What have you done to your car today?

[Ocsltd]

Noted!!! Thanks.

So fitting the new one should be just a case of pushing it on?

Glad you got one, you’ll love it! My old one slid off surprisingly easy and didn’t hit myself!! Yeah the new one just pushes on, you just need to give it a bit of a thud at the end so it ‘seats’ properly. I just used the palm of my hand and gave it a whack, job done.

Sanded down a spare brushed Aluminium centre console, hoping to get a nice “polished” finish. Only partly successful as the metal was pitted in places, so put on a base coat primer and ordered some paint instead.

Sorn for this year

Perfect, thanks for the reply and helpful info!!

Great video man .... I've got to ask what camera are using to film it's so clear

Today, I tried cleaning up my (new to me) Z4's steering wheel with some alcohol wipes and elbow grease. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Facelifted the front and rear.... the pre-facelift halogens to facelift bi-xenons with led angel eyes was probably the trickiest part, followed by tracking down all the parts for the front bumper



Now I have to spoil the look by adding a number plate

Next job: finally get around to installing my aero skirts

That looks stunning!!! Top job!!

Today I replaced my standard gear knob in my E85 with a genuine ZHP one. Massively improves the gearchange throw and feel, nice and weighty compared to the original one. Bargain price too from a BMW dealer selling on eBay, £59 delivered next day.

I just did the exact same thing! I suspect by your quoted price, from the same eBay seller too

Managed to move the roof motor into the boot.

Thought it was a good day to clean all the glass & rubber seals today (it helps if you can put the roof into comfort access mode), soft scrubbing with some car shampoo & nylon brush followed by some Gummi Pfledge treatment

Hi Tango22, yes push new one on firmly

 

[LittleZ4]

SMF fitted today as my dmf was absolutely f#cked!!! Initial thoughts "my god I hope this beds in!!" Above about 1700 rpm it's all good but definitely has more vibration under that. Still, it's a 1000 times better than what came out!!

vanos rebuild, new spark plugs, ignition coils, cleaned ICV, checked DISA valve, swapped faulty MAF (bumper & headlight off for that job)

Cant beat predictive text for a cheap giggle.

Does it need the front off for the MAF sensor? It’s on my to do.

Carbon wrapped my gear surround and the small slide out panel near the handbrake. Turned out well, pleased with it as the black plastic underneath had a few annoying scratches in it. I'm looking at wrapping the brushed aluminium trim in the centre console but it is a complete faff to remove I believe so for now I decided to just do the easy parts. I think it gives a decent contrast between the light and dark pieces.
