Saw this one in Hartington, Peak District a couple of weeks back. Stratstone plates on it and apparently 'from £195,000' !Phoenixboy said:Agreed, but I’d still take one at m money thoben g said:Phoenixboy said:that and a 458 Ferrari of course
A red Ferrari is a bit samey-sameya red BMW, Let alone an M version, seems quite the rare sight.
When you walk round and study the detail it truly is a work of art...and surprisingly big !
They are stunning with so much presence.patriot66 said:Saw this one in Hartington, Peak District a couple of weeks back. Stratstone plates on it and apparently 'from £195,000' !Phoenixboy said:Agreed, but I’d still take one at m money thoben g said:A red Ferrari is a bit samey-samey

Sorry typo ( JEMBO ) 
Today I finally managed to get my handbrake working perfectly. It's only been about 3 years in the making :lol: lots of trial and error and it appears to be working as it should.
Then I removed the 12mm spacers from the front wheels, to see whether that sorts out the wayward steering. It was incredibly twitchy at motorway speeds. Unsure if this is due to wheel balancing, sticky steering or the spacers, so decided to try out the simple bits first, to narrow it down.
Then I finished by giving both Z4 and A200 a well overdue vacuum. Amazing how much dirt, stones and debris accumulates in the footwells. Also found some money :lol:

You won't be disappointed. I bought a retrimmed standard wheel for my car a few years ago. The retrimmed standard one still wasn't as thick as my standard sport wheel. Just make sure when they retrim your sport wheel they don't end up making it thinner
The sport wheel feels so good to touch
Strut off to replace broken spring perch.
Found out a few extra things:
- removing struts on axle stands is very hard until you realise that turning the wheel to full lock gives you loads more room :roll:
- my top mount bearings need replacing (forum diagnosis - thanks)
- coilovers go low enough to remove the springs without using compressors - win!
- stainless steel bits are awesome and put the rest of your rusty car to shame

That’s does sound nice, it’s a great bit of road when it’s clear. Nice to read M///s being used this time of year
I drove mine to Plympton to get some stuff from Screwfix

A roadster with no heated seats
Nice knob
2019 is the year for heated seats. There's an nice set of red z4m ones on fleabay with doorcards but they're a bit steep for my liking at £950
so I'll probably keep my eye out for a good set of e46 ones instead.2019 is the year for heated seats. There's an nice set of red z4m ones on fleabay with doorcards but they're a bit steep for my liking at £950 so I'll probably keep my eye out for a good set of e46 ones instead.

Yeah, I have those in my watch list. I'd love to have them but I really can't justify that kind of cash. Just teasing myself tbh

There's a black set for £800 too. Still more than I want to spend though.
