Re: Piece of 'luck' - but need a quick tip.
Whilst driving up the M40 yesterday, what can only be described as 'half a house brick' bounced up and hit the front on my Z4. Luckily (I reckon that it was my manic swerve) it hit right on the front badge (wreaking it :( ), but missing every panel (wooooh! - yes!). :o :o :o :o How do I remove the ...

There comes a time… Actually, I have driven very little this year, for one reason or another, partly because it took a while for BMW to decide to replace the engine (having twice replaced many parts of the old one) :head: In the meanwhile I took an interest in learning to fly a Glider, and have got ...

I had a set of wheels for my Z3 M Coupé refurbished by LapTab in Birmingham a couple of years ago. I drove about 1000 miles on them while I had another set refurbished, and since then they have been sitting in my garage packed in shipping boxes. I believe a set recently sold on eBay for around £500,...

During a tidy-up in my office, I just discovered that I have a Z4 CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) as modified by Zeckhausen that I won as a prize at the Big Cheese Rally last year: I had forgotten about it.
