    Need some advice regarding BC Racing kits and other suspension refurbishment

    Hello all, long time no see. Still have my Z4MC, driving it very rarely now but not planning on selling any time soon! Last time i was out a several weeks ago i noticed that one corner was sagging, the strut must have collapsed so it's finally time to upgrade. Im thinking of the BC Racing...

    Fellow Coupe owners, help needed with alarm sensor cover (on roof ceiling inside)

    Hi guys, about a year or two ago my roof lining started sagging a lot. Took it to a shop and had it replaced and all was good. A few weeks later I noticed that the cover in the middle of the roof inside which apparently is for an alarm sensor was not as solidly secured as before, it was on but...

    Pink tint on main and high beams on one side

    Hello guys, a couple of days ago while driving back home after a stop when I started the car up again i noticed that on the passenger's side the light now has a pink/purple tint to it. It's there both on main and on high beam... Can you please advise on which bulb i need to replace? Is it #1...

    This car just hates me! Post track-day woes...

    Honestly... I think I bought a lemon and the thing just hates me on top of it. As a few of you may remember about 3 years ago my car suffered rod-bearing failure while making a pull on the highway. It took a long time to rebuild using new bearings, a used connecting rod and a used crankshaft...

    Subjective comparison between Michelin Pilot Supersport and Pilot Sport 4 S (its replacement)

    Thought you might find this interesting from the guys from www.tyrereviews.co.uk F65rXOlS2f8 He basically says it's an overall improvement in all areas, especially wet grip and the only downside is a small reduction in the on-limit feel of the tyre. I think I found my next tyres :D

    My Cyprus photo thread

    I thought i'd make a thread with various pics shot in my beautiful island so people who haven't visited can see a bit of what's it like. Some will be landscapes, others with my Z4 but they're all going to be in Cyprus. Some might not have been taken by me but i'll say which ones. Keep in mind...

    Ariel Atom 300 on Ring (forum Z4MC's cameos??)

    nA8Hr7XhlSM Was watching this really cool onboard clip of a nicely driven supercharged Ariel Atom when what do i spot after the lap's finished and the driver's chatting with someone in the parking lot? Not one, but possibly two forum Z4MC's! I think that parked white Z4MC at minute 12:00 is...

    Filthy Z4 M Coupe photoshoot

    Folding mirrors keep getting stuck in the up position

    As per the title, while they do fold up as usual they now get stuck up there when i press the button to fold them down. Also the passenger's side is usually just a tad slower than the driver's side which is weird... I can hear the mechanism whirring for a few seconds but they wont fold back down...

    First gen Land Rover Freelanders? Money pit?

    What do you guys think about the 1st gen Freelander? I'm after a small-ish diesel SUV for a daily driver but with actual mild off-road capabilities. Noticed that used Freelanders are extremely cheap out here. I can get a 2000 2.0lt tdi model for around 3000 euro... What's the catch?? :(

    Which cheap wheels for track day set?

    I'm thinking of getting another set of wheels for track days, not right now but eventually i will. Any suggestions on which ones to get? Ideally they'd be light and i'd probably prefer the same ones all around so i can rotate them. Maybe 9" wide everywhere? Don't know a thing about offsets and...

    On the lookout for Z4 M engine or engine parts?

    Anyone hears of a Z4M being sold for parts or relatively recent E46 M3 please let me know. Due to my catastrophic rod bearings problem i'm looking for a new crankshaft, new connecting rods and of course new bearings. It might be cheaper getting a whole engine and stick that in with new bearings...

    Please have your rod bearings checked...

    I didn't post this before but anyway consider this a public service announcement. Please, PLEASE have your connecting rod bearings checked on your next service. At worst you'll see that they're fine and no harm done, only some extra labour costs... If not fine you'll probably be saved loads...

    Local mini car meet

    So, today i spent my afternoon with these guys. These are pictures from my phone but hopefully i'll have better quality ones to post from the guys who brought DSLR's. Sadly we didn't do a quick run out to the meeting point, it was more of a cars and coffee type thing. Hope you like.

    Yokohama AD08 R announced

    Thought id post this, a newer version of the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 has been announced. Apparently it's almost 2 seconds a lap quicker on Tsukuba! That's a huge difference! Tread pattern remains the same but the compound has been improved. I couldn't find a mention of wear rate for them but...

    How much would these brakes go for?

    This is not an advert! I have my stock M brakes and i'm thinking of selling them to someone local. A friend with a CSL recently sold his stock brakes for 400 euros! And that's for front AND rear discs, callipers, carriers and brake lines!! How much would it go for in the UK or where you are...

    Dirty ///M makes some noise

    Shot this a couple of days ago. Remarkably it's been raining on and off for the last couple of weeks hence the dirty car. My favorite part are the pops towards the end of the vid! sHMXkYFUh9o
