I've found members on this forum to be fantastically helpful so contribute when I can. But some member's responses can depend on the questioners efforts to search the forum / google / RealOEM themselves first. Most topics have been covered before but the forum search function isn't the best TBH. You can search the forum more effectively by typing site:Z4-forum.com in google, followed by the search term you are after, this restricts google's results to pages within that site only. Using "quotation" marks around a word or phrase forces google to only give results that contain that exact term. Combined it can save a lot of effort :thumbsup:

Example, site:Z4-forum.com "test" battery voltage will give google results only from the forum, that refer to battery OR voltage but definitely contains the word "test"

I hope this helps 8)

Thanks Ewazix, thats what I really want. I have been scouring the forum search option for the info I require but to no avail. Wasted a lot of time, hence my posting on the forum as a last resort.

Bearded weirdos who know the whole development and history of the torque settings for every nut and bolt on their car that has so many parts changed that it'd put Triggers Broom to shame!

Strange people that have a supernatural ability to wax lyrical about anything connected (or disconnected) or remotely related to a particular marque :P
