I'm back on the hunt for an E85 Z4, with the following: - M Sport pack - M sport seats (heated) - Manual gearbox - Xenon headlights - Good service history - Standard (or as close to standard as possible - e.g stubby aerial, bluetooth retrofit, powder coated wheels permissible) - Looking for a...

Around 35 mpg Much better than the TT but about the same as the E85 3.0si I used to run. Dechromed the headlights 17820627_10154483013857006_1806642215_o by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr

Spent the day on the wheels / arches today. First car i've owned that has these nasty fabric arch liners :doublesho Attacked the arches / calipers / suspension setup with a 10% solution of surfex. Wheels were hit with Bilberry / Surfex / Iron X / Tardis and a final Bilberry rinse down. They...

New plates and Osram diadems fitted (may change these for silver visions in the future, forgot just how blue they were!) 20170401_140206 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_152116 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_152056 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr

So after a brief stint in an Audi TT RS, I decided to reduce my car running costs and find a fun car once more - while the TT was quick, it was just too serious and devoid of feedback. So this Mini turned up at the local Mini dealership, 1 owner, only 32k and well specced. After a quick test...

So i'm leaving Z4 ownership after 2.5 years of trouble free motoring. I'll miss the old girl. However the time has come to change up, so i'm collecting my new (to me) 2010 TT-RS S-tronic up next Wednesday :). The sound of that 5 pot engine, combined with the performance and 4wd really sold it...

I have a 3.0si roadster that i've owned since May 2014, it's been a very reliable car with reasonable running costs. However i'm getting the itch (yes I know you can get a cream for that) ............ for a new car :driving: And i'm, against all logical, sensible and financial thoughts...

As per the title, a problem developed on 01/01/2016. When at full lock to the right, in reverse, every so often there's whats best describes as a knock / thud / twang noise with the accompanying sensation coming from the drivers side. I pulled the wheel off, nothing rubbing / catching, not had...

I have a strange intermittent fault - sometimes, when putting into reverse the sensor beeps go nuts so much so it's almost a solid beep - I assume this means either a duff sensor or is there anything else to check out?

So, while trying to cure one problem (namely a creak coming from I believe the hood weight / rubbing as I go over bumps) - I noticed this : Slight gap between trim and pillar : And a slight 'bulge' in the rubber trim here : Now I was thinking 'maybe the windscreen's been replaced' - but...

As per the title, i've noticed lately that the top part of the plastic trim move the windscreen creaks and cracks whenever I go over a slight undulation / bump / rut - see the highlighted sections below : Seems to be worse with the hood up and in place rather than down - and occurs over the...

Another day another paranoid observation / worry... As per the title, noticed today when driving, if I turn my heaters off the temperature in the car drops noticeably. Some of this is caused by the non moveable vents which are directed at the side glass, but also if I put my hand near the...

Cheers for the feedback guys. I might be being paranoid - but let me know what you think of the above video in terms of overall noise. Twisting is something i'd hope you didn't mention :(. When you say check the roof's closing properly - it opens and closes absolutely fine? Anything else to...
