So someone mentioned to me that using the Spotify built in app on the car is better quality than using Apple car play (Apple Music or Spotify). So I had an offer on Spotify and I have to say the sound quality is much much better! Just in case I’m going mad with confirmation bias, has anyone...

So after a few months with the LCI I thought I would note things that I’ve noticed and I wonder if any of them are just in my head or any of them factual. Switches inside seem to be better quality. More “clicky” Steering feels better. Can’t describe it better than that. Wireless charging...

Some of you may know, I always said that misano blue was the fastest zed, but I have moved to the dark side……just picked up this beauty. Thundernight with all the packs. Minor changes in outside looks. Inside the switches feel slightly different on steering wheel but not much change.

Got a software update come up on my phone today. Will install later, but apparently it’s head up display update for legal reasons. Doubt they add Google maps or Waze to head up display. No idea what else it does other than mess up my coding.

So it looks like all cars must have the speed limit system on all new cars from July 7th. What does that actually mean? Is it the same as what I have now that it warns you when you go over the speed limit or is it actually going to do what they threatened which is slow you down by reducing...

Some of you were aware of strange steering issue I have which is the steering wheel feels notchy with a small about of steering wheel play around the centre point. Was a very strange feeling and was intermittent. Mentioned it to dealership and they found nothing, but now they have had a...

Dear all, My young friend is after an E89. His first z4 and he needs as much help as possible. I blame myself for his desire for a zed. ;) He’s after a 3 litre model. I’m going to send him a link to this post and get him to join the forum. Thanks in advance guys.

So apologies for the long post. My car is a g29 m40i in its fastest version of blue. ;) Oct last year the car was booking in to have the drivers side seat frame replaced as it was moving. Long story short it also needs new leathers and again no problem as part should arrive within a week...

So my son passed his driving test (first time like his father ;) How will I ever sleep again knowing he is out there on the road? I tried to insure him on the zed, but compare the market laughed at me. I could hear it! I was expecting a figure of 12k, but they wouldn’t even quote on it! ;)

Whose car is this? https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeRewW5c/

As the title asked. I’ve been ticking that it isn’t on my insurance quotes, but since they have been going up so much I thought I would check. It’s a saving of £50 a year. Not a huge amount, but it matters. I went on thatcham website and it says that all z4 since 2003 have an approved alarm...

So I’m sitting in my car waiting for a take away order to be ready. Next thing I know I feel a bang of someone hitting me from behind. It was a van. I go outside and the guy was about to drive off. I stop him and he gets out of the car. First thing he says is “I didn’t hit your car”. I said...

Saw this on Facebook. I’ve asked for more photos. What you think?

Had a strange one. The door mirror was creaking while driving. It was so bad that even opening the door triggered it. BMW looked at it and replaced the door mirror under warranty. Only mentioning it if anyone else gets this issue.

I’m getting very worried about him as he hasn’t been online both here or WhatsApp. His phone goes straight to voicemail. If anyone has heard anything, please message me as I am very worried about him. Thanks.

So part of the charm of this forum is people share ideas of things to do with or to their cars. A member on this forum shared a dog seat idea and I stole that idea and spread the idea on Facebook and loads have taken up this rather clever idea. Dog car seat on the centre arm rest secured...

I generally don’t check my mpg, but I was super impressed on my journey to Bristol and back. Adaptive cruise set to 77mph and computer said I averaged 58.8 (road works means some chunks anrr 50mph) and got a whopping 48.2mpg. When I filled up at the end of first leg, the computer said I had...

So what the hell is this? I mean yes I was going 25 in a 20 (which is all of London), but what’s with the threats of further action? What can they actually do?

So I hope you guys like/hate this story as much as I do. BMW x5 going away with the family somewhere in the country when suddenly the car starts making a racket and the goes pop and stops. No warning lights or messages. Just went pop. They have extended warranty and bmw assist so get towed to...

Car gone in for some rattles and for the ppf on drivers side coming off. Car is booked in for 3 days. One of the rattles is the dreaded bass rattle from the rear. Tech heard them all and thinks the big one is from the rear shelf. Strange one is the wing mirror has a squeak on the drivers...
