Morning All I’ve had a search on this subject but can’t fine anything from the last few years. Any recommendations. Thanks.

Hello All We were up north back in September on a very hot day. We parked up for an hour and returned to our E86 Coupe it started fine but it immediately it became apparent it was only running on,probably 4cylinders. The engine management light was on. I continued for a few miles then stopped...

Hi All I appreciate it's a long shot but does anyone have either a passengers side or pair of bumper reflectors for a face lift E86/85. Thanks.

Hi All I know, tyres have been done to death, however one question I can't find an up-to-date answer to while searching. I have a Si Sport Coupe with fresh Bilstein B4s and new standard Suplex springs. I'm running on standard 18in MV2 at present with standard 255:35 on the back and 225:40 on...

Clean for once.

GONE Thanks all. I was sent these after being told they would fit my E86, they don't. They weren't keen to have them back and refunded me half the cost, so if anyone what's them drop me a message with your address and I'll happily send them anywhere in the UK...

A Lot !!!!!

Hi All I hate it if the black trim on my E86 is not properly black. I've used a number of products over the years, however I have never managed to be successful with the trim above the door windows. I think this is a different material from the rest. Anyone had any success keeping this black...

I have finally tucked my coupe away for a few months after removing a rear quarter panel to treat the start of a little corrosion on the flange connection to the side skirt. When I unpacked my Carcoon I noticed the date on the delivery label, which is 1996. I originally bought this for my BMW...

I have decided to attack a very small but significant rust problem at the base of the rear wing. I've decided the only way to tackle this properly is to remove the wing. I've made a start and removed the wheel arch liner and the interior trim. I can obviously see the bolts under the rear hatch...

Some of you may be aware of this additional aspect to the water pooling problem, however it was a surprise to.me. I had to repeat this a number of times before all the water was removed. https://youtu.be/zrsOpeN-6Q0

Welcome along. Interestingly I was heading home up the M74 one day when a silver grey coupe when past me at speed. This was around 2006 and I’d never seen one before. I was driving my TR6 at the time which I finally sold last year and found my Coupe. Happy days. :D

Evening all I have the start of some rust appearing on the top edge of the horizontal joint between the rear wing and the lower panel. Before I start, had anyone any advice about removing the lower panel Thanks.

E12 M535i. First of the M cars if you exclude the M1 Supercar. Great fun, but a handful in the wet even with its LSD.

Micro beading.

Some great photos. Wonder if your autumn colours have arrived yet, here in north Perthshire the trees are still predominantly green.

Over the last year I have had a number of attempts at improving the finish on my silver grey coupe without much success. I fully decontaminated the paint starting with a thorough going over with a clay bar and then a polish with a mild cutting material before trying different protection...

I went with B4s with Suplex springs and 12mm spacers front and back, very happy with this setup.

I have the same, silver grey and red interior. My wheels are slightly darker than OEM however don’t clash with the body colour and importantly to my keep the contrast with the tyres.
