They are gonna be a PAIN to clean. But look good!

Did a standard wash at the petrol station wash bay (since I live in an apartment and don’t have a driveway to do it properly). Used Meguires Alloy Wheel cleaner on the wheels. Dried them then sprayed them down with Meguires Hybrid Ceramic spray (no rinse, just wipe off - gives a more robust...

Spent a long time yesterday detailing, cleaning, claying, and waxing the car up yesterday and got it shined up nicely.

What it says on the tin. I'm fed up of being scalped by the stealers. £170+VAT per hour to investigate an issue that somehow magically only started after they did some work to my car. They're claiming it's nothing to do with that, but can charge me for the privilege of finding a new problem...

Wondering if I could get some opinions as I'm hearing conflicting ones from different mechanics on this. Took the car into Peter Vardy BMW in August to have the roof wiring fixed when it got stuck open and as part of their health check, they advised me of a number of things they recommend that...

So my Z was in the stealers for the last 4 weeks and they gave me a 2024 X3 while it was away, and I really liked having CarPlay, so I want to get upgraded. I've read through the various threads on the topic, and know of the Mr12Volt and Android screen options. BUT, has anyone taken the plunge...

My lights finally arrived. I ordered the Clear/Red ones as I felt that would be the best fit for my Z. There's still a slight tint to them but I think they look good. The tinted ones and the black ones would've been too dark for my tastes. I've left the scrolling indicator on for now. Easy to...

I ordered a pair of these today. Have been going back and forth about which colour to order for an Alpine White Zed, was close to ordering the smoked ones, but then saw these on Instagram that convinced me. These are the clear & red version on a mineral white Zed. I think they look much better...

There are 4 large clips holding it in place behind the mirror. Tilt the mirror down as far as it’ll go and you should be able to get a trim removal tool behind and see the clips. Push each one out and the mirror cap should pop off easily.

Sorry to start yet another thread about roof problems and microswitches, but I can't find anything that definitively answers my question or refers to my specific issue. SimpleCarGuy had the same problem, but when he did his video halfway through found a broken wire and so didn't deal with fixing...

How do I know for sure if my FRM module is corrupted or bricked? I've noticed a number of issues developing with the car since retrofitting LCI headlights and I'm trying to get to the bottom of what's happening before I do anything. I've coded the car with Carly in the past to enable things...

I've got my hands on a pair of LCI headlights and would like some advice on retrofitting them from someone who has done it before or knows about it please. Have searched the topic widely but mostly just found people giving opinions along the lines of "its so expensive why bother" which is of no...

There’s been a few attempts in the last couple of years to design a Z4 Shooting Brake, all of which were more successful than the BMW designers were. The official BMW rear end is disgusting. Concepts... Vs BMW official Z4 Touring…

Have considered and also interested in others' experience with it.
