's own terminal 5 meet and greet" service when going through the barriers to find I owed extra parking, and from the customer service response that I should be grateful that I did not get charged extra (another £15) because it should be a full day late. I...

    basically the top seal comes off, there are two torq screws on each side which allow you to completely remove it. then rake out all the old sealant. put back sealant where it came out (basically its all the way along, and particularly on the flat ends). Here's one side

    BMW Z4 E89 3.Oi 2011 - Water Ingress but no leaks

    I've post this before, but heres a picture and a video that might help someone with the "top seal" issue. This is showing water ingress coming under the seal. It drops down onto the interior trim and then goes underneath the tool box (left hand side) or electronics (right hand side), without it...

    What mods/additions would you make?

    What wheels (and tyres) have you got? that would also be an option. My previous Z4 was a pauper spec 23i, that had horrible 17" wheels on it. made a big difference to swap to larger/nicer looking wheels. :thumbsup: I did also add heated/electric sports seats to it, although it was a bit of a...

    Here we go again, 296 cracked

    Mine are the later 326's, but yes they've cracked.. seems like even the revised ones are not infalible. When you replace the tyres as well it becomes expensive...so that's why I went refurb and weld. Plus I never quite liked any replacement as much as the orginals (and there are some that look...

    How much would you pay to hire a new Z4?

    So Easyjet have cancelled my flights to Italy (thanks guys) so I am now changing my car hire to match. came across this "deal" at Milan Malpensa 10 day hire - eye wateringly expensive with Sixt. Doesn't even say what model it is! Maybe ok for a weekend but £320 per day is way out of the...

    Foxwell NT530... definitely not impressed

    I'm posting here because I have an e89 and I have seen quite a few people recommending the NT530. I was interested because I have another car that I also want to use it with, and it appeared to be a good way to have both cars supported via a scanning/fixing device. About 10 days ago I started...

    2x 19" 326 rear wheels with no tyres- will they fit in my boot?

    Hi all, I've just manged to find a couple of replacement 326 wheels for my cracked rears - I'm wondering if anyone has practical experience of knowing if they will both fit in the boot of my Z4 or do I need to take a more boring drive for the trip! They don't have tyres, but I suspect it will be...

    E89 ‘Wheels’ thread.... post your pic’s

    I've found out, whilst thinking about replacing my 326's that its really hard to decide if I like a wheel or not, mainly because I like the look of the 326 so much on my car and everything else looks "worse". I ended up using a free app (GIMP) and superimposing pictures of the wheels onto my...

    water in diesel fuel filter - Suzuki Grand Vitara

    Non Z advice required... My other half has a 2011 1.9 DDIS Suzuki Grand Vitara, and I've been struggling with a warning light on the dash - which says water in fuel filter. I've followed the instructions, and let (some) fluid out... but the light mostly stays on (it went out for about 20 mins...
