Quick clean today- Bilt Hamber wheel clean, Dodo Juice "Born to be Mild" shampoo (2 buckets) AutoFiness wash mitt and then microfiber towel dryed. Wonder wheels Wheel sealant.
Will "quick detail" tomorrow with Bouncers "Done and Dusted" to finish off.
The Coupe had another check/4 wheel alignment last week ( set for fast road use and not BMW rubbish settings) with the chap at FCM motorsport, so car running well at the moment!

I reinstalled my Pioneer 8700 DAB head unit with a black flush fitting fascia kit, replacing the awful anthracite protruding one I used initially. Had to cut out some plastic behind the dash to fit it in though: also I fitted a new combined aux/USB socket to the panel under the dash.
Before: After: Then I replaced the (probably original) spark plugs after 8.5 years and 72500 miles, that looked like the electrodes had seen better days!

Oh yeah? I was considering one, at one point! How they compare? Or can't you? Lol!
Kinda painful to look at! Should have gone to DLV (should have gone specsavers type thing) lol.
Not easier to do a front? Looks like a coupe? Rear windows are probably a nightmare?

Drove my Zed on wet roads this morning, first time that has happened since the day i purchased it. Misjudged the weather on the way to the gym, it rained while I was there.
It had to happen at some pointi guess. Next time will be MOT day of course.
Still it needed a bit of a clean, so give me something to do this afternoon.

Rear springs done. took half an hour. Photo shows the unbroken one was on its last legs… Went for the Sachs as the price was good (£75- Eurospares)) and with a lifetime warranty. The ride is probably 10mm higher due to age and the coils are thicker than standard on the tapered ends. The original dampers still feel fine ever after my mileage.

Pretty sure you've bought the wrong springs and that's why they're higher.
You probably had M Sport but it's always standard that get sold by places like that.

Finally fitted the new pirellis to my 224's in the oem sizes so I can go back to 15mm spacers on the fronts.

Took it to BMW UK in Farnborough this morning and got a free bacon roll from BMW!
My Z4 wasn't too lonely - there were a few other E86s there!
Sadly the new Z4 wasn't present - the person I spoke to said "it" was at the Frankfurt Motor Show (but I would have thought they may have more than 1).
Still there were plenty of lovely BMWs to look at (more in the car parks than in the building though)!

Lovely day. Took her for a spin on Dartmoor. Then a quick wash and dry and back in the garage.
