    FOR SALE z4 35is 2016 47k miles

    Looks lovely and pretty much identical to the November 2015, 35is which I owned a few years back. Reasonable ask and I agree with your sentiments regarding 326's, I swapped out the run flat Continentals for MPS 4's and it completely transformed the handling and gave added protection to the...

    G29 M40i Thundernight - £40,000 No Offers

    I have decided to step back into a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0. It's likely that my M40i will be part exchanged but I thought I would put a quick for sale post on here just in case anybody is interested. I ordered the car from new and it is bearing my private plate T7 YAR. The plate is not included in...

    For those of you who have changed their wiper blades have you gone OEM or someone like Bosch?

    M40i Handling

    Overall I am delighted with my M40i, however, under hard acceleration the rear feels like it's about to let go. The car is on its factory supplied Michelin Pilot Super Sports with only £3K on the clock and running exactly on the recommended pressures. Even in warm dry conditions things feel a...

    Cleaning High Gloss Black Interior Trim

    I have a couple of stubborn smudges on my interior trim. I have tried wiping with a clean microfibre but they are still there. I don't want to start rubbing to hard in case I scratch the surface. Anybody got any recommendations of a suitable product to use.

    Boot Liner

    I understand BMW don't make a boot liner for the G29. Anyone fitted an aftermarket one and if so what's your thoughts on it.

    More Pics - Thunderbirds Are Go.......Actually Thundernight

    Collected the car this morning and drove 50 miles home. Absolutely delighted with it. Tom Smith at Cotswold BMW Hereford has been superb. A few pictures of it in its unwashed state before it goes for detailing next week.

    M40i - PPF

    My car has landed in the UK so delivery is not far off. How have existing owners found their cars have faired with regard to stone chips. Are there any areas of bodywork which are pretty susceptible. Has anyone gone down the PPF route whether partial or full (I know the pre LCI cars have a small...

    Potential M40i Purchase - Owners Views

    After almost 3 years in my Cayman I think it could be time for a change and Z4 No 5 is calling, probably in Thundernight. I have previously had a 35is and also an M140i so I would anticipate the driving experience is very similar with the 3 litre engine, auto and rear wheel drive. At this...

    Big Boi Touchless Car Dryer

    I have invested in one of these on the recommendation of the detailer I use for my ceramic coating and PPF. The idea being the less you physically touch the car the less likely you are to create holograms, swirls etc. It takes longer than using drying towels, however the end result is well worth...

    Boxster Spruce Up

    Took advantage of a rise in temperature today to give the Boxster a thorough clean from top to bottom. Here are a few gratuitous photos

    Car Glass Cleaner

    I have tried several different well known brands over the years and always been underwhelmed by the results. I recently invested in some fish scale glass cloths and these have made little difference. Anyone got any recommendations or tips please.
