    Autoglym soft top clean and protect kit

    https://www.autoglym.com/soft-top-clean-protect-complete-kit.html Found it in my garage, and I no longer have a soft top. It's a few years old but totally unused and in it's original box, anyone want it for £10 posted?

    What have you done to your car today?

    I think this came out ok :) . New badges, stickers, and 12mm spacers to go on this weekend. Going to try ceramic coating them too while they are new and clean.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Hopefully someone is coming to remove the locking wheel bolts (Kwik Fit lost the key, though they are denying it). Then I am dropping it off to get the wheels repainted in Porsche Aurum Gold satin. It should end up looking something like this:

    Brembo HP2000 pads for 135i (BMW performance) calipers

    Found these when doing a clearout. Had them for my last BMW, fast road pads from Brembo. Very good reviews generally, and these are new and unused (well, a few years old, but they have been in a nice warm dry basement). Cheapest I can find them is £150, so how about £100 posted. Perfect if you...

    DIY garages (near Bristol or otherwise)

    Yeah, I did all this before on an E46 on stands in an apartment car park a while ago. The problem is, after fitting new shocks and springs, I will need an alignment. To get the car aligned, I am sure I will (almost certainly) need to replace tie rods and rear alignment bolts (they are rusted...

    Square setup on Z4M (four rear wheels)

    Before I start shopping for summer tyres (while gazing out at the ice this morning), I wanted to consider a move to a square setup. I have had this on my last BMW (E46) and found that it improved the handling considerably. The easiest option seems to be 18x9 ET30 all round. This is the same as...

    DIY garages (near Bristol or otherwise)

    I am looking for a place I can rent a ramp for a few days to do a rear end suspension overhaul on my Z4, as close to Bristol as possible. There is a place in Cheltenham, but it's only open 9-5 on weekdays, which isn't really compatible with having a job. Does anyone know of other options closer...

    Z4M coilovers

    Anyone thinking of reverting to stock suspension, or have a set of coilovers gathering dust somewhere? Let me know what you have. E86 Z4M only, sadly the suspension is not compatible with any other model. Cheers, Ed

    M3 suspension on a Z4M?

    Hi all, I have been looking at a lot of different options for suspension upgrades on the Z4m, since I priced up a new set of OEM shocks and springs at over £1600 from Sytner. It strikes me as a shame that BMW changed the kingpin design so that E46 (including M3) struts won't work on the Z4. Is...

    Z4M arriving on Wednesday

    Engine oil analysis came back, Redish are happy that there is nothing to be concerned about at the moment. I'll repeat this every few months and keep an eye on it.

    21.5mm rear arb from an M3

    The first job I'm doing on my Z4M are the rear arb links. They are cracked and perished and need to go. I'd like to do the bushes at the same time but OEM bushed are insanely expensive, well over £100 each, and the only aftermarket bushes available are poly. I'd like to stay off poly bushes...

    E86 (2006 Z4m) cruise stalk

    In my ongoing quest to convert every car I buy with cruise control, I am looking for an E85/86 cruise stalk. Is anyone getting rid of one?

    Winter wheels/tyres

    In anticipation of my Z4M turning up, I started planning a road trip to visit a friend in Denmark in February. This will take me through Germany, which mandates winter tyres. Has anyone else come up against this, and what are the options for winter tyres on the M? Is there a BMW approved fitment...

    Z4M arriving on Wednesday

    Hi All, I inherited a bit of money from a car loving uncle, so decided that the only way to spend it is on an E86 Z4M. It arrives on Wednesday and I will try to get photos then, here is a picture from the seller: I have almost exclusively owned fun RWD cars, but have been running a MG ZF EV...
