IMHO greatly overpriced for a CAT D.

It is a lovely colour though.
That's what really caught my eye.

Estroil (sic) blue 2.2 z3. Previously owned by tanning salon

That got your attention.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Estoril blue for M cars only?

How do I sort this leather?

Hi all My Coupe's seat has this horrible black mark on it. I have attempted to clean and cover with the furniture clinic kit but to no avail. What would be the best way to get this out? Would it be best to sand it back? Then I'd be worried about the colour match I have the Imola seat dye. http://i13...

Unless of course it's running rich according to the pre cat lambda (you'll need diagnostics) and you have an air leak somewhere!

Re: Just scraped the MOT

If the lambda was at 1, then that's the perfect air to fuel ratio (stoichiometric value), do I'd say that points to a cat issue

S50 - what is this hose?

All I'm trying to diagnose the lambda emissions issue I'm having for the MOT. It's either related to the intake, lambda sensors or a leaky exhaust. I tried sticking an OBD2 reader on using the 10 pin connector under the bonnet but no joy. I've also tested the exhaust and I can't see / hear any leaks...

Re: BMW Z3 2.2 M Sport upgrades advice

Well said Lee... It's all about ones personal preferences... Personally I like Simota... nice throaty roar on acceleration... Only intake filter I don't like is one that requires oiling...I have an aversion to the idea that oily air is being sucked into the motor...whether it does or not I couldn't...
