I have to confess that 100GRA your rear end was quite the best - right up until TT posted his pic! Got quite carried away with comparing them until I remembered that I have one as well!

...and I think I'll stick with that (but I woudn't turn the other down either).

Our cars will skip about a bit and if it's not too severe it adds to the fun... if you know what I mean! But 'traggic understeer on roundabouts' is no way 'fun' and you definitely have a problem. As an example mine goes everywhere like it's on rails. First, there is no such thing as a 'rough check' ...

Hi, welcome to the forum. From my personal experience if you have been happy with a Jag I would suggest you would be more at home with the 2.8 or 3.0. It's really a lot to do with what you've had before that tailors your perception. I run a 3.0i and it would take Fred's pension to claw it out of my ...

Wheelcaps are 65mm bore on regular Z3. Check prices at the dealers first, you may find them cheaper than Fleabay (the wheelcaps certainly are)!

I must emphasise that none of any of this is 'my' idea, I just found it while trawling the net. You're welcome to try and see if it really works. Each remote transmitter has a unique identification (ID) code. In order for a replacement remote to operate your security system, or to delete the ID code...

Chrome windscreen cover

BMW will sell you pretty much anything if it's to replace a damaged item (for instance)! As ever, it's to do with attitude. The screen surround is available no problem. Removal of the screen is not at all necessary. Do half the screen at a time. Fitting is simplified if you preload two lengths of st...
