I've been looking at how to improve my audio system since a bought the car over 12 months ago. I priced up the sub conversion and investigated the swap over of all the existing speakers including adding some in each door. It all seemed like hard work and the end result, disappointment and an...

I thought I had got away with it after cleaning out the drains and faultless operation of the roof. Unfortunately, I was wrong and yesterday it failed. Could anyone recommend the best action for repair and/or replacement? By this I mean suggestions of local independents or is it best to take it...

Just had a really good qoute for a cat back system on my 2004 3.0l Z4. £325 including all the extra bits. The thing is this, is it a good idea and will it affect the performance in a good or bad way? I am considering the mid sports model. Not too quiet but not too loud apparently. I would really...

Bored with the chore of cleaning the black dust off my ellipsoids, I am considering a set of RED STUFF ceramic compound front brake pads. I was wondering if anyone has tried a set of these as the brake fade is meant to reduce significantly and the liberation of brake dust is supposed to be...

My new pedal covers arrived today. Nice heavy aluminium with rubber strips. Got em off Ebay and they are for an E46 but I think they will fit. I shall make them fit. Got all three for an auto for £15 still in the shrink wrap.

I was really lucky as I managed to plug in the AUX lead without removing the fascia vents and head unit. I just felt about through the air con removable panel and gently inserted it. Good times as I was in danger of damaging the vents in my desperate effort to remove them. Here are some shots of...

How do I get a bigger signature picture? The one you see here is as big as I can get it. Thanks in anticipation. AndyG

I've bought myself some of those carbon fibre replacement badges for the boot and bonnet. What I'm concerned about is getting the original ones off without drama or damage. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers, AndyG

All I did was attempt to switch from disc 4 to 3, an operation I have faultlessly carried out many times since I bought the car in February. The display said this"3-" and nothing happened. I pulled over and pressed the cassette eject button but to no avail. After looking through some posts...

Just seen a TV ad for "Mantis". It's a spray that you squirt on your car and simply wipe the dirt off! The Focus ST in the ad looked like it had just finished the forest stage of a gruelling rally. What's next? Buff it up with a sheet of P60!!! It must be OK if you've got a matt Lambo. Anybody...

I fitted a full set of Kumho Extensa normal tyres to my 3.0i 2004 roadster as my girlfriend refused to go anywhere in the car. The ride was similar to a food processor set to rough chop. I've got 18" ellipsoids as the pic shows and I absolutely guarantee that it is now a different car. The...

Hi, I retro fitted the cruise control stalk this afternoon to my Zed. I disconnected the negative terminal and plugged in the connector as described in the various How To guides. I reconnected the negative terminal and started the car. To my dismay, the Airbag warning light came on and stayed...

I had an idle moment at work the other day and when an idle bloke is equipped with an Iphone and the Ebay app all sorts of things can happen. I found myself browsing through the thousands of LED bulb replacement options when I thought, "damn the consequences, I'm having a set of those". Here is...

I picked up my lovely Z4 three weeks ago. The car had the telltail signs of having lived under a tree in a previous life. I have a few hours free on Saturday morning to clean these drain holes and hopefully prevent the roof motor failing as described by many members of this forum. Could anyone...

Here she is in all her glory. Hope you like my little tweaks, especially the silver calipers. If i didn't own this car, I would want to.

Hello, I've owned my 2004 Z4 3.0i convertable for just 2 weeks. This forum and the help of SK93 with the wiper park problem fix has been priceless! Thankyou to everyone concerned with the upkeep of the site and the contributions. Right then, I have tonight removed the bulkhead end foam...
