    Going green

    It's all a bit confusing, and it depends who you ask. My car was advertised as Viper green, both when I bought it recently and from an older ad I found. However, from what I've read Viper green is the name for an older paint that Porsche used some time ago. The paint code on mine seems to...

    Going green

    Was thinking about a Cayman R and came close to buying one, but decided I didn't want to spend that much at the moment. The next day after taking that decision this Cayman S turned up on Autotrader, it was the perfect spec for me so left a deposit over the phone. Flight down to London the...

    Z4M Coupe

    Just looking to buy a Cayman, so I guess I should sell my Z4MC. I actually agree with your opinion of the oil changes, annual or close to that is best. The problem with buying lower mileage cars is that the servicing is often done on miles rather than time, meaning old oil for extended times...

    Z4MC photoshoot

    Called up a friend of mine who is really into photography and asked if he'd be interested in taking a few photos of the Z4. Went out and caught the light not long before going dark, very happy with how they turned out. More photos on the following links to Flickr, Instagram and his own...

    ATE front discs

    Just had a look at my front brake discs and decided to replace them. I see Autodoc have the front discs (ATE) for £174 each on their app, just wondering before making an order if anyone knew of cheaper? I see I only have 20 minutes before the deal ends, so I'll likely just go for it anyway...

    Apex widest front wheel?

    Looking for some help, I'm sure this will be the place to ask :D Trying to decide which wheels to order for the front of a Z4M. I've had a look at the fitting guide on the Apex website, it seems that a 9" is the maximum width I can have. My car is pretty much standard other than the Eibach...

    Carly or equivalent?

    Looking into getting Carly, or another type of the same thing. Not really by plan, but we've ended up with 3 BMWs within the family, so hoping to get something that can cover all three. I don't mind if it works by phone, laptop or whatever, but looking to get whatever can serve all three cars...

    Black car polishing

    Here is the kit I now use, and further down a quick link to when I used it on my black car. It does require some investment though, this lot, with back up pads plus clay bar, masking tape and including the rotary will be close to £500. https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=132516 I...

    3M Perfect It Triple Polish

    My car had a small paint issue when I picked it up, a strange contaminant of some kind all over the car, but worse on the roof and bonnet. It had been ceramic coated some years back, so maybe the remains of that, but not sure. Tried covering the car with Autoglym Magma, then went over it with...

    Eventuri Carbon vs Kevlar

    Looking into an air intake from Eventuri or GruppeM. I've done a search and from what I can read not much difference between them, and plenty of other threads so apologies for starting another. But, I have one question I couldn't find an answer to. Is there any difference between the Carbon...

    New Z4M Coupe owner

    Hi everyone, just thought I should check in since I finally got round to buying a Z4 M Coupe. Been looking on and off for a while, also keeping an eye out for other things, a Cayman was another possibility. Glad I've ended up with this though, it basically replaced a E39 M5 that I sold last...
