New Bosch S5 battery fitted. Starts with such vigor now. Then nipped for a wee drive with a pub stop. The old battery was a Genuine 2018 dated one but was not working as it should.

Had a lovely drive to collect some brakes for my E90 and thought it rude not to stop at the pub for a pint.

Lovely set of staggered MV2 alloys with tyres. These are in good condition and I have gone into each wheel/tyre detail below. Minor damage as listed and one tyre needs replacing. Front (8J) 225/40/18 Avon ZV7 dated 39/21 with 6mm+, tiny amount of kerbing, no dents or cracks. M badge and...

Popped in to order some parts at North Oxford BMW and they have a stunning silver Z8 for sale with only 34,000 miles (or there about) on it. Very, very nice indeed, had a good look around it. It was not cheap though!

So I have fitted new wheels to my Z4M Roadster and I can’t fit my new centre caps (BMW self levelling ones) on the front due to the concave nature of the wheels. The hub has a bung/cap on it that sticks out a fair way (like you used to get on FWD cars that covered the d/shaft nut and split pin)...

Full set of springs and all required extra parts for 2006 Z4M. Came off Roadster but must be same as Coupe. Shocks are to be considered no good (rears don’t extent on there own, no gas left in them, front do so can be reused), all are original 2006 dated and came off my car with 52,000 miles on...

Complete Gravity exhaust that was fitted to my E86 for 2 years. Good quality stainless steel system at a decent price and in good condition. It sounded really good on my car and the fit was okay. Just removed from my car as I have put the standard one back on to sell it. Collection from Oxford...

My daily (now not a daily as it only gets used every other weekend like my M Roadster) is a 2006 manual E90 330d with a stage one map. It really is a quick daily (effortlessly so, you don’t need to rev it above 2000 rpm to make good progress) car that is super frugal with it. Owned for 10 years...

A trip over the Cotswolds allowed me to take a few pics. Car was splattered in dead bugs that must have just appeared on first sight of the sun.

Anyone got a fully functional secondhand gaptech E85 roof module for sale?

Finished refreshing the Z4M light up gearknob. It had horrible bubbles under the paint where the numbers were and looked awful. Popped the top off and realised I would have to take all the paint off (including the M flash). Anyway I masked up and repainted the flash from scratch than masked and...

So I have owned my Z4 coupe for for around 3 years and it has been fabulous but I had a nasty M itch bothering me. I did used to think that the coupe was 75% of the M! Well after having test driven 4x M’s I realised it is a completely different car (realised this after the very first test...

I’m hoping for plenty of replies on this one so I can make the right call. Background: Whilst driving on a dual carriageway at a rock steady 77 (indicated) mph (which I had been doing for at least 40 miles my 2006 E86 dropped a cylinder whilst going up a gentle incline followed by another at...

Tuesday just gone in deepest darkest Wales.

So I have had my E86 3.0si for about 18 months and from day one I haven’t been happy with the suspension. It’s far too hard and crashy at lower speeds which is odd as it has plenty of travel and indeed is much better at higher speeds even on bumpy roads. I’m certain it’s the original M Sport...

So, bought my E86 si back in September 20. Drove it for a year and knew from the off that one of the disa valves was rattling, never got work during the year of driving but thought it might be lacking some torque. No real driving issues with it apart from slight hesitation on WOT. Fast forward...

Got my first Z4 Coupe about a month now and done around 700 miles in it. Absolutely loving it in every way, feels like an event when you get in it (be that sitting in or driving). Wanted one for an age and been looking (half heartedly to gain knowledge on them) for years. Anyway one came up...
